Default New guy here

Hello Everyone,

The name is Jacob. I'm 20 years old, a full time student at UK, a National Guard soldier, and I work in the parts department at a Toyota dealership.

I'm leasing a 2015 TC through Toyota and currently waiting to pick it up. I figured i could at least go ahead and introduce myself since i'll be on here a lot. I've been a frequent browser anyways.

Here is a little background on how i got to my scion:

I used to drive a 2000 civic si with b18c swap.

Spent a stupid amount of money on it only for it to rear ended and totaled by some chick with no insurance. Using the money i got from my insurance company and after i sold it, i bought a Lexus IS300. It was bone stock before i put the wheels and coilovers on it.

The Lexus will now be up for sale since the TC is here in the states. With me being only 20 years old and paying full coverage with 2 accidents on my record (one being the civic incident), you can imagine I'm getting screwed on insurance Lol So therefore i decided to lease a scion!

Once i get it, the first thing going on is wheels and coilovers so be on the lookout!


Thanks!

Ehhh, technically no. I'm not supposed to do anything to the vehicle since its owned by toyota, but then again no one really checks. I plan on keeping all the stock parts (which will only be suspension and wheels) and then put them back on when it comes time to turn it back in, unless i buy it from them
