Default My girlfriend just bought a tC RS5.0...

Hello tC owners,

Just popping in to let you know #545 has been sold to my girlfriend. Pics are available on my website:
http://ein311.no-ip.org/tc/

Better here than on photobucket, so they don't get resized.

They're HUGE pics, so 56k be warned.

It's been raining ever since she got the car so forgive the dirtiness, more pics will be up when it's nice and shiny.

That's pretty awesome. I like the red and black. I drove the RS4 today, I don't think I can go the speed limit in it. It has the custom grill and body accents, I like the RS5 a lot more.

How'd you convinced her to buy a tc? I've been trying to convince my gf to buy one. Share with me your secret.

She likes red and black.

Instant want.

Other than that, she straight-up told me she would NOT look at a Scion for her next car (She actually wanted an Audi...)

But she's had it for a day now and she loves it. She's already asking about mods and whatnot. She smiles every time she starts it up and hears the exhaust.

Ha, good luck with an Audi. They tend to be troublesome.

yeah instead of asking for mods she would be asking for money for service issues

^ ahha then it wasn't an RS5 unless it was a custom paint... i saw one at the stealership the other day and it actually looks nice, it's simple but stands out at the same time.

It's about as flat black as it gets. You're probably seeing the dirt.
Actually, going back and looking at the pics...the black did come out really grainy. Probably just my Canon SD1000...good little camera but not the best in cloudy weather.

you're looking you got an RS from valley toyota in hanford. I live there and wanted an RS and they didnt know what I was talking about.
Yea, the first time we went to the dealer (about three week ago) I asked the guy who talked to us about the RS5, and he didn't even know what the package was. We went to the Scion website and he was looking at it all amazed and saying how it looked cool, etc.
It took them a while, but they finally called back saying they had it, so we went down just to check it out and she ended up getting it.

And yea, Audi....

Kinda sad when the customer has to educate the dealership about the cars they sell.

really like the red interior of the RS though,very nice.

Hehe...yea.... I figured they would have known about it since I found out through a press release. I only assumed they also received such information releases at the dealers.

I hate the pictures of the red interior on the Scion website. It looks totally fake and doesn't look nearly as good as an actual picture (or seeing it in person) of the interior.
