Default Who bought my baby???

Yes sad but true however I had to sell the TC due to tuition and other stuff... She will definitely be missed and I'll miss all of you guys too As much flaming as I'm going to receive I went to the German side and got a 20th anniversary GTI... Lower insurance and payments and I got a kick ___ deal along with great trade in considering I had 53K miles on it and it had no warranty due to my whole engine fiasco Anywho I heard the dealership had already sold my car as a few people saw it ridin around town and I wanted to let the current owner know that I had a few parts for em Soooo yeah if anyone knows who bought it PM me...

P.S. My scion and all others will always be loved

Dope GTI. When I was buying my tC I was kinda stuck between a Golf and a tC. Definatly might consider getting a GTI when my tCs life with me comes to an end.

which bumper??? either case you could get them both from Viniati and the front bumper line up perfectly because it was urethane but the rear being fiberglass needed to typical adding and removing and molding of fiberglass to get the fit thats pictured above

U did all that work on the tC and then traded for a VW. Was it worth it?
I personally like that tC setup minus the pedestal spoiler.

^^^ I'd wouldn't mind paying more.
I'd pay a reasonable price just to keep my tC ownership.
I pay $80 a month

what size and brand rims are you running on the GTI?

Is the GTI much faster?

I like the GTI but the tc looks sooooooo much nicer , the M3 body kit looks sick.

Well good luck with her!

haha thanks guys as far as if it was worth it I think it was... I had too much invested in it and to be honest ever since Scion refused to warranty my motor it left a sour taste in my mouth But yeah the insurance is cheaper on the GTI because its a little older and has six air bags and factory alarm.... I liked my TC a lot don't get me wrong I miss her everytime I look at my computers desktop which is one of the pics above

19 x 8 Privat Netz and the GTI $hits on the TC lol... it really does its a lot faster, not saying the TC couldnt have gotten there but I just got tired of working on it and refixing everything.

Long story short of my ownership of my TC:
-Buy car - Fix TWO sunroofs
-Lower car and in the process ding my quarterpanel in my garage so I had to fix that because I'm **** retentive
- Install supercharger and ZPI pulley
- Install Axis Hiro 19" rims
- Some dumb broad decides to pull out in front of me in her blazer so I get in an accident so not only is my car not under warranty anymore it no longer has a clear title
- Blow engine and SC due to bad bearing in the # 3 cylinder so I was forced to sell rims and supercharger just to get the car back on the street
- Buy body kit and get it painted and installed
- Drunk _______ rear ends me leaving bar and I have to get the rear bumper pieced back together and repainted
- Bad snowstorm causes $1000 damage in body work



And that snow damage was the last straw I was fed up
