I think I was gotten by the curse finally... I was skeptical at first, but
then realized that the little "accident" that I had sunday *must* have been
from the curse... The day started off great, my gf and I took a ride out to
chad's place to pick up the service manual I'd let him borrow the previous
week... we made it all the way home (well, just about) without incident,
when she decided that it would be very *exciting* if we could "do it" in my
truck. Well, to make a long story short, the power cord to my radar
detector was plugged into the aux power outlet, it got hit with a stray body
part and of course got smashed into the dash, totally annhillating the tri8m
ring and cracking the livin' daylights out of the outlet. Now, $30 later,
it's all better though. Just thought I'd share my very original story and
how "the curse" has affected my life. hope you all get a nice chuckle out
of it.
