My Grassroots Motorsports shirt is cursed.

Hello all,

I'm starting to think my GM shirt is cursed. Just the other day I was wearing my shirt proudly and I ran over a cat on my street, with the car not the shirt. Previous to that I had a bad day at the track (see pic). I'm hoping maybe the good people at Grassroots might send me a new shirt so I can start anew.

Flip it

Here's hoping.

Thanks Glenn

That pic is just unbelievable!!

Invisible too.

I'm trying to fix it. ha.

Too horrible for mere mortals, apparently.

oops, there it is.

In reply to mndsm:

try it now.

Yes, oops is definitely the word.

Ouch!!

I'd burn the shirt now. No, not tomorrow, NOW.

I have the same belief with a certain pair of boxers. After the 3rd unfortunate incident (shop incident, long arm of the law incident, leaving a job), I threw them in the biggest dumpster and my life has been awesome ever since!

I'm hoping maybe the good people at Grassroots might send me a new shirt so I can start anew.

Hope in one hand. Hold your cc in the other.

dare we ask what a Vibe was doing on a track?

If you had coated the whole left side with GRM stickers, it wouldn't have had any damage (see: $2010 challenge e30 that burned except where the GRM sticker was)

I was sharing a ride with a friend with his car but he was on holidays so I thought, hey these race tires/rims fit the vibe what's the worst that can happen. I found out.

Thanks for fixing the link

Try the black T-shirt. That's my formal GRM wear. The white ones are for walking swapmeets, junkyarding, and working on projects.

I am wearing one right now, and the first time I ever held my kid, I was wearing one. It's good karma.

Sure, I'll trade you a fresh, uncursed GRM T-shirt for a high-res photo of the Vibe on its side.

My first GRM shirt was certainly cursed. I opened the package, put it on, went for a bike ride, and ended up with a concussion and some pretty E36 M3ty road rash. I've also worn out my second black GRM shirt. I need to pick another up at some point.

did you claim that the throttle stuck on it?

Can anyone explain to me why GRM shirts are ever anything but black? Apart from GRM and CM shirts, I don't own many white shirts because my life revolves around dirty machines, which I tend to touch.

Off topic a bit but this should be used as proof to all those that say. " I am going to be using my DD so I will only be doing HPDE's"

My laundry lady lost my GRM shirt.

This. Even if you believe in luck or curses, you have only one real unfortunate event on that shirt. Tipping a mini-SUV at the track isn't bad luck, it's straightforward physics.

Oh come on, the Vibe is a badge engineered copy of the Matrix... a hatchback if there ever was one.

I think we had a cursed suitcase. After getting married we bought a new set of luggage for our honeymoon. As we were leaving for said honeymoon, 30 minutes from the airport there was construction on the highway and traffic went from 60 to standstill very quickly...the minivan behind us did not and hit us hard enough to total the car, push the trunk contents through the back seat into the passenger compartment and pushed us into a rather nice Mustang in front of us. My wife hit her face on the dash and we thought for sure her jaw was broke and her teeth nearly went through her lower lip. Extricated by EMS on a back board and neck collar, we spent the next day in the hospital. Although sore and bruised, we decided to continue and were able to change our departure for the next day and proceed to Italy where her father grew up. My wife still has problems with jaw pain. Later my mom borrowed same suitcase for a trip to Florida and spent the entire trip hospitalized with diverticulitis. We gave the suitcase away. I wouldn't say I'm superstitious, but I'm not taking any chances either. Afterwards we also realized we had booked our honeymoon trip for 13 days. And related to the the other State Farm thread, the lady that hit us had State Farm and they refused to compensate us more than $500. At the time we also had State Farm. They were so unreasonable and unwilling to work with us, we made sure to take them to court and they ended up paying about 40 times that. I HATE State Farm and make it a point to tell everyone our story. Our attorney at the time told us State Farm is so notorious for putting up road blocks, causing delays in lawsuits, etc, that many lawyers refuse to take a SF case.
