Default I just wanted a cheap commuter car I swear!

So walked into dealership....and simply said...."Hey, what is your cheapest 5 speed 4 cylinder car?" ..... ended up being a 2006 Scion TC....I've appreciated Scions and all, never really had a negative opinion on them...I mean after all they are built by toyota...so...yeah..and that FRS is pretty spiffy.

Test drove it and well...found my work commuter car. My only problem is...I'm a car guy...so...yeah...even though its "just a beater" I already know I'll do "something" to it LOL....and well forums like this is the best way to get info, tips, tricks and so on....

so here I am!

Owner of a 123K mile 2006 black Scion TC....with the big ___ moon/sun roof even has a non opening rear seat sun roof...(not bad for a "beater") lol...5 speed...hey let's face it I'm getting a 4 cylinder, yeah they can be "snappy" but it is what it is so I want to have a little fun and that's not going to come from a slush box lol

black, and either the original owner added, or came from the factory (if that's possible) TRD exhaust and possibly just the shift ****...It really does not seem like a "short shifter" but I could be mistaken....

Drives nice, handles nice and I'm sure with only 123K miles I'll have it for a few years.

any questions ask away, here to pick up any tips tricks cheap deals on stuff someone wants to sell LOL I hate buying full retail and well whatever else happens.

cheers
