Hey guys just registered glad to find a place where I can find out more info about my new TC got a 2011 cement gray manual, love the car and hoping to eventually make it more me, hence coming here look forward to chatting with you folks in the times ahead

 

congrats witht he new tc. and welcome!

 

Welcome!!

 

Im sorry in advance for the amount of money and time you are going to spend on this car. That is, if you catch the addiction like the rest of us have......

 

hey, maybe he will use this forum and find all the cheap alternatives we come up with

 

yeah dude you're ____ed!

I did not buy this car to "mod" it or spend hours on forums......... and look at me now, Im on Scionlife or researching Scion related stuff that I dont even have time for facebook or youtube

 

X2!

 

^^^ This

 

Welcome to the cult.

 

Lol thanks for the welcomes, Its a long story as to why I bought a scion but, parts aren't as readily available for mods up here in Canada so for now I'm safe but I can see me being a little bit poorer after they realize that Canadians love modding too

 

number 1 rule: Never go to any car shows or meets lol

They will provoke you to spend more $$$ on your car and your inner ego, however little it may be, will still want to show something off at the next one.

Just buy '99 corolla and get rid of the scion now!

And it doesn't matter how poor or rich you are because every time you get paid on that joyful Thursday or Friday - you will be thinking how much cash is left after you pay your rent and what car stuff you can buy with it

 

don't like corollas, in my town being close to the Toyota plant that makes them there are just way too many, and I like being different lol but i'll also be in the market soon for a motorcycle too so that should keep my mods to a minimum for now

 

^ Listen to the new guy! I remember those first few weeks of owning my tC. "Oh no! Dont worry about me. I have too many other things to spend my money on to do much modding."

Enjoy the honeymoon, cdnguy1980. For as soon as the honeymoon is over, just like a wife, she'll take all your money!

 

lol honeymoon, might as well be cant seem to find any real woman to stay with me lol

 

^damn right... even my gf sometimes get mad at me. because of this forum... :D
and i dont even go to a car shows/meet, but this forum makes me mod my tc2 more and more... :D nyways, welcome...

 

Yes another cement owner!! Welcome!

 

do what i did...i had a crappy car before because i was focused on saving $..for school/future. but now that school is done, i have $, and my old car died...i told her how it was always my dream to fix up a car but i never could because of money/school and my car also sucked....but now with my parents putting a big down on the tC2 (she also loved the tC1 but never got it by the way) this is my chance now...and now everything is gravy!

all i have to do is spreadout my purchases, like only 1 major purchase a month and still spend time with her. so i go for sponsorships (something, if lucky, you can find at car meets) to get free stuff and then buy small thing every so often and a big purcahse once in a while. then when i get parts...i get her to help me install so we spend time together

she helped me paint my emblems, install my descendant intake, today she will help me paint my calipers, and she goes with me to car meets/sponsor's shops for test fits

 

Lmao it's like you read my mind damn I thought I was the only one who does this!!!

 

So true!
