Finally gaining more respect for my tC
Whats great about a tC is this...I've turbo'd mine, put all new suspension, wheels, tires, exhaust, body kit, dvd player, kickin system, racing seats a lot of crap....yet.. I can still go to the grocery store and cram an A$$load of stuff into my lil ol TC, Take my mom out for dinner, Or My favorite........ get the girlfriend, pack up and take a weekend trip somewhere with no problems, So what the tC lacks in speed or power, whatever, it soo makes up for with every day life. I

loland sometimes i cant help but just nod my head and see their faces melt off. haha
before i got the tC i looked into a mazdaspeed 3, but i figure i would save my money for aftermarket turbo and etc. and to me the tC is pretty fast for what it is...and im tired of people putting tC's down...scion 4 life!!

i lost a girlfriend once because i paid more attention to my scion that her
It's funny because I felt the same way. I put down roughly 50k miles on her before I did my first modification (Injen CAI, TRD springs and rearsway bar; now on my new set of tires too) and I'm wondering why I never did those things before? It is a different car now with those small mods and here I am contemplating on what next to get?
Gotta' love the tC, lets me save up for the big project...

if he was running the same mods as you, he would have "walked away" from you... like i said my friend has this car and i have drove it aswell... his car pulls alot harder then our tC... for numerous reasons 1. the nissan has more power 2. it has a lsd 3. the car is lighter 4. the top end is just nasty
however the tC is cheaper so we can mod and be faster then the se-r for less money then the baseline msrp on the nissan

next time ask him to follow you to the freeway and let me know how fast you think your car is compared to his...
But if his was going for it then i am glad you won... i still havent been able to beat my friend in his spec-v... were pretty even for about a 1/8mi then his top end just kicks my ___
