For those of you who don't know... In Feb my beloved purple was totaled by a 90 year old lady, who crashed into my driver side wheel, later she said she didn't see me... I have had the new Candy cat for a couple of months... Today backing out of a parking spot another old lady started backing up into me... I laid on the horn she stopped then started rolling back anyway... She said to me "It sure does sit low" WTF!!! Luckily she hit mostly the tire and other than a small scratch the Candy is fine... Do I need to investigate installing bumper guards? This is nuts.... I hope Bob from Real Rod can make something cool looking

...sounds to me like you need to stay away from old ladies driving cars ...I'm glad no one was hurt and the damage was light...

That is a run of back luck! I get pissed an old drivers until I think, "hey, wait, that could be me in 15 or 20 years."I hate parking lots that are crowded...

Wasn't there a thread about this a couple of months ago?Something about how the Kat seemed to attract accidents? Looks like nothing has changed.............

Kala - I'll call Target Stores on monday. Maybe they can ship you several of those large Target "target" decals to put on the doors, trunk, and one on each side of the cat nose. If it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all!If the local drivers are over 75,,,,stay the hell away from them! They can't see or hear you! I'm thinking a full size Hummer is your next ride, lol. Stay Safe

Thanks Larry Im sure the Target logo will look great on a Candy I wonder if the screen name "Crash Magnet" is available.... Ed, for the longest time it seemed like people went out of their way to stay away from my purple Cat... People would let me in traffic in front of them when they didn't have to... When I decided to get another Cat, I went for the Candy because of the way it almost looks neon in the sunlight. I thought brighter was better... I live in a expensive tourist town where there are tons of older people, who were here before the prices went thru the roof... Now 1920's, 800 sq ft house, not remodeled is about 580k... A lot of them are selling out and moving to AZ...
Look out!

Kala, in an auto mag last year they had some stick-on bulls eyes that were meant to place on the side mirrors of a Mini and have a contest as to how many bugs you could end up with on them. I could send you them and then people would have an excuse for running into you!

Kala..........geez......sorry to hear that, thankfully only minor. I always park a long way from everyone else and pray that no one parks close.

Larry... Im staying put in Cali... The Hollywood crowd is increasing my property values daily AND someone here needs to be a Laker Fan... Im sure they will hear me screaming all the way to Seacacus on Tuesday Wuzz... Im thinking I don't need much help being a target... I seem to be doing that well on my own... I have noticed that the elders here in the valley have visibility flags on their little scooters... I may have a new use for Prowler flags! CJ... Normally I follow the same parking routine in the back of the lot, out of the way... Just one of those days with too much to do... Good news though a friend spent some time working on the scratch today and it is almost gone! Too cool...

Usually I hear about any kats that come to town (the joys of living in a small town)In the last week I have heard of a Orange and a Mulholland that cruised thru... No one said a Black tie came thru Im in the east end of Ojai near Boccali's pizza, Jim S has a really nice kat, he's on the other end of town. So Ojai actually has 2 Kats... Maybe later in the summer we can all go for a cruise up PCH! Give a call 805-231-8333
