Default is the scion tc cursed??

i know this is totally random but ive noticed a large coincidence between scion tc's and vandalism/theft/accidents/ and in some cases being totaled. Ive owned my tc since 06 and so far my car has survived being broken into, keyed, and suffered a cracked bumper (a log was on the freeway).....Every tc owner ive known has had something major happen to their car ex. car being totalled, fix it tickets, and major accidents. I know were all pretty responsible drivers but damn!

its not that the tc is cursed its just that secretly all the other major car companies are hiring people to purposely wreck our cars so that we want to upgrade to a better car especially the new evo just check out the advertisement at the bottom of the page. so watch out and take care of your tc, you never know if you'll be targeted next.

Ha, yeah. I've had bad luck with mine. I've gotten towed, pulled over for the first time, and got in an accident. I'm sure there's more things.. I just can't think of them at the moment.

heres the list of things that has happened to my tC:
- a piece of tire hitting it while driving on the freeway. (took off my bumper in the process)
- got rear ended by an old white dude (he was driving a 08 rx330)
- some lady forgot to hold on her brakes pedal while she was waiting on the stop light to turn green n it was uphill so she backed into me (she said im the one that hitted her)
-and countless minor things... too many to list >=/

tCs still rocks tho!! >=P

yeah it might be cursed but not as much as any another other car

for the 2.5 years i had the tc i've had

-2 speeding tickets (lol)
-dent in trunk (fixed)
-dent in rear quarter panel (fixed)
-some guy reversed into me @ 5 mph (no dmg)
-some lady tapped my rear bumper @ 5 mph (no dmg)

that's about it for the tc so far *knock on wood*
not that bad really

car before that was 2003 ford focus svt (2 years)

-front lip cracked (ran over tire blowout on the turnpike)
-engine caught fire (oil leak - long story)

car before that was '96 izusu rodeo (hand me down - 3 years)

-some lady hit the the trunk (no body dmg but trunk wouldn't open anymore - never bothered to fix it)
-1 speeding ticket (lol)
-lady cut me off on the turnpike - totaling the front end of the car (her fault)

so yeah, that's pretty much my car "career" breakdown, lol

maybe i just have bad luck?
