Update: The Kent Car Curse

Since this last post, I have to report about what has happened. I know most of you don’t think that this curse has any merit, but I kid you not . . . after that post, this all happened within at least a week’s time frame.

My parents went to Boise to visit my oldest sister and her family, and wouldn’t you know it . . . their radiator went out! They had to leave their car in Boise and borrow a car to get back home.

Face PalmWithin three days of my parents car “exploding,” that same sister and her husband were on their way back to Minnesota to a family funeral, their radiator went out about an hour and half into their road trip. They had to wait for a tow truck, and then they had to wait for another truck to come and pick them up! Their family all couldn’t fit in the first tow truck. Needless to say, they made it to their destination safely after renting a car.
Within six days of my parent’s radiator blowing up, and three days within the oldest sisters’ care exploding, my middle sister called me and informed me that their brand-new car had a bad transmission! Not only did their transmission have to be replaced (in a brand-new car), but the dealership had never seen anything like this happen with that new of a car, or with that particular brand (Nissan Pathfinder).

And to top it all off, my dad’s farming equipment went out too! And let me tell you, you just don’t go buy a new combine! They retail (used) at $250,000. So he has had to wait for scrap parts so he can fix the combine and complete the harvest for this year.

I know some of you were completely skeptical about my post and just thinking that it was just a run of bad luck. IT WASN’T! I have other stories to plead my case, but now you truly have the proof you need. The Kent Family is CURSED!
