You and me both.

Just two days ago i had a chevy s 10 rideing my ___. Going down the road at about 50 waiting for the double lane to open up so i could just take off, i drop to 3rd all the sudden i'm in a three car little race with a civic and a jetta. Of coarse the jetta couldn't even keep up. We get to the next light the civic and jetta turn right, the s10 is lost, and out of no where a Hayabusa comes screamng past me at the light. I had no idea that going a little fast would attract so much attention

When I was changing my oil , this dude asked me why did I put a turbo on a scion. I said because I want to.

One time when my crew and I was leaving from a meet at Wendys I heard some dude saying scions suck and another dude said we all should get scions in a smart way. I stop my car, I got out and said repeat that again. they said nice car. My friends that are scion owners and my friends that are not scion owners(My other friends own SRT- 4, RSX-S and GTI) Wanted to beat those dudes a$$ but since they punk out we didn't do anything.

i cant say anything because i yell at scions all the time and tell them they are losers

I think I'm going to start suckering people into racing me by telling them I have a Supercharger....(no offense S/C owners).
I still have supercharger decal on my tC. lol

Hah, I constantly get ricers in civics and sunfires and such doing the "fly-by," they hear my exhaust and assume that I want to race them

I also had the experience of having an A-hole in a Rustang GT want to race me, he kept slowing down and speeding up next to me, before finally flooring it. Wow, your V-8 is faster than my 4-cylinder...loser. It really is a shame that my car isn't boosted, I'd love to show up someone like that

Sadly though the biggest A-hole who tried to race me was in another tC...that jerkoff just about ran me off the road (in traffic!) trying to egg me on.

sometimes when i go to large public parking lots like the parking lots at the movie theater or shopping centers, i alllllways get guys whipping out they're camera phones and snapping video or pictures of my car because of the turbo kit, last night i got out of my car and the entire time i was waiting for these guys to get out of there parking spot, this chinese guy was just taping my car like walking around like the paparazzi...

i mean, i ignored him and i didnt say anything to him and kept my windows rolled up cause i didnt want him to tape any of the electronics on the inside or anything....

once i got out of the car, he was like - DUDE your car is the first scion iv'e seen boosted dude it look tough" " what are your numbers" then he kept asking question while i was walking in with my GF into the restaurant... she likes the attention... but she doesnt like how much time i spend messing with the car adding stuff ETC...

meh that's my story ..

CONVERSATION:
TL: you wanna launch the car ?
Me: Are you serious?
TL: I have 3 buddy's in the car and full tank
Me: and a 100 more horses ?
TL; silence...
Me: Tell me i'm lying ?!
TL: yeah true But maybe you are S/Charged ..
Me: have a good night...
