Haha..Yeah this car is the start of me attemptng to work on cars.

I've found that I can't imagine myself with any other car after I've driven the tC. I'm too attatched.

may be hard to belive but i dont care, my freind lives on a dirt road and he wanted to race my tc so i was like what the heck, i could actually launch faster and beat him by a good lengh, he has to much torque and his tires stay spinng on the dirt lmao.
so now i can say i beat a srt 4 on the lmfao dirt

Never expected low torque would pay off. Haha.
Deffinatly the tC has a smoother and suprisingly high top-end.

I was cruisen on the freeway and I look down at the speedo... "Wtf i'm doing 110"...
*Looks around*
"Eh what the hell"
*Floors it*

car could be faster.

its hard riding my car if you three of your good friends own WRX/STi

unless you do forced induction, i realized, its really pointless to mod the tc in that department.

best bang for you buck, unlike the srt-4, Tc has more style and quality.

wish the gas consumption was better like rsx base model. Even the Rsx-s has better gas mileage than our car. I guess its a "perk" to having more low end.

The limiter sucks, I can't cruise with the boys on the highway making that long journey back to miami on the Florida Turnpike.

naa, man, we're talking about the literal blind spot - meaning not through the mirrors, but when you actually look back there, or look to the sides "through" the A pillar. THose are some big butt blind spots, I agree!

I actually go out of my way so that I don't get in a situation where I have watch for traffic through my C-pillar blind spot. It's impossible, and you have to guess. How freakin dangerous is taht?!

When i go to close the sunroof, i have to let go of the close button and push it again to get to shut completely. Is there somethin wrong with it? Or is that the way it is?

Wiping the inside of the hatch with glass cleaning wipes is a PITA. But I just fold the seats down and lay on my back to do it. It's easy to "accidently" drop it in second from fifth.

I'll usually just open the hatch door, then climb inside the hatch and get to the glass that way. I think people think I'm crazy with how often I clean and wash the car, but whatever.
