See, when I get the ribbing at work, I don't care either, but part of me gets pi$$ed too.
Dropping a ton of money on a car is not smart, unless it's an investment car, and those you don't use as daily drivers, even in LA.

I appreciate building a cool ride - I've had a few in my day.
But...a Scion is not an investment that will pay off financially.
Look at the threads on the "twins" tCs up on ebay.
Those are nice cars, but will never get the money back they invested.
Don't read something into my statements that are NOT there.
I appreciate a lot of the rides here - they're cool.
I bought a tC for the same reasons - it's a great car to start, and cool for the money.
Do you get what I'm saying???
If you take YOUR statement about not buying cheap rims and apply it to cars, there's a lot of folks driving really killer (expensive) rides that would say the same to YOU about the tC being a cheap car.
So...think before you slam someone for not spending $3k on freakin' rims for a tC.

Maybe a tC isn't something you would invest in....but for some people like playinwithfire and others like me a tC is a car we would invest....please don't knock us because we don't judge your life....
Also investing in ANY car isn't a smart investment....but the reason we do it because we like to be different.......

I agree that people shouldn't judge anyone on how you spend your money...If I had 3k for some rims and tires....my car would have new rims and tires...or some other useless part I want...
Also...I agree with playinwithfire....the more money you spent the better quality you get...

What's truly funny about all your replies is that you say "quit bashing us" and you're the one that started it with your remarks about the pix and them being cheap knockoffs...
Lord, it's a one-way street with some of you.
Now the horse is dead, SJ.
