Default Officially trading in the tC tomorrow. Im so sad.

=[

Some of you guys may remember me, I used to really browse these forums alot, but havent all summer. Im trading in my car tomorrow. Ive been through alot with this car in the 2 and a half years ive had it. Modified it, blessed it, taken it on road trips, everything. Its sad seeing it go, but the excitement of a new car is also great. My mom needed a new car, for the little driving she does, so I agreed to trade in my car for a new car as long as I had a good say in what to get. It was down to a TSX, Accord, and a Venza.

We got the Venza. Its an amazing car, and so far all the reviews on it are great. It fit our needs more than the other 2 cars (I preferred the TSX). My mom wanted a car with a lift gate (is that what you call it?) so she doesnt have to bend down and pull things in/out of a trunk like you would have to in an Accord or TSX. She wanted leather, and something really spacious. Needless to say, we went to Toyota today, I test drove the Venza V6, and she signed the paperwork right after. Its an amazing car, with ample room, and the leather with the black stitching is a nice touch. Unlike the Camry, the interior quality is amazing. Much better than the Accord in my opinion.

Tomorrow im trading in my car, getting a Metallic Grey AWD V6 Venza. We got the top of the line model, and were very happy with it. Im still sad that were trading in my car.

Thanks to scionlife for all the info ive gotten over the years, ive learned alot about the tC and alot of cars in general in these forums. The tC is a GREAT car, and ill miss it deeply.

I really like the venza, it would look sick lowered with some nice rims on it. lol If I had a family it would be a car that I would consider.

Good luck

The Venza is a good car man, I checked one out in the showroom a few months back. It may not be as fun as the tC, but if you look up some pictures of modded Venzas, they come out looking SICK.

Its a family car. We get alot more car for $31k than we do getting the TSX. That would just be me being selfish if I pushed her to get that car.

^ Bro I wish. I just have a feeling a modified Venza would look so sweet. A drop with some nice rims, now that would be nice. Theres a picture floating on the net of a gray Venza lowered with some mesh rims I believe. Looks pretty slick. But nah I cant modify this at all. Maybe some HIDs in the future, but thats it.

That is probably the most mature thing I have seen you write on SL and I am glad you wrote it.

Good luck with Venza. It would be high on my list if I had a family.
