good luck with your sale man... im really sad to see such a nice guy go and leave the scion world... i agree with you on alot of making us look bad but remember theres always a few us who dont care and always make up for the fail crowrd..

stay in touch!! lol. cuz i would love to hit you up down the road for some drinks and racing after a night at pbir!

but if you could sell and make some money that would be great.. but IMO i'd stick around a while cuz we need all the fast cars we can get lol

i've ha ve gotten your motor if if you would part out and did this 2 weeks ago when i blew my stock one.
Good lukc with whatever you decide man. I would just keep the tC as a daily driver and get the lotus as weekend car.
Thats what i'm looking to do but actually different order i wanna built and keep the tC for weekends and get something luxury next year for everyday.

Yuh I say to keep the Tc as a toy and get a luxury car or suv all depends on your plans of a new vehicle.

well, i mean, the journey is fun, i know i've enjoyed every part i've added to my tc, bu i just couldn't stand spending all that time and money just to sell it and start over again. i could see myself keeping the tc, and buying another car to start working on, but really never leaving it unless something most unfortunate happened.

Alright, I don't know you, so don't take this personally, but whenever I hear that statement by anybody, I always thinking it's the dumbest thing ever. What does "It's still a Scion/mustang/honda/etc mean?" That makes no sense.

Every car is essentially the same thing made out of virtually the same materials. The differences come in weight, electronics, and how much stuff is added or taken away to serve the car's purpose. The moment you begin adding or taking away things from a stock car, it's no longer just a stock car...

Whenever I beat a car that costs THOUSANDS more than my little econo tC, I ALWAYS hear people say, "well it's still just a scion!". So you're telling me that you're cooler than me because you spent 30-40k more to go SLOWER and for some leather seats and cheap badge on the trunk? Who looks more stupid?

I drive my car for MYSELF. I don't care what other people do with their scions, and I don't care if every other owner is a complete douche. EVERY car brand has an image, and most high performance cars have the worst. Who cares? IMO, this is the stupidest reason to sell a car, or not buy a car.

I was thinking the exact same thing lol. That's completely unpractical. Might as well get a shifter kart...

If you're selling your track tC to go with a Lotus, that's a great decision. But Daily driver?

yeah, dude, no matter car you drive, you know there is already a video on youtube of some dumb@$$ screwing around with it and crashing, stalling or whatever. so what? every car is just a car with some good drivers and some spoiled rich douchebags or spoiled brat kids who drive them.

it doesn't matter what everybody thinks, people probably find my cf hood and epically loud exhaust in bad taste, but i love my scion, and i still drive my car properly on the road.

just cuz i saw a busted up silver tc infront of me cuz the driver probably doesn't know how to drive doesn't mean i should sell my car for something.

Unfortunately those aren't street legal, nor safe in traffic, else I'd drive one to work.

Get the Elise!

You put alot of work into your ride I think you should hold on to it. I know you haven't run some of the really fast cars in this town yet. If you really want to move on do it but most cars are the same except for drivetain and the motors. One question is the elise gonna be a daily driver because it's not really practical you know. Anyway goodluck dude hit me up when you make a choice.

WHAT?!!??!?! Keep dreaming. Cynce didn't even get close to that much for her car. Don't know who she is? Look up the username scandalous.

I doubt I'd get anymore than $20k for my car & thats less than just the retail value of my seats, brakes, turbo, wheels & tires, that's it.
