That week in '97 when I saw the same lime green Cougar three times in one day

Not sure if anyone can top this but back in June of 1997 I was driving from Tacoma to Olympia for a job interview and I spotted that lime green Mercury Cougar, the one with the weird teal-ish tint on the fenders, parked at a gas station. Then two hours later I saw the exact same car on I-5 heading north, which was weird cause the driver looked like he was crying. Then that evening I stopped at a diner in Puyallup and it was sitting in the lot with a flat tire and a note on the windshield. I told the waitress about it and she said that car had been circling the area for days, which made no sense. So here's the debate: was that just some unlucky guy having the worst day ever, or was it some kind of signal that the car was cursed? I've heard stories about this model having electrical gremlins but that seemed beyond random. Anyone else have a day where the same lime green car kept popping up like it was following them?

Used to laugh at cursed car stories, but that flat tire note detail legit creeped me out.
