Default A Honda accident yields a cop's inquiry on tC

This story is a more or less interesting one.

Last night, I was driving my Honda Accord home from school (high school). And I got into an accident. I was going the speed limit, and was slowing down. Apparently the girl behind me was going to fast so she couldn't slow down in time, and she hit me with her dodge neon! It was so bad that her license plate went through my exhaust pipe! So blah blah blah.... she's at fault says the cop, and our cars get towed.

so today, I went with my dad to go check the honda out, me driving the tC of course. And so we talked with the guy.. blah blah blah, and we get out. A cop is looking inside the tC, and we make some conversation. He asked questions like who makes Scion (he pronounced it sky-on.. bleh) and he seemed interested in it.

So my misfortune probably turned someone else into a potential owner. :o

Actually had a cop ask me about Scion a few weeks ago as well. I was parked in downtown seattle in a spot that was No Parking between 3pm-7pm. I didn't get to my car till 3:04, and the cop had just pulled up. So as I was talking with her about my reasoning, she was curious about the car.

Very nice lady, was unable to cancel the ticket (automated hand-held thingies now), but was very nice anyways, and was very shocked to hear both the price and the manufacturer. I think I may have sold her on an xA, too! :o

No, now they know what a Scion is....... So when some idiot gets called in with a Scion, they know what it looks like.

Are you saying if I buy an Impala I'm gonna get LESS tickets? ok......
