Default That's not a Scion....

Okay so I missed a perfect opportunity in Wilmington a couple days ago, but you'll have to picture it in your head. I was pulling into the Chic-Fil-A parking lot and after parking, I noticed in my mirror what looked like some awfully familiar rims...when I got out, there was a Subaru Legacy in the drive thru line, maybe a '90 or '91-ish model, all beat up, dark red paint, and it had Scion rims on it!!! With brand new tires and everything! Idk, maybe it doesn't sound as funny reading it, but I wasn't able to get a pic at the moment.

commence conversation and potential flaming for not having pics...

It's pretty regular for 9thgen corolla and matrix guys to rock the tc wheels and obviously the prius guys too. I've also seen pics of suby's and vw's that have done this as well.

hehehe.. Now we know that there are better forums to post on when trying to sell the stock tC wheels. I bet they fetch a better price than on any other Scion forum.
