ok so i was trying to be cool and fit in with the 240's so i pulled my e-break and did a 180, how come the car shuts off??? is it a safety feature of some kind? i probably sound like such an idiot...

 

Is your tC a manual or auto? If it is a manual, perhaps when you did the 180, you simply stalled out the engine.

 

auto........

 

why yes, yes you do.

 

i just wanna know why it does that.....

 

actualy u know what the same thing happend to me, but im still not sure if i just accidentaly let go of the clutch...

 

'cause it's a camry....(said in that pauly shore kinda weez tone)

 

i second that, but at least you're pretty.

 

ok well fine if none of you know why then ill call scion... its nothing i did cuz u spun the car more then once... go out into your drive ways and do it NOW!!!! and then u can call me an idiot...

 

Yea, let them call you an IDIOT

 

How much gas did you have in your car when you did this?

Anybody know if the tC's tanks are baffled?

 

half a tank.... just cuz im a girl doesnt mean im an idiot

 

hmm looked in your gallery pics... You are a cutie!

But I also noticed the "owie" pic... Your still trying to whip a _____ and all that after your car has obviously already had some sort of accident....

 

With half a tank it most likely was not the reason I was thinking.


Yeah, nice pics. What happened to your car, though?

 

a kid ran a red light and i hit him.... 11k worth of damage

 

Sorry to hear....


Have you called Scion yet? I'm interested to hear what they have to say...

Keep us posted...

 

When you apply the ebrake it locks the REAR wheels... this is a front wheel drive car, so once it completed the 180 it was applying pressure in reverse to the front wheels while you had it in drive... most likely the reason for your stall. Not the best thing for your car either

 

It could

 

I would

 

My mustang had the collision cutoff in the rear. An inertia switch that you can reset behind the trunk carpet. But it would not trip unless it took quite a jar. They gave tons of issues though, failing and having to be replaced.
