30 Times Car Owners Had Such A Terrible Day, They Went To The Internet For Comfort
There are few things more terrifying than when something happens to your precious. By ‘precious,’ I mean your car, of course. And by ‘your,’ I mean that you may or may not have just made your final car payment before something horrendous happened to your beautiful gilded horseless carriage.
It might have been your fault; it might have been a darn seagull that dropped a catfish on your windshield (true story); it might even have been the Universe that messed up. But either way, some car owners are having such a horrible day that they can loudly proclaim that it sucks (and it’s way worse than yours)! So it’s no wonder that they posted their experiences on the ‘Well That Sucks’ subreddit.
Check out the photos of some of the best worst car disasters that Bored Panda collected below and remember to upvote the ones that made you cringe or forced your heart to skip a beat as you scroll down. Bored Panda also contacted the 'Well That Sucks' moderator team to learn more about their subreddit, so check out our interview with one of them, redditor Chaos_a, below. When you’re done praying that nothing bad like what's in this post ever happens to your car, take a peek at our other posts about the ‘Well That Sucks’ community right here, here, as well as here.

Bahaha, I don’t know why they would even attempt to try anything. They should have just called up the person in charge for a spare key.
Car Crashed And A Parking Ticket
With over 2.3 million members, the ‘Well That Sucks’ community posts a bit of everything for everyone. The subreddit is dedicated to all the unpleasant things that happen in life and make us say, “Well, that sucks,” and has been up and running since the Spring of 2013.
Chaos_a attributes the vast popularity of the 'Well That Sucks' community to crossposting. "The creator of this subreddit went around making posts with 'cross post /r/wellthatsucks' in the title. It's a pretty common tactic on Reddit and clearly worked out for us. They gained enough [attention] to get the ball rolling. Redditors must enjoy joining in on other peoples minor miseries, and we've grown to well over 2 million users since then," they told us.

I Never Thought Lighting Could Strike A Car
The rubber tires keep it from getting electrocuted but the windows and stuff can still get hit.

Up to 25 years ago a car was safe. The car was made of sheet metal and the windows were smaller. The design was nearly a Faraday cage. Now rooftops, windshields and hood aren´t made of metal anymore, so the safety of the Faraday cage disappeared. You´re just a safe as in an open carriage.
Yeah but the metal of those cars made their crumple zone more dangerous in a crash. A modern car is designed to burst into pieces and leave you inside the husk, rather than trapping you in the crumple zone framework.

It is a car after catching fire simewhere arround front panel. not al lightning strike.
I always heard it was safer to stay in the car because the tires conducted the energy away. Guess not.
OHHHHH SO BAD, TAKE HEED PEOPLE, YOUR CAR IS NOT THE SAFETY ZONE, DURING LIGHTENING STORMS....
Lightning will hit whatever it damn well likes. LOL The tyres will offer a little bit of protection to anyone inside unless of course you are in a front seat of this car.
I always knew this would happen... WE ARE.. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Most Mercedes drivers have it coming though

This is actually fairly common in Florida. While the tires do act as an insulator the car is made of metal which attracts the lighting.
The metal is hardly attracting lightning, seeing as it's parked below a row of tall metal streetlights? Unless it was driving when hit, but then I'd expect a crash (blinded+deafened+shock, even if unhurt and car controllable you'll not park it).

Bird Dropped A Catfish Onto Car Windshield
If you think that getting into an accident is scary, imagine how much trouble you can be in if you don’t have any insurance. But navigating the world of car insurance practically requires a Master’s Degree, a wise and friendly mechanic, or an engine-minded uncle who’s been behind the wheel since he was tall enough to reach the gas pedal.
If you’re living in the United States, then the most important coverage is your state’s minimum liability and property damage coverage, writes The Balance. Remember, you have to pay your insurance so that you can drive around legally. And you can land in hot water if you don’t. You can get fines, be eligible for damages, and might even get sued if you get into an accident without insurance.
However, there are plenty of other types of insurance that you can (and might want to) get: physical damage coverage, comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, and others. It can make your head spin. So get to grips with all of your financial things before you end up having a worse day than others. And don’t forget—if all else fails, there’s nothing shameful about riding a bike to work!

One of the reasons that we must have our car checked every year when it's 5 years and older. Failing to do so means that you automatically get a €130 fine after 2 months of the ultimate date you should have done it.

Paint on a car isn't a nightmare to remove if caught in time. I woke up once to find my car spray painted with graffiti, however it was simply removed with a wet cloth. I'm pretty sure a power washer could remove a lot of the paint in these photos, if not all.
about a couple of years ago or so, my mom got a new windshield, and a week later our neighbor's/landlord's tree broke in a storm and a huge branch fell on our truck. he was supposed to pay, but he did a crappy job and now our passenger door sounds like the window is cracked all the time and when it rains it starts to leak from the sunroof unless we put something up there to stop it.
My car got stolen and the person got into a minor wreck in it barely any damage but it was found in Atlanta, I live in Kentucky. And I had to pay nearly $200 to get it out of impound even tho it was stolen and not my fault.
I was on a bus going through the Sydney airport when a woman carelessly opened her car door right in front of us. No-one was hurt, but the door ended up looking like a concertina and the woman got a nasty fright.
OK, this happened 2 weeks ago = I bought a very nice SUPER CLEAN used minivan and had had it for three days. My friend noticed a loose bolt under the driver's seat, grabbed a can of spray paint I'd just bought (new; ie: FULL) and used it to hammer the bolt home. Bolt still needs repair. Interior, including ALL windows were redecorated. I can't make this s**t up. spraypaint...1b030b.jpg
