yeah.. i'm from san jose.

well.. you see... those TYCs.. are the original ones... they have been out for a very long time.. that's why...

the TYCs on the RS3 are just redesigned ones made specifically for that car...

along with any other RS exclusive items.. it will not only be hard to obtain... but are very expensive as well.... they do that on purpose to maintain the exclusiveness.

actually pretty much.. i live a few blocks away from evergreen valley high school.... up quimby right by mt. hamilton.

as far as what is expensive? any RS part is marked up insanely high...

i wouldn't be surprised if those taillights were like $400-500.. in addition to needing a VIN to order them.

well... you can always hope.

either way wouldn't you slow down if you were driving behind someone who was pumping their brakes, or was slowing down to make a turn?

I'm pretty sure the point of Scion isn't for profit but to gain customers for Toyota. I think Scion was created so that when the Young generation grows up and has a family they'll buy a Toyota. That's what I heard at least. Seems to work pretty well. My parents are getting a Camry partly because they liked my tC and how peppy it is for a 4.

Usually it's the lane change on the the freeway where I can't see the other tail light because in LA traffic everyone is glued to everyone elses license plate.

This is the scenario that gets to me the most.

It's not hard to see that someone is slowing to turn even, but with Los Angeles drivers, it's best to make their intentions hyper-obvious.

I've been searching but this is a forum, I apologize if the same questions appear over and over. I don't see a sticky for it so it must not be a question that is asked so often where you need to PMS over it.

Are you really a super mod? Almost everything that I read from you is pretty harsh.

I mean honestly, with how you come off do you expect to expand member base?

He's not being harsh, you do need to use the search feature.

Search TYC and you'll find quite a lot of threads.........

if you find me harsh... you wouldn't like how the regular members would treat you.

i do and say what i need to to keep things orderly... even if they do tend to come out a little harsh sometimes... it does help keep others from crossing the line most times.
