Default lil_will's tC is TOTALED!

So I finally got word from GEICO that my car is in fact totaled. GEICO is going to give me $14,700 for the car. Not bad for an 05 with 50K miles. I am going to have the car towed to my house so I can get all of the aftermarket stuff off of it.

Now the hard part begins... what to replace it with. At first I was thinking maybe an STI or G37 but now I am seriously considering getting a newer tC. If I get the tC than I will be able to get a new Tundra when I get back from Iraq. Plus I already have a lot of parts for a tC lol.

MS3. G37 would be rough considering you have a family right? STI wouldn't be bad, but those are mad uncomfortable.

I have a son which is the main drawback of the G37. I would have plenty of room with the STI, 4 doors FTW. I have wanted a truck for a while though and the only way I could afford to get one would be to get the tC. I don't want the truck to be my only mode of transportation!

definately man, i just got off the phone with both my buddy at the dealer so i might go Thrusday instead. and then i called Geoff at Nurspec and he gave me the good news that JIC already has Coil overs and a Titanium exhaust out for it that takes off more then half of the weight of the stock exhaust! so i might be able to get you a pre JIC and a post JIC

The practicality of having a coup and a truck is great, although it would be hard to pass up an sti.
