Default Introducing myself. (56k grab lunch)

Hello everyone, I am a former Scion tc owner from souther California, I first bought my tc back in 2005, I was actually one of the first in SoCal to make the purchase, according to my dealership I was part of the first 25 people to own the car.

I absolutely LOVED it!! It was a Indigo Ink Pearl (i think thats the 05 blue?) 5 speed, with a 6 disk cd changer.

Unfortunately i was in an accident which totaled my car. (I swerved from a motorcycle in my blind spot and rolled in to a small ditch)









I was fine, and nobody got hurt.
The car is gone and now i have a 2005 Acura TSX, i'm satisfied with the car but miss the manual tranny.






well, thats me. I hope to meet new people and possibly buy another tc as a project car.

(i also have tons of parts for sale, but i cant seem to be allowed to post in this forum's classifieds)





(moderators if this is in the wrong section i apologize, please move if necessary)

those were 19" Kyowa KR206 in Hyper silver (lowered with TRD springs) there on my TSX now as you can see. Thank you for the welcome.

i hope to post the parts in the forum marketplace, but i cant, yet, due to regulations

I have a K&N CAI (silver) in box, the gauges with pillar you see in the picture and an OBX exhaust. And a DC sports front mount strut bar which has a few stains on them I think it was battery fluid not sure. prices later, and local pickup gets priority, dont want to deal with shipping but well see.

TSX FTW! I love taking that car on the drives outta town. It's hard to drive the tC afterwards.

Sorry to hear about your tC. Glad you were ok and not hurt seriously.

P.S. You need 50 posts before you can post in the classifieds. Kinda sucks but keeps people from trying 'to make a quick buck'. (If you know what I mean. )

thanks gentlemen, the tsx definitely put a nice hole in the wallet but being able to afford it was due to the tc's great resale value.

(could someone link me to this forum's gallery? i cant seem to find it)

I have his missing leather, and your missing pedal.
Welcome. There's still plenty to discuss on these boards, even without a tC.
