and yes, i did read about the flaming, and i dont think i flamed any. but this is a forum and no matter how many disclaimers you put, it's still a forum. kanundrum knew this from his first reply post :D

A lot of Scion owners feel the need to prove scions are great, because their peers (who own some of the other popular cars), constantly bash them for owning a Scion. 9 out of 10 of the peers that bash them don't know the car from a hole in the ground. So, we as a community feel the need to show them what we are made of.
I personally, here in my local scene have gained respect for my tC by beating cars that are greater in value and performance. More often than none I have had someone say to me...."I don't really like Scions, but your tC is hella nice". Or they heard about the car, and it's reputation and give me props on it.

tell me about it travis, i go to school with a bunch of 18 yr olds and they constantly bust the tCs ***** lol. one of them has an 07 eclipse (4cyl) the other has a 6cyl monte carlo (early 2000s) i bust their ***** all the time because i say at least its not a girls car like an eclipse (his is orange too), and at least mine wont break down every 6 mo like the monte

but anyway, while i think we need to gain a good rep and respect, from the meets ive gone to and the things i've seen people brag about, sometimes i feel ashamed to be part of some events or groups. and im tired of random tc drivers trying to race me and show off when they're so much as within the vicinity. but, luckily the more matured of the scion group usually hang out and make a real contrast to the morons.
ive gotten a number of compliments on my car and people who walk by and take a look. its pretty cool. still has that good ol' new tc charm. the "wow this must have cost xxxxxxx" and i reply, "twice that, at least!"

its exciting for about a second, then i'm over it.
i havent raced in general in a while. too much school and too little money. lucky for me, there is an autocross this saturday at the air force base :D time to test out the supercharger.
