Your car doesn't have to lean to turn either.

I know there is a cat in the neighborhood who wishes the car was higher.

I also found out that apparently in order for it to be bad luck, a black cat has to COMPLETELY cross your path.

A while back I was driving the Crossfire to work and this black cat comes streaking out into the road in front of me. No chance to stop, he went under the middle of the car.
I felt a light "thunk", looked in the mirror and he was running in big circles in the road.
No bad luck, matter of fact I bowled really well the next night.
