When...

You have a nice shiny car that you spent alot of money working on to make a sweet DD but you end up driving a 1996 Buick Regal or a 2004 GMC everyday and get to use the shiny car maybe once every other month.

You know you own a tc when your wife owns another tc and has never done anything to it but once you start buying new stuff for your car all of a sudden she wants to start buying parts for her car 2

^^ have to agree with that one. I use my old Jeep as a DD and the tC only comes out of the garage on nice sunny days or nice evenings. Which has added up to a whopping 7K since I bought her new in 08.

Mine pretty much lives in the garage all winter with little to no driving, at least once the salt hits the roads. Drive the trusty Saturn SC1 during that time.. gets great mileage to boot!

interesting how so many of us here have separate DDs and keep our Scions in the safety of the garage during winter or bad weather.

There isn't much left of my Scion... It's pretty much all Dezod, AEM, Turbonetics, VIS, and PPG, lol.

I attempt to DD it but I have really really bad luck. It is always good to keep a spare vehicle around. I guess now I am gonna start riding my bike to keep the tC fresh.

Well... I'm just retentive when it comes to my baby... roll her out of the garage 2 weeks ago... hand washed and clay bared and back into the garage. today was the first time I've had her out to actually drive in probably 3-4 weeks. Because there was a little break in the weather where all the roads are dry....until the next snow storm due in a few days from now.

Well I took good care of my last tc I bought new as well which I DD'd and in 3 yrs I had put 60K on it. so when I sold that one and bought another brand new one...this time my 08 tc.... I bought a Jeep to use as a DD so I could keep the miles off of this one and keep it in the garage to mod and bring out on nice days in the winter and drive for the summer.

For me it is not as much that the tC is some super luxurious car.. but it is my newest car out of the 3 we own... and I happen to still have the previous car, which has a mostly plastic body (great for salt), narrower tires and weights 2300 or so lbs, so it does great in the snow and gets good mileage. So I figure why not put the extra winter miles on that rather than the newer one The wife drives the 4Runner. The tC gets driven a lot in the summer and is the autox toy.

You know you own a TC when you have to hit the unlock key a couple of times bc the rear hatch wont unlock on the first try...

Which is because you are supposed to hit the unlock button once to unlock the drivers door, twice to unlock the passenger and hatch... like most other cars with keyless entry
