I hate watching news when they mention the suspect’s car. “The suspect is believed to have driven a silver or white Mercedes.”

First of all, because it’s a German car, there are literally thousands of white and silver Mercedes in SoCal where this happened, how would this info even help? I guarantee that most neighborhoods have at least one white/silver Merc. That won’t narrow down the search.

Second of all, they didn’t mention if it was a wagon, SUV, sedan, coupe, etc. Again, not helping it narrow down the suspects.

Third, they said that police had a piece of the headlight that broke off when the guy hit the cyclist. Why don’t you show that headlight on TV so people like us Jalops/Oppos can identify the car? They didn’t. So that means I wouldn’t be able to help.

Little details like this make me mad.

Have a white or silver Audi I saw.

I’m with you. “Suspect is believed to be in a light colored Honda.”

Thank you so much for giving me the info I need to help. Might as well just say, “ Suspect(s) gone forever.”

That looks like a melted Fiat 500 with an A3 nose pasted on.

OMG there are sooooo fucking many of them. I’d swear that there were more GT86s on the road than FRSs if I didn’t know better.

I just don’t get it.....why did you buy a scion if you were embarrassed of the brand? is Toyota really that much more highly regarded than scion? ugh I hate the whole jdm fad

Hahaha this reminds me of when I was in Kandahar city in Afghanistan, we would get “intelligence" that the bad guys were in a white Corolla. Literally 2/3 of the cars are white corollas. Useless!

I didn’t want to be seen driving a Scion. That’s why I have a BRZ. Well, that and world rally blue. And the HID headlights... And LED running lights. And the better front bumper.... The differences are subtle, but they add up to the Subie being a better car for me.

why don’t you like scion? like what is wrong with it seems people are creeped out by them for no discernible reason. I fully agree the brz is way cooler than the frs

Make that an A1. And not the Sportback, due to the lack of rear doors.

My neighbor has a relative from Mexico, so this relative drives to the house occasionally, and I’ll see whatever non-US market car he has. The last time he came up, he brought a Seat Leon instead.

Or those amber alerts in which it says like “suspect driving a gray Nissan.” That really doesn’t help, but because amber alerts give the plate number, I can do a VIN check and know what to look for.

Aren’t basically most cars over there some form of Toyota?

Now that you mention it, it really does look like that. Although the interior is 100% Audi.

Yeah. Toyota Hilux and Corolla. The police had ford Rangers though, but your taxes most likely paid for those.
