Cynce Tester's Project "Her tC"
Published: Monday, April 23, 2007
Writer: Thanh Phan
Being apart of this scene and seeing all the vehicles across the nation you learn to tell the difference between the cars that were built with an end goal in mind and the ones that were pieced together to completion. Both can result in amazing results and both can create such monstrosities we won't discuss here today. Usually at the events I'm so lit with NOS energy drinks that I'm running around the venue with my head chopped off. But at Night Shift Pomona 1 vehicle literally stopped me at my tracks. What made it more impressive was when I reached out several days after the event, I found out the car was owned by Cynce Tester, a young tuner representing for the girls of Scion. As we exchanged more info I'm even more impressed that this car is seriously personalized with the utmost detailed precision. I mean, matching stars throughout the body, seats, and interior to match her star print tattoo's? who does that?
Before Cynce could even walk she was spending her Saturday nights with her dad out at the local race track. The daughter of Burt Tester, a mechanic w/ over 30 years of experience, cars was a staple in the Tester house... Cynce's vehicle of choice? The Scion!... You know, I'm going to get a bit side tracked here, but the whole Scion lifestyle really is quite amazing. Now, when I say "lifestyle" i literally mean it. That ScionLife group is so involved in the community it really creates not only a board of fellow enthusiasts but it creates a family environment where everyone helps one another with advice and modifications. So when Scion released the tC, Cynce quickly got hers and thus began project "Her tC."

It still hasnt hit the dyno. Full time work and finals coming up at school have had me wishing there were more hours in the day. The tC has taken the back seat for a little while. Should have numbers before HIN San Diego, though.

I've had a lot of awesome help from a lot of generous companies - but I actually had a second full time job for almost a year to finance the actual build. We all know car modding is not an inexpensive hobby. ;)

Gods help you if you ever gets busted by the popo.
"Ma'am, are you aware that your engine modifications are illegal in CA?"
"No officer, I had no idea. My dad / boyfriend / etc. did all the modifications. Are you sure? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say."
"Well ma'am, I'm afraid you're going to have have all these modifications removed and then take your car to a referee to re-certify it"

You're kidding right? Does she have a "show car" permit on her ride? I think there's a permit in CA saying a car is "for show only" which limits the yearly mileage and some other random stuff I can't remember. I guess if she only drives it during the day, I guess she wouldn't ____ the cops off as much. Hopefully she just doesn't get an a$$hole cop who specifically targets modfied vehicles.

I have the fail-safe method out of any ticket....
... ***** ;)
Kidding! Honestly, I've never been hassled by cops before. I've gotten several thumbs up, though. I drive like an old granny so I don't really give cops the option of singling me out.
