HEY GENIUSES
Maybe that IP address is the IP address for a large Japanese Car makers Headquarters. Just a thought that my “friend” told me about.
I could probelly have him take some pics of the veh.
My friend looked at it and said it did have power everything on it. It looked like it has been to some shows.

OK, OK
Here is a link to pics of the car. I am assuming it is a show
car, but would not be surprised to see some of this
stuff get into production. Scroll halfway down the page.
Scion did build this vehicle, not some tuner so cross your fingers.

Really? Well, at work, I am behind a firewall/router and on a private network. Same at home. So if I were to make an account, and a coworker were to make an account, they would show up as coming from the same IP address, wouldn't they? Otherwise, if you can see the IP of the actuall computer, and not the router, then a lot of people would most likely end up with a 192.168.x.xxx number, wouldn't they?

So how can you be sure that this is not someone from the same office behind a router?

You are pretty much correct except that no one can see (outside the network) 192.168.x.x etc because they are private IPs and thus not unique on the Internet. Duplicate IPs are evidence but not the deal clencher by any means.

As to the thread starter... for God's sake... please, stop with the incessant quotes. Your "friend". We get it. Stop. Please. ;)

The 3 pics halfway down the page. The only TC on there with an S/C and carbon fiber hood and trunk. They don’t really show it in these pics but the glass panels of the roof are all replaced with carbon fiber.

They could have replaced the three roof panels with carbon fiber and it could still open. I can't tell from the pics. I guess that car won't be at the Scion Exposed event in Philly this weekend, otherwise I would check and see.

Despite what is being said all over this thread, here's something interesting:

"Christian Rado, who has been MIA all year from drag racing, will return to the strip next year with breakthrough sponsorship from Pepsi.
Also expect Rado's long-awaited, outlawed-once, Pro FWD Celica to be rebodied as a Scion tC before its debut. Scion will be a Rado sponsor."

- Sport Compact Car, November 2004, page 50

That ought to be pretty exciting.
