Default Is the tC1 Community dead?

I don't see much if any activity anymore. Have all the enthusiasts just died out? I personally love my tC and the Scion line of cars in general.
I will never get rid of my car. I'll do whatever it takes to keep it going and pass it on to my son when he's old enough and responsible.

I was hoping to find other enthusiasts here but the forums seem to be full of looker's but hardly any activity. So that's why I'm asking.
Am I correct in assuming that the tC1 was just a phase for most if not all? I'd just like to see who still likes and enjoys the car.

I love my tC and the Scion brand. I hope to keep it forever if I can, unlike my first car that was totaled because someone decided to pull out from a stop sign and t-bone me. I do believe that the tC1 Community
is not as big as it once was as the aftermarket support is not what is used to be and with the Scion brand being killed off. While the tC may be slow, I think it is still fun to drive and I have future plans for it.

Nice! I would have to say that I'm a die hard Scion fan. tC1 specifically. I have Scion racing hats and shirts. Some DTA/Scion shirts and some regular Scion shirts.
Even mags, magazines and brochures. I have an original Owners Manual case that I take as much care of as my car since they're hard to find in good condition lol.

My future plans are the K1 Widebody, a complete engine rebuild with parts from Brian Crower, and forged rims.
I'm in contact with Work Wheels to get the specs I need and working on getting the kit from AIT.

Like you, I LOVE my car. Just wish there were more people to share it with and be able to appreciate others. :/

Pretty much Scionlife died, not what it use to be back in 2008-2010. A lot of Scion aftermarket businesses went out of business.
I still have my 2008 Scion tC and still love it to this day. Has about 156k miles, hasn't changed much for a few years but still keep it cleaned don't think I'll ever sell it.

A lot of old tC owners still have there's but most likely don't post as much since they have moved on to other cars and/or trucks.

I'm still rocking my 08 and love it. I'll never get rid of mine. I'll do whatever it takes to keep it going. I'm actually buying up every aftermarket item I can find.
Starting with the most rare. About to pick up an unused Turbonetics kit. I also have big plans for mine. 😁

Would just like to have more tC owners to interact with and get feedback from. 😕

I'm still rolling in my 06 tC. 14 years and going strong at 160k miles. I was planning on getting a new car this year but with everything going on. I'll stick with this car for a bit longer.

I might throw an Injen Short Ram as I have done little to no change to it. (besides the GReddy Evo 2 axel back and K&N drop in filter. Any how..night.

Default Still cruisin'

'05 here and still cruisin'. The end of the Scion brand basically caused participation to drop on all the models. But I love my tC and will keep her alive till the day I die.
303,000 miles and she's still rollin'. I just installed my second front lip after my first Evo lip broke off. I am ever-modding her and of course sometimes fixing her.

I check in here when I can and look around to see who I may be able to help. And to see what us diehards are still doing to our rides.

I like the wheels. Jealous man of the rear bumper lip. Looks like you got the Five Axis rear lip which I hope to find for my baby.
