Hah, I saw this about 5 minutes ago on yahoo and thought I'd share, but then I thought better and decided to see if someone beat me to the punch. Guess so. Anyway I was probably a factor in that too. Bought my car in March of 09. Its a Black 2009 WRX Hatch.
1. 2nd day after purchase. 300mi on Odo. Hit by unavoidable flying tree limb kicked up by oncomming white pickup w/ dualie rear wheels. $860, insurance covered after $500 deductable.
2. 3 months after purchase. 6000mi on Odo. Hit pothole and slightly warped both passenger side rims. $780+/-, insurance + $250 deductable. (Got smarter about deductable)
3. 3.5 months after purchase. 7000mi on Odo. Friends girlfriend swings her front bumper in to my rear drivers side bumper while leaving for work. Peels paint right off. She says, "Oh it doesn't look bad. It's no big deal right?" Yah, as long as $370 and never quite looking the same is no big deal!
4. 4.5 months after purchase. 9000mi on Odo. Parked next to empty parking spot at at work. Came out to find dent in rear passenger side door along with blue paint scuffs and chip of paint missing. Found out later it was the broke, hard luck guy at work. You know the one who you always have to feel bad for? $380.... Meh.
So far I have been about 2 months and 3000 miles with no mishaps. KNOCK ON WOOD!!! BTW those last 2 I paid mostly from my own pocket with a little help from the culprits of the damage. No insurance company involved. Just tryin to do my part to keep the rates lower.
glad I didn't, and I couldn't help notice #2 on the list was scion tc... my friend was just here with his yesterday to show off his trd supercharger... he'll add to that statistic
