ok, i just uploaded a bunch of misc tC pictures, and i'm just going to share them. take them for what they're worth, but they are not your standard profile kind of pictures. these pics are mainly for the tC buyer whose only been able to see publicity photos of the tC, and other common pics. so here goes

Got the odometer. it wasn't clear in the scion.com pictures, so if anyone is wondering what it looks like, here it is.


up close with the HVAC controls. in the lower left hand corner is the blinking led for the standard (comes with regardless of security system) engine immobilizer.


got to give a shout out to my IIP friends


this is what the scion keys look like, you get two with the standard (comes with) keyless entry system. the other is a valet key (you could pay more for the security system, but its worth jack at $500. i got a viper 791xv for less)


cup holder, ebrake, shifter and coin box. thats an air freshener in my cup holder. i drive alone most of the time.


front profile with fog lights (couple of people had asked for stock fog light pics)


how much space is really in the back of the hatchback. i added a case of 35 polland spring water bottles for reference. notice the front seat folds back flat. that is also the bazooka sub that fits so nicely in the wheel well. i dont understand the point of having a hatchback, but having a huge sub smack dab in the middle... but thats just me.


what the crappy stock head unit looks like. it does its job tho.


interior, foot pedals, dead pedal. i'm a 6'1" guy and i fit comfortably.


moonroof fully opened with the glass wind damn


washing and waxing your car after only 2 weeks of owning it... priceless.


mwah. i love my tC. will drive her till the floor falls out, and given its a toyota, wont happen for at least 15 years. (i had a '90 camry that still runs, before i got this car)

 

Why would you put an air freshener in a car that has 2 miles???

So much for the new car smell.

 

haha, i knew someone would ask me that. it was discussed in that air freshener thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=60538

but i HATE the new car smell. i want my car to smell like NOTHING. i put the in-cabin filter w/ active carcoal already, but doesn't quite get rid of that new car smell. this ai freshener is not overpowering, and is very subtle. nice hint of apple in the backgorund. you'd have to take a huge whiff of ait to really smell it. i like that.

for the life of me, can someone explain to me why people like that new car smell, and i'm trying to get rid of it? i should find a way to package and sell it. hahaha.

 

the new car smell gave my friend a headache lol

 

same for my gf lol

 

Do the fog lights have a seprate switch to turn them on or do you turn em on with the headlight stalk thing?

 

in the following pic, the button to control turning it on and off is right next to the power mirror controls. right behind the turn signal stalk. simple push button on/off.

 

Gives me one as well.

 

The Bazooka sub looks huge

 

but not in the middle

 

Nice pics. damn iip looks really good in the sun. the only thing is i thought the dash was more darker than that. i dont have a tc yet but is there any way to darken the dash without painting or dying it, maybe tint will make it a lil darker?

 

hey whats up Epitek.. nice pics... my question is what kind of camera did u use?? regular camera? disposable?? digital?? they are awesome clear pics...

 

For the picture with the hatch down and the front passenger seat folded, is the front seat all the way folded down??

I didn't know it went that far... Or is it just an optical illusion?

It almost looks like the front passenger seat is backwards too!

 

Yes it is flat. If you take the headrest off, move the seat all the way to the front, it will be flat to the rear seats.

 

Thank god summer is closing. Just a random pic.

 

hey man i live in ridgecrest right now i was in bakersfield for a few years and i know for a fact it didnt get that hot there this summer. that temp gauge must be wrong. ive always wondered in they are really that accurate too.

 

yeah the temp in my IS read up to 116 in jersey...good thing it really wasnt that hot out

 

This was me getting into the car for the first time that day around 2PM middle of summer. Maybe its the like inside of a car. If you leave it the car outside without putting the windows down it gets alot more hot than the actual outside air. Don't know, but thats what it said.

 

Can you install this in the hatch without affecting anything, like the spare tire or something like that?

 

No comment really. Just wanted to make sure those with 56K pay!
