hey guys wassup.. gotta give props to Toyota for coming out with the SCION TC. i like that car a lot for its class. i like the other scions too but i like the TC more.
anyways, i do not drive a TC or any scion...i will leave my car anonymous cause i am not here to start a war.
but everytime i encounter a scion TC i pull up next to the owner to give him a thumbs up or even tell them, "hey, nice cars" but i get no looks back and they just take off on me and they continue to speed away. now this happened with all the scion TCs taht i ran into. but i only met one down to earth driver at a car meet..and he knows where that car stands next to mine.
so, why are most scion TC drivers soo cocky? do you guys realize the TC is a nice car but not the quickest out there? hands down my car will take a TC easy....even when my car was in stock form i would take a TC easy. bottom line your cars do not compare to mine but the drivers i encountered seem like i am a threat or trying to race..i just want to give props and i am encouraging my little bro to get a scion TC as his first car.
sorry for the long post. but jsut know i like your cars but know where you stand and don't be soo cocky. but if i have to i'll shut out all those cocky drivers. by the waaay if you think that i am a neon SRT-4...sorry i love imports. enjoy
I tried to wave to other Scion owners but alot of times they don't see me. It becomes too much of an effort to keep up. It's easier to meet tC owners at Scion meets than on the road randomly. It can be a bit dangerous too if you distract them when they're getting used to the car.
Scion meets are the best place to meet owners and their cars.

Are you sure? Because the tC is on the Avensis chassis while the Celica has it's own chassis. The Celica will be discontinued here in the US but not in Japan. Maybe the new Celica in Japan will use the tC chassis, but that's Japan, not here in the US.

I've driven a couple diff. types of vehicles (Jeep, IntegraGSR, Expedition...) and you get ignored more in some vehicles than others. I know that sounds wierd, but it makes sense. If you drive a yellow jeep wrangler like i did, You get some heads turned your way. As for ppl not looking at you. When i drove my brother's Integra, I got all sorts of challenges, and attitudes from everything from other imports to Rednek Chevy and Ford drivers who wanted to prove something. I say, just have fun and shrug it off. Leave the boring and stuck-up to thier own miserable lives.

Honestly, I think alot of tC owners dont even know how good their car is. I think most of the people buy the tC because it is a good "economy car." They dont think the tC is anything special, a better value then the civic in consumer reports. When you wave at them and give them the thumbs up they think its because you are trying to screw with them, hit on them, or something. They probably dont want to talk cars. They just want to drive to work.
I, on the other hand, worship my car. Most of the miles I have put on my car so far are from me cruising around for no reason other than I enjoy driving it so much. I love talking to the people that complement my car.
You have not meet the right tC drivers yet is all.

It annoys me that someone would even spend a moment contemplating the idea that a certain car's owners are assholes. I can't begin to conceive of what must have been going through your head when you wrote that post or what kind of response you were thinking you'd get.
I don't know who you have been meeting on the streets, but they sound like they are unfriendly. Not all Scion tC owners are that way. I love cars and like to talk to all people about their vehicle. Where is it that you live? Also, I don't know where you get off talking about your car being able to beat all of the tC's, but I am just wondering what percentage of people on this Scion forum give a crap if you can or cannot beat a tC. That is nice for you if you can beat a tC, but in most cases, that is not a hard feat. They are not that fast compared to most cars out there. They are not bad, but they are not fast by any means. What are you trying to start here? If you want to talk specs, we can, but you need to let us know what you drive to do that??? Confused as to what your point was.
