Hi everyone. I just found this forum a couple months ago and I've got to say the information people post are quite invaluable. Anyway, I've been driving a 05 (Manual) TC for about 4 years and decided to look into some mods recently. As a daily drive, this car is the perfect car for students like me thanks to reliability, gas mileage, and lower repair costs. I love my TC and hope everyone enjoys their rides too. Thanks.

Thanks! I will have to check that thread out.
No problem. I have an 08 tc as well cept the flint mica color. I have a thread I made called part by part tc. I haven't posted on there in a while to show off some stuff I did to my tC but if ever you want to build up and post each time or post after a year is cool hahahaha! It's just a thread to help others on their choices for making big to small mods it is suppose to give the person an idea to improve a mod already done or come up with a new one.
So any ways I hope you enjoy your tc they are fun to drive even at the beach! :D

Hey Everyone! My name is Jeanie, I am the proud new owner of an 08 tC that I got this past Tuesday. I am new to the Scion world, I previously had a lightly modded 96 Accord so the tC is a dream! Don't get me wrong, I did love my Accord and all the hard work that I put into it but I've been searching, comparing, and researching for a while now and as soon as I found this car I fell in love. I have very high hopes and dreams for this car and I cant wait to keep everyone updated on the progress. I will gladly take any comments,concerns, or anything that you think a new tC owner should know that I may not! Here is a pic of the tC the day I brought her home, a pic of my Accord that I do still have, and a pic of my first project on the car Last night I wrapped the center bezel and the shifter trim panel with carbon fiber vinyl and I will be doing some more Im just not finished quite yet. Nice to meet everyone!

Sry, didn't have pics up last time. I live in NJ with lots of street parking where people seem to just ram your car and not leave insurance info. Anyways, I plan on putting some more stuff into my car, mostly performance nothing real visual, but maybe i'll toss on a lip kit or something later on.

Hi Guys!
I just got my black 2006 tC 5-Speed. I picked it up with 75k miles on it. ;)
I'm really loving it, I named her (?) Shadow, because of her blue LEDs that the previous owner apparently went crazy over. I'm just introducing myself! Hope to learn a ton and turn her into a real babe.

New owner of a 07 gray TC automatic. 152k miles. Noisy engine but runs/drives excellent. The ride is a bit harsh, but not uncomfortable
Plan on leaving it stock as my modding days are long gone, and I have a motorcycle to cure my speed fix. It already has a spoiler and window tint. This was not my first choice for a new used vehicle, but the price was right, it was the color I wanted, and now that I've had it, it fits me well. Very glad with the purchase

Whats up everyone, bought my Manual 08' BRM tC about 2 and ahalf months ago. Got rid of a Impala SS for something a bit more sport-like and relatively easy to mod, love it and couldn't be happier right now. Only 30k miles and previous owner already added exhaust, intake, and headers. I plan on making some changes once it warms up here, espiecially suspension (hopefully coilovers if possible).
Sry didn't add pics but a couple are on my profile

2006 Scion TC AP
This is my 2006 Scion TC that I have had since 0 miles. Original Owner. I have used this as a commuter for 8 years now and think it's time to kick it up a notch now that warranty has run out. I have 82,000 miles on it and have taken care of the engine pretty well. The exterior on the hand has hater marks and a spot where a kid shot a bb at it while my girl was driving. Other than that I love my TC and hope to go faster in the near future.
pics aren't that great but I'll post better ones when I get more done.

Toyota/Scion of Lake City
Hello Scion enthusiast!
My name is Chris Mc., I'm a sales associate at Toyota/Scion of Lake City in northern Seattle. Please contact me if you need a Scion!!!! I've been a fan of Scion since its inception, and recently decided to follow my passion by selling them. This is an incredibly tough business to break into, especially to those who don't want to be a typical car salesman. Please help me show how great the Scion fan base is, by coming in and asking for me. If you send someone to me and they purchase a vehicle, I will send you a nice lil referral check! FYI: We still have a (new) 2013 FR-S Series 10 for sale, and our management are great at locating specific new vehicles. We had a TRD FR-S delivered to us too, but it didn't stick around for a single day! Contact me at 206-366-3100, Facebook.com/ChrisMcTLC, or ChrisMc4@gmail.com. I'd be happy to answer any questions and keep my eyes open for any particular vehicles for you! Thanks for reading!
