I know it sounds like a weird question but I think it is a good one. ;) I was driving with a friend and we were at a stop sign. The traffic was heavy and I must have been at this stop sign for about 5 or 10 minutes. All of a sudden right in front of me an accident occurred. I was not paying attention to the cars in front of me because I was watching the oncoming traffic. I just heard the crash. :confused: My friend swears that my car caused it because the person driving was staring at the car. Unfortunately I did not even notice. I still do not think it was because of the car but he said to just list the post and see if anyone has any similar stories so I am. If anyone has a similar story feel free to list it.

Thanks

Happened to me last year.

The Driver looked at my car and did not recognize the cars in front were braking...BIG BOOOOOOOOM!

BTW, there was a speed limit of 20 (!) miles/hour and the driver was way to fast: 40-50 mph.

Not the same but,Bought my 97 brand new, went for my first drive had not gone twenty miles,while sitting at a light, woman approaching me decided to fix her makeup in her mirror, prioritizing that over her braking.BAAAM...*#@#*#@**#@#**used the rear of my brand new car to stop.we exchanged pleasantries along with insurance cards,she couldnt have been more opologetic,that is until local law enforcement showed up and she insisted that i backed into her????!!!!!This was also about 3 weeks after an uninsured semi truck turned in front of me totaling my other Viper,needless to say my patience wasnt my best asset that day.

Driving on a road that has a slight bend in it. The guy next to me is looking at the Viper instead of the road. Guy goes straight and nails the curb.

Just the other day I was letting a coworker drive my car (and he let me drive his 911 turbo) whe as we were going down the road, someone who was driving turned their head to look at my car when he didn't see the cars in front of him stop. Boom.

Wow. :eek: These are some magnificent stories. I never knew that this car can be so dangerous to the other drivers on the road. I will try my best to prevent those accidents. :D
