I found out about the color changing climate control like 3 months after i got it. Just now found out what social seating is. And it took 2 years for scion to realize that if the radio has a cover put controls on the steering wheel. 04 and 05 don't have that. Tabs in the hatch fall off easily.
The shopping bag hooks in the rear cabin is handy for groceries.

Also, to be comfortable with the clutch pedal, I have to move my seat up much more than I did when I drove slushies (duh). This makes getting out really hard, especially with my long legs... I have to always slide out backwards and to the side... anyways, a weird way, because 1) I can't open the door enough usually and 2) the steering column gets in the way.
Oh well, its something I can live with, I guess. I'm not complaining too much. Once I find and buy some of those door edge guard thingies, I think it'll become a little easier

p.s. This is the best thread ever.

o yea, i forgot, you only get a limited time to enter your custom message, after time is up, the cursor dissappears, you just have to repeat the steps and the cursor will appear where you left off so you can continue your text.

I found out tC owners bicker with each other like little girls. They are much like Honda owners in that they constantly look down on everyone else because they think their car is the ****.

Some xb drivers I find are haters when they see a tC. I was trying to merge in the freeway and this pile of crap box wouldn't let me in. He tried to accelerate to prevent me from getting in. I punched the throttle and left him behind and moved in his lane
Once we were going like 70 (he was pathetically trying to tailgate me), I braked hard to like 30, ____ed him off... I saw him yelling gunned the throttle again, and again he tried to catch me and he got smaller and smaller from my rear view mirror. I'm surprised his engine didn't explode from working it that hard
