Daaamn, that is old school. I've been around since '04 but car was never anything much to look at.
Yours was one of my favorites Diesel. 5:AD, TRD SC, matte gray. Does the other owner still have it?

most people have moved on and rarely (if ever) log on here anymore.
Jon I feel bad for that car, it suffered a horrible fate, lol. I wonder where it is now.

I wasn't terribly active, but I spent a lot of time here.
When I sold it, it looked like this:
And of course it had my $50 RS1 seats:
With my (now) wife's:
I have since moved on, but I still think fondly of my car and I still think one day I'll own another one.

I still log on for some laughs.
Sold my tC after it had 10 gallons of water in it from rain after the street flooded. 2 "deep cleans" by GEICO, and a huge run around later and barely fixing it, It was the last straw. I was tired/bored/disliking the car and scene.
Now, driving my 2nd WRX. Love the car to death, and wish I never got rid of my 04 that I sold for the tC.
Annnddddd already built a motor. 2012 block, STI crank, stock rods, acl bearings, cp pistons, tgv deletes, PnP'd intake manifold, throttle body. Blouch 18G turbo, Turboxs TMIC and TBE. Put down 323 whp on a conservative tune.

I guess Im old school?
First tC 2005
2nd tC back in 2007
and then 2008 Scion xD
and then 2009 Scion tC
and that snow prompted me to buy this
2011 WRX
and i hated that car. Transmission felt like crap, radio sucked, and was numb.
Traded her in for my favorite car of them all

07 tC
It was nothing much. Think the only thing I really liked about it was the TSX retro I did, but pretty much stock just your basic mods.
BUT I'm still in the Scion family have a 05 xB as well. Still treating me just as well as the tC did.
Also, have a 05 Grand Prix White S2000.
When I Picked it up:

Here was my tc:
Then the motor randomly blew and I sold everything off it and it became really gross and dumb.
Then I bought this missile car
And as fun as it was 2nd blew in a shift lock initiation and I went straight into a wall at 50mph. Totaled.
Then I bought another one
And now I am sick of the tc being ____ty, so it'll be back up as a "cool" hipster car.
