Default My tC was attacked

Unbelievable.

A passing Plymouth on the street just projected a hub cap at my parked tC outside my office window. It rolled across the parking lot and shifted directions sharply to assure a direct hit with the front bumper of my tC. What are the odds. See the damage below:

What's even more unbelievable is that you actually saw it happen! Time to hunt 'em down.

ScratchX and some wax should take care of that. Fortunately, the bumpers are tough. Mine have hit and been hit by more things than I care to think about and they still look good.

The things happening to the cars isn't hilarious, its the fact that every little thing that does happen shows up in these forums. You are doing exactly what the enemy wants by reporting their misdeeds and making their car damage famous. You should just deal with it privately and try to find out who did what to your car with the police or other authorities. By coming to these forums and whining about your scratches, dents, and other automobile injuries, you are doing exactly what these haters want. Do you really think that scion owners are the only ones reading these forums? Get serious.

The fact that it was a Plymouth explains the flying hub cap
We had TWO Plymouths before...what a mistake. We had to replace the tranny twice before it hit 100,000 miles!

Man, are you serious...... What a theory. Is this the only forum you've ever been to? It happens at all of them.

I had similar damage that happened in a wierd way... more on that in a second. What fixed it was that I bought a clay bar and tried it... it really worked on about 99% of it. If you squat down and get about 18 inches away and know where to look you can still see damage but standing up a foot or two away you'd never know it was there.

Ok, what happened was that there was a square piece of plywood in the road, about 18 inches on a side. The road was a highway, in this case a 55 mph one. The car in front of me drives over the board, and between driving over it and the wind turbulence from the car, the board decides to stand up in the middle of the road on its edge. I have cars around me on all sides (man I hate dallas traffic) and there's nowhere to dodge, so I get as far over to the right as I can, but I hit it on my front left corner. The board was painted black. I get to where I'm going and get out and look at it and it looks just like yours except the scratches are black.

Anyhow the clay bar worked and I think its worth a try.

Wow dude, I thought I was paranoid. *nervously glances around his locked room* Anyways as I was saying... I hope you arent being genuine here. Obviously these are all just accidents... No one is hating on our scions because they are Scaglietti's or anything. Maybe tibby drivers, but thats a long shot. I love my car, I've had to replace the whole front fascia+left headlight out of pocket too, and I never put up a post to whine about it. $800 down the shatter.
