really? are you sure your clearly remember something that happened such a long time ago? i think passage of time has blunted the traumatic experience that truly took place on that night so long long ago...

almost bought an xrs when i was looking for a used tC. it was the one with the 1.8L celica engine and 6sp tranny...very tempting...overall style didnt fit me, and i heard that the car made LOTS of noise with the engine since it was intended for a milder one...i think the new xrs has the same engine as the tC...i think....and its 4dr...but its prolly a lil smaller too... it'd be a hard choice for me between a new xrs and a tc....i'd prolly still go with a tC b/c of all the lil things...

oh maybe check out insurance rates, and if they are in favor of your decision show her that.

1. scions are extremly safe... high safety ratings

2. scions are not guy cars, i see many girls driving them

3. a base scion tC is much more inexpensive than a corolla xrs

4. scions have much more features than a corolla

5. Scions are unique, rarely will you find 2 scions exactly the same

6. scions are a way to express yourself

7. there are many events open to strictly scion owners, for example scion exposed last year

8. Scions just kick ___ ^_^

9. and my personal favorite "When Honda's Sleep, They Dream of Being Scion's"

I think you mom wants a "boring car" instead of "sporty car."
Tons of girls drive tc.
There was even a guy on SL got ____ off so bad, because his cowork keep teasing about his "girly Azure Pearl tc"

1.)ive never heard any car be called a girl car more than the tc.
2.)its really safe, 7 standard airbags.
3.) fixed pricing so the dealer wont screw you over
4.)very reliable engine
5.) comes pretty loaded stock considering how cheap it is
6.)if she co-signs but you are put as the dependent on the account, you can get her insterest rate, and also build your credit at the same time

go to any dealership and theyll pretty much tell you all of that, if the salesman is any good your mom will leave convinced, thats their job...



o yea and
7.) TcPete FTMFW!!!!
lmao.

lol, more and more girls are driving the tc's. most of them are not modded, thats pretty much how the boys set themselves apart. get a white or cherry one. that way it wont be a "boy" color. our tc isnt the safest car in the world in fact i think in its class its one of the unsafest, i could be wrong though, but there is a ton of value and it can be easy on gas depending on how you drive.

Sorry boys.

I'm going to go ahead and speak for the forum here and ask you to post up pictures of yourself.

Only so we could decide wether the Tc would compliment your appearence or not.
