The other day I was on the freeway and an xB caught up to me. Looked over and nod and they did the same. Lost them on traffic though. Notha from xA or another tC yet
I used to see a lot of Scions with my old car...now that I got the tC...where they at :?

Just got back from a joy ride.

Saw a white tC with optional 18's and lip kit. Looked great. I drove past with 2 little honks. They did the same. Thought it was pretty cool.
Funny thing is that was my friends sister.

ive seen only one tC while in my car. And the person driving it looked really shady. So I quickly looked away and drove faster. LOL.

I saw an xA on the highway and tried to chase it for fun, but I was still breaking in the new engine, so I basically lost the chase against a lawnmower powered car

Truckers turn their running lights off and on again to let a truck ahead of them know they're going to pass, then the one who got passed does it to let the passing truck know they're clear to get back into the right lane. They almost never do headlights, but when they do, it's off/on, not hi/lo.

Nobody ever does the "cops are nearby" thing anymore. Maybe truckers, but I've never ever seen them do it.

Any tC owners I see are girls and they seem pretty ____ed that they're not the only tC rolling around in town although I was the first one. Plus they're automatic and the guys that drive the 5spd tCs can't drive the car if their lives depended on it. Its really sad.

But, as for when I'm driving my 67 Bug, I get a lot of head nods from other VW owners.

The tC is like the good-looking brother who doesn't want to acknowledge his dorky sibling [scion box] around his group of friends. ...

The true car lover is the one who waves back. I hate stuck up people.

i usually high beam the other tC. The other day, a girl was driving the opposite way, when our cars got closer to each other, she just smiled and I yelled "hi." The other time I saw a flint mica (just like mine) we raced to 50mph. He had exhaust and a stick so he had an advantage, but cool guy nevertheless.
