I agree 100%. It doesn't make sense, but it still seems to me the guys who beat on their cars, have faster cars.
FWIW, this is not the only instance my experiences/ beliefs make no scientific or logical sense. How about those "lucky" people who win all the time playing pull tabs/ slot machines/ or drawings? Or get great hand after great hand playing blackjack or poker? Makes absolutely no sense. Me? I NEVER win. Of course, I very seldom play. Hmmm, maybe that's why.
