I had two guys in a VW check out my tc at a stop light and a guy in a convertable stang in a parking lot.

[superwhite06]

I get some looks every now and then, but its mostly from older people wondering what the hell it is I am driving. LOL

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I think thats what it is more... people seem a little confused

[mattvs]

I came out of the mall today to see two guys oggling (staring, walking around it goin 'check this out man') my car, was kinda funny :p

[sarsippius]

[Krdshrk]

There were some junior high kids drueling on my ride a couple of days ago. One kid was like, I'll give you 100k for your car, I said ok, but I want cash up front...heheh. The really tripped out when I put the under body neons on for them. It was funny.

Yeah the Tc as well as other scions definitely get a lot of looks from people. You would think with the good amount of scions on the road people would know what they are. But theres always somebody that walks up and asks wth is it.. I was waxing my car recently and a kid walked over asking what it was who makes it, how many cylinders, how much, how fast, I was like omg dude.. But it made me happy to have him ask me about it...

yesterday I had my car parked outside the store where I p/t and I as usual took up 2 parking spaces in the lot (this lot is extremely huge there is 3 strip malls in this lot) and city cop comes through and makes a 180 around my car and takes off. Then goes back over to my car again, he pulss behind it and his walking around my car, he then gets back into it and pulls around to the front of my car he gets out again and is walkinng all around the car. I at this point am standing outside the store watching him he puts his fat mits on my d side window and looks in and then walks to the rear of my car looks at that, then walks over and puts his fat mits on my p side window. he then walks around lokos at the wheels gets back in his car and takes off. I was too chicken shit to go over there and ask him WTF. I just said to myself just leave me a ticket and leave so I could move it..

After he flew out of the parking lot and up the main road like he got a call, to my dismay he didnt leave any ticket just finger prints and he just oogled the shit out of my tc. I dont really know what he was doing but he spent a good 5 minutes checking out my car.. Thought I'd share..

hmmmm....idk...lol i wouldn't want somebody especially a cop to put their damn hands on my car and finger it all up..lol but he can't look in your car just for the hell of it. even though your not in it..he still shouldn't have done that. Tim are you hiding something in there that shouldn't be in there? lol :rofl: but idk..maybe he just liked your car...lol :roll:

I normally would agree with you Jaime but in retrospect the car was filthy and needed a bath in the worst so no harm no foul. Thats what my mother said. She was all like "he probably never saw 1 and was interesting in it". I am still worried he is gonna mail me a ticket for taking up two parking spaces.. It was kinda funny watching hime walk all around the car and very adiment about seeing inside. I was too chicken shit to go over there and find out what he was doing. He looked like the kind of cop who could be a dick.. I didnt feel like hearing him screaming down my throat about not knowing how to park..

oh and btw Jaime I neither admit or deny hiding anything in my car. :) You will just have to find out on that 1. I will tell you the only thing that anybody could see (bearly) was my bluetooth headset in the cup holder..

I bet he was scoping it out to see what violations he could pull you over for when you left the lot.

[Anonymous]

Thats quite possible Matt.. But to his dismay my car is still stock and there isnt much he could do since I am not technically a NJ resident..

maybe he was looking for a car that met the description of yours and he was making sure it wasn't it. especially if he didn't have a tag number to compare it to.

about people not knowing what scions are it's probably because there really isn't much advertisement about them on tv or radio. at least the ads i've seen are usually later at night and on channles like mtv, nick, etc. not your average old folk network...lol.

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I see the ads all the time on adult swim.

[Anonymous]

Thats true most ad I have seen were late night or after 10 pm anyway..

[shia]

i havent seen a single scion advertisement!

one time when i was driving to beaumont... i passed a cop up going... 60? he ignored me at first.. then after hes out of my sight.. he comes speeding at 70+ mph behind me.. just to check me out. he flashed the freaking beam in my eye!!!! :( luckily my parents were in the car 8) so he stopped chasing me
