"You know when you have a tC...When you take your older brother's '08 GTS Lancer for a ride when he's in Florida. And you crank up the music to the max to your favorite song; you are able to speak over the stereo."
His fancy almost $3k Nav-HDD sound system only goes up to volume "50!"

You know when you have a tC...when your Dad "claims" its sports car since hes comparing it to his '94 Camaro.
You know when you have a tc...when your insurance company claims it as "Economical" and gives you very low rate even with few tickets under your belt.

I don't know if these have been brought up......... but..........
-After 4 years of production, people still ask what kind of car it is.
-After you respond by saying, "Scion tC," they look puzzled, and you eventually give in and say it's a Toyota.
-You know what IIP, NBM, CSM, SW, FM, BSP, BCP, RS1, RS2, etc. stands for.
-You spot an s2k and feel tempted to take it.
-You are STILL impressed with the way the heater control changes color as you turn it.
-You turn up the stereo really loud and shut the cover before someone gets in your car so that you can be cool and flip the cover back open when they ask you to turn it down.
-You have to keep saying "No, the back sunroof doesn't open."
-People ask if it is one of those hybrid cars.
-People constantly say "I'll bet that thing gets good gas mileage."
-You know how crappy Potenzas really are.
-You have to keep saying "NO!!! It's NOT the box!"
-You have rattles fresh off the dealer lot.
-You talk to a Lexus salesman and he asks what kind of car it is....You just shake your head and walk away.
-You have to yell at people not to slam your damn door (this causes more damn rattles).
-Double parking is the only way you park.
-Your friends comment on how small the car looks but fall asleep in the back seat before ending the sentence.
-There are more mods out for your car than you can keep up with.
-You drive a Japanese car that isn't even sold in Japan.
-You hate people who push the radio cover too hard.
-You think 17s should come stock on everything.
-Your passenger goes "Will this all fit?" before you put down the back seats.
-You look at other cars and say "Yeah, the tC inspired that design" even if the car came out before Scion existed.
-You drive to every damn Walmart to look for the robo-tech Scion tC toy and get your hopes down because they don't have it.
-You have two spair LEDs, so you think about adding them to your cup holders.
-You figure out two years later that there is a sensor on the passenger side that turns off the passenger seatbelt.
-You get dirty looks from old ladies out walking because your car whistled at them.
-You don't have to turn off your headlights when you get out.
-You hear "Is that turbocharged?" any time someone new rides in it.
-Your sunroof doesn't always want to shut.
-It seems like most of your third brake light is missing.
-Your tC looks like a 4x4 unless it's significantly lowered.
-People ask you to pronounce 'Scion.'
-You spend more time on your tC than you do with your significant other.
-You hate the fact that your seats aren't motorized.
-You like to park your car outside on your sloped driveway because if you look at your car from the peak point, wheel gap is eliminated.
-You get pulled over and the cop writes 'Toyota Scion' for make and model on your ticket.
-You are too familiar with the phrase, "I don't need it, but..."
-You see a tC in a parking lot and think its uber cool to park next to it.
-You wonder where your money has gone since you got it.
-You constantly think of things you want to do to it.
-Your hood somehow fits in the back of you car.
-You're afraid to open the sunroof at higher speeds, thinking it might explode.
-You wave at other Scion owners and get snubbed.
-You try to choose which color to stop your radio on but can't make up your mind, so you put it on the mixer.
-You unlock your car and your friend says, "Wow, your car has turn signals on the side mirrors... Those are usually only on BMWs, Benz, etc..." and you reply, "I know."
-You try to take a picture really fast when you turn on the car and the gauges sweep to try to "prove" that you have had your car over 127.
-You can do every mod in the world to your car and the coolest thing to people is the keyless entry on the key.
-You can have the car from whole to gutted in under 20 minutes (like Lego blocks).
-You've sat there cleaning your dash and wondered "What is this supposed to look like? Petrified wood?"
-You gain a sixth sense about what vehicle will toss what rock into you.
-...Your sixth sense fails and you hear the rock/pebble hit and suddenly you're very sad.
-You get into your friends car and wonder why the seat belt beep isn't sounding off as you drive away.
-Anyone who has never been in your car asks "Does this thing ever shut up?" (seat belt).
-You drive another car and wonder why the passenger window doesn't go down all the way down like yours does.
-You know down deep that a BMW 5series sedan is just the four-door version of your car.
-You program the head unit to display certain text whenever you first turn on the car.
-You wash your tC and open the hatch and water flows from the heavens, drenching your back seats and freshly dried rear fenders.
-You know all your friends by their SL names, and sometimes forget their real ones.
-You look forward to driving to Costco because all the stuff you buy and put in your trunk makes your car look like it's sitting on S-Tech's.
-You drop change (or anything else) under your seat, and when you go to grab it, you get that greasy ____ from the sliders all over your hand.
-You wash just your windows and suddenly half of your car is clean.
-You buy the XMOD tC for the sole intent to repaint it your color.
-You worry about getting your antenna jacked.
-You have carpal tunnel in your thumb from using the steering wheel controls too much.
