Default ____ed.

while at school today, I returned to find that someone thought it would funny to kick a dent right into the driver's door. I am furious. there is nothing the school can do for me, because appearently they are not responsible for my vehicle, or it's contents, however the police can search any vehicle on school property at any time. they even have cameras! I am so sick of the attention this car gets. I'm so sick of people talking s**t, vandalizing my car, and even people looking at it. I wish there was a way to take it back, get our money back and get something different. the dent itself is small, but it's the principle.
to potential xB owners: please be aware that your car WILL be noticed, people may talk s**t about it to your face, they may yell s**t about it while you're driving down the street. they may kick in your door too.

don't get me wrong.. I love this car a lot, and if it weren't for haters, I'd have no problem. and on top of this little incident, my active stability control has been going crazy for no appearent reason. I'm having an xB breakdown :-\

Ok- if they have cameras was yours parked in the view of a camera? If so have your parents DEMAND to see the video. Demand to see the video so you can identify the person who did it! Most of the time you have at least a few days before the tape is re-used. I would do that ASAP.

i would have them review the tape as well. this is the exact reason why they have cameras. vandelism is @#$% wrong and they need to review the tape or you need to get an attorney.

this kind of thing has happened before, and they don't care. they just use the cameras to catch people who do burnouts. I should probably mention that this is a high school. I'm not worried about the dent itself, it's just the principle of it. barely 2 days go by before I hear someone yell "your car sucks" or "scions are ___". I've had enough. I can't even tell you how many fights I've almost been in because of this car.

I'm ____ed too. found that I bent a rim today.

by the way, I'd demand to see the tape FAST, in case they loop the tapes after a few days and anything might get recorded over.

ugg, more haters.. they just think it's cool to be lame and laugh at Scions because they can't get one. most of the people that pick on Scions like the looks of Scions deep down. the box is TOPS!!! get a look at that vid before it's taped over and find out who it was and whoop that mother trucker's anus. we must rid the world of haters and do it in a quick fashion. yo, don't let that waiver your liking of your Scion. you got it because you like it and a couple of lame kids shouldn't change your way of thinking. LET'S REVOLT!!!

I would care about my car! You must not be paying for your ride. Do your parents care that there is a dent? Who pays the insurance? I would demand to see the tape!

the people that make fun of your car are the people that cant afford it and wish they had it. screw them. youll soon learn that it doesnt matter what they think. at least you have nice things to be proud of. i wouldnt get rid of the car because of some punk @#$ kids.

of course I care about the car, and I pay the insurance. I know that dents and dings are just a part of owning a car... not a week after I got it (I'll have had it for a year in a couple weeks) there was a door ding on the passenger side.

i'm going to ask if I can see the tape tommorow when I go to pay for my parking permit... in all honesty, I don't even know if the camera's actually tape. I have heard of people getting caught doing burnouts, though. I'm just worried of what I'll find next. now I expect to find something worse one day.

Sorry to hear about that. I've never noticed anything like that here for the past two years. Some people are just too late to catch on. Especially with our cool xb's. I would park at the furthest parking space away from everyone.

My school has added a video system over the last summer (i just started going here my senior year), i'm so glad they have it cause if someone did this ____ to my car.... i would be fuggin ____ed. I mean WTF, payin of 11,000$ for the next 5 years so this _____s can dent my car pffffftttt i'd rip their doors off and through em in the sea

my school claims that the video they record is saved for up to 60days because it's all digital, i'd get that video and somehow get a copy, or at least find out who did it. I bet they don't even have a car... can't wait for someone to say ____ about my xB once i get it. I heard a lot of ____ about my echo, and it was always from people with much older cars, i mean come on, your ____ aint any better than mine and your gonna say ____? honestly wtf, jealous ****'s /rant off

Dont ask for the tape DEMAND it. If they dont get it tell them you will get a lawyer and a court order to turn over the tape! How can the school condone vandalism? Ask them that!
