good reasoning there. I knew you weren't street-racing when I made my above comment, but, then you came out with this comment on racing the dork in the Corolla with only the exhaust header! Try to let these morons go when they want to race you. Just let 'em go ahead...seriously. I just don't feel the need to race people, never have. I did do my stupid thing when I was 16. My buddy and I were supposed to be at the high-school basketball game, instead, we took my Dad's '66 VW Fastback in baby blue and 4-speed tranny out to cruise around in. It started snowing and there was about an inch or two on the ground. I pulled in to a furniture lot that was empty. I remember saying to my friend, "Hey, watch this!" I floored it on the snow-surfaced parking lot. I was slipping and sliding all over...for only about a minute...then the VW Fastback started heading towards a landscaped area, with large boulders. Oh-oh....I hit the brakes of all the dumb things to do. Slam! Right in to and on to a huge boulder, the '66 Fastback tried to climb up one, only it smashed the VW's front end up pretty good. We hit our heads on the ceiling of the car and the tinny horn piece broke off of the steering wheel and cut my wrist. It was bleeding pretty good...my friend literally tore the shirt off his back and tied it around my bleeding wrist...stopped it right up. We were in pretty good shape. His house was about 3 or 4 blocks away so we walked to his house. Later at home I was expecting my Dad to tear in to me about it, but he never did. Just had it towed to a bodyshop and fixed. I never forgot doing that at 16, and that incident melded me in to a person who drives careful and..ummm...level-headed. Not slow per se, just level-headed.

Only takes one hit...life is over. I probably lost good business friend because she heard my mileage and thinks I race the poor car every minute. Or she lectured me about putting mileage on my old xA and now I put 100k on my tC so I didn't listen. See Bullitt's sale consultant treated me differently. I made mistake telling her I lost my mother at the age of 13. She took it upon herself to lecture the crap out of me life if she was my mother. Might of gotten her in trouble. I don't know. Here's a person who works in a field, its hard to trust anyone. And we respected each other which I gave her trust. I really don't know. lol Couple times we seen each other at the dealer; we kind of don't say a word, just stare. I don't race the car. I put million miles on my poor tC because I live difficult life: I work nights, I barely go out and hang out with people my age. All I do is sleep, eat, work, and enjoy owning a Scion tC. I've been going through some hard stuff (Personal Finances) within the past year and my poor tC has been my freedom. What I really would like to do is...go back working days. Play on my old women's softball teams; then hit the bar with them after. Take my dog out to places. Sleep nights. Go to a job that I can't wait to wake up again and do it all over again. |

Thinking about getting an 06 tC. I know they have Side Curtains as options. Does anyone know how to tell if the car has them or not just in case the dealer starts BSing? Also, on the 06, the Aux Jack is standard right? -Cj

Replying to: autoboy16 (Sep 08, 2008 8:34 pm) Yes Aux jack is standard. The plug in is located in the arm rest. |

 That's what a stock exhaust header looks like without a heatshield. Other than that, car is pushing 105k...doesn't even looks like it Then of course everytime I see my sister's BF's Mustang; I always think Scion tC is the modern "Baby Boomer's" Mustang. If that makes any sense? lol "Power for a great price." He has original papers for the Mustang. For what I paid in accessories is what the original price tag for his '65 Mustang GT 350! $3,500!
