So, my car has a curse on it...

I swear, sometimes I wonder what the deal is with this car.
Yesterday, I went to pick up my car from the body shop where the guy who did the original paint job was do some touch up work and reattaching the mud flaps. I tried to call him all day and the phone just rang and rang and rang. I got worried so I thought I should just go over and see what's up. I get to the street he lives on, turn the corner and I'm immediately confronted with Police line do not cross tape all the place. My first thought was "wtf!!!". I didn't know what to think. Then I noticed a gaping black hole in the side of his house. The door was hanging open and there was fire codes cars all over... THE GUY'S HOUSE BURNT DOWN! I was freaking stunned. I went up to the house and looked inside...gutted. There were codes guys in there and they told me that his girlfriend was med-evaced to philly and that she was in critical condition from burns and smoke inhalation. My car was locked in the garage out back. What a horrible mess. I guess the girl is in critical condition but all indications are that she will be ok, thank god. The guy called me later on and had me come over and get my car. Someone had taken advantage of the situation and tried to break into his truck (people are such asses). So I got my car back but geez. So far, it's been hit from behind by a guy having an epileptic siezure and sittting in a garage when someone's house burns down. Not to mention I mopped up like a liter of a dark brown substance from the front and rear seats that looked alarmingly like blood.
I'm really only kidding about the curse but, man, it sure seems to be an uphill struggle. As long as she's ok to me I guess I won't worry too much.
