 Posted: Mon Apr 03, 2006 9:48 pm Post subject: So ... awhile back I traded my little car in... |
 |
|
was a great little car, but no longer something I wanted to have... but it always looked nice, I regret nothing with the car and I got a fair deal on the trade in.
However... In the mean time, I'm driving... this...
I hate waiting for cars to get shipped from somewhere, but I wanted to keep the miles low on it and didn't care to drive it from WA to TX ...
I feel so dirty 
but I must wait...
I hate waiting... I want my car now, not later.
but I feel I've gotten a good deal, waiting be damned.
this post was more or less to whore some pictures

Like I said; nice looking yota, not nice lookig furd.
That tC should be rear wheel drive. Then it'd be really fun. I wonder if an Mr2 drivetrain would fit in that...
I can't tell, trunk or hatch? Looks like trunk... |

I know... man this car is great!!!
at sucking
and at having terrible mileage
and at being an automatic pos
and at turning like a ford
and at pretty much everything else...
notice even the picture quality wasn't worth taking my time with... 
this car makes me feel nasty... the volume on the cd player is limited and won't hurt anyones ears even... its sad and makes me want to puke

if it were rear wheel drive, I don't think I'd have gotten rid of it... though people are doing many a thing with the tC...
its a hatch back, roof is all glass (panoramic moon roof front to back) and it comes stock with more things than most cars even have options for (pioneer MP3 head unit being one, ac, tilt, power everything, auto off headlights, keyless entry, etc etc etc) for a great cost...
car would definitely benefit from subframe connectors though, but its a pretty light car even with all the glass...2900 pounds with a full tank, spare, etc ... i was surprised with that.
but, i needed a real car again, and though it'd be great if it were a RWD car, I don't think I'd like the 4cyl... but there are always turbochargers for that

A turbo in those make them dan quick! You should consider it! those small cars can get a suprisingly fast for semi-cheap. Looks good!

i can't argue that modifying the tC's make them very quick cars...
however, my wanting to trade it in was for a few reasons.
in the city, I can get at a minimum the same gas mileage, and even better on the highway
the 5 speeds in the car are pretty nice, short throw, etc... but when it comes down to it, the way the scion is geared, it could use a 6th gear, which is another reason why I got the car I did now...
also, I don't care for front wheel drive cars when it comes to modifying... I kept the scion basically stock aside from the wheels... its much more fun to have a car that can benefit a lot more from modifying it.
I will miss it though, because it was something that meant a lot.... but its time has come and gone, and I've moved on
