Default Hello ScionLife! lots of pics!

My Name is Lee, I'm just about 20 years old and I live in Western Massachusetts. I recently picked up a 07 tC about 4 months ago and I really am enjoying the fuel economy from this little 2.4l with a 5 speed manual transmission! These cars are really fun to cruise around in especially in the warm weather with the sunroof open!

I came from owning two pick up trucks one was an '89 Chevy k1500 with a 5.7l V8, great truck but it just wasn't a practical daily driver... getting roughly 11 mpgs.

I moved onto a 2000 Ford Ranger 4x4 which was taken from me in an accident that came out of nowhere. Luckily it wasn't my fault and the truck ended up getting totaled. here's a picture of the little ranger:

It was a great truck and it's a shame ford stopped producing them last year.

anyways here's a picture of my tC shortly after its first wash and wax (probably in its lifetime).

I got bored and had some paint lying around so I decided to spray the stock wheels, i've done a few paint jobs before and decided I'd go all out with a base coat and a few coats of clear.

winter came up on us fast so I picked up a second set of wheels wrapped in a set of snow tires. (they are just missing their hubcaps)

I've done a few minor things to it when I'm just sitting around bored such as eyebrows on the headlights, white led parking lights, and a few other led modifications.

Nice man. What plans for mods do you have in the future for it, if any?

thanks guys, not much else planned for this tC except maybe a borla cat back, and either a kaminari flush mount spoiler or a stock one, possibly get a set of lowering springs but I'm not sure if I should with these New England winters.

any recommendations for mods? always looking for ideas haha
