"Hey man, what kind of car is that?"

Today I had two different people, both complete strangers, ask me about my tC. One guy asked me how I liked it and then asked me about what came standard, how it handled, etc., and the other guy asked me what it was and complimented my wheels.

I gotta say, the comments and looks are pretty nice.
I never had anyone say, "Hey, nice Corolla," or, "Hey, is that a Supra?" when I had my Corolla.



edit: just testing something...... sorry- T

A coworker of mine came by today and saw my poster... asked if I was getting it.. I told him it's on the way & he said he couldn't wait to see it. I guess he just got a new BMW & said he "paid out the ass" for it

He was reading about the specs and features on the poster & was completely shocked & even more so when I told him the price!

I know...the tC is such a spectacular deal. In fact, I delayed a week in ordering mine because I was trying to figure out if there was something missing or wrong with it given that it was so cheap.

^^ My dad couldn't understand it either. He was totally sceptical and had the attitude of "there's no way that's possible", until I got him to check out the car, and he was like...."where do we sign?"
I actually got my dad to come out and look at the car with me. My dad test drove it and loved it -- after the test drive he was saying things like, "Maybe I'll come back here in a year and trade in my Avalon for one of these..."

Yeah, I haven't gotten TONS of people to stop me or anything, but if I'm already stopped (ie: people working a drive-thru window or people at stop lights, etc.) then they don't mind talking.

I think with getting a "normal" color I don't stick out quite so much either....I'm sure if I got the Indigo Ink or Black Cherry that more people would be talking...

I DEFINITELY love having my car mistaken for a BMW though....that's a REALLY good feeling!
OH yeah, what I do hate is when people pull up beside you on the interstate and look at your car...then speed up and slow down and check your car out with their side mirrors, then pull in front of you and keep checking it out....

I mean seriously, get the crap outta' my way...I need to move over and you won't let me!!!!

...sometimes I do that to cars on the highway...
I was going to get a spring compressor and some xtra tools last friday to put on my springs with my friend who just bought an 04 Si about a month or so before i ordered my car (he is jealous btw
)and when i came out of the store i see this kid about 9 or so and his dad walking around the car pointing and smilling. Then we stopped at a store to get some drinks and there is this a$$ hole looking yuppy guy and his trophy wife and kid (i call hime that just cause of the way he was acting) any way, they walk out before us and when we come out the dude is stopped at my car staring in the window, then he gets in his # series BMW. That was the coolest one. Well after lowering the car i go get gas and it seemed every honda on Harris blvd saw my pull in cause they started pulling in looking, and this one ghettoe hatch pulled in and started reving about 100ft away as he was pulling up to the pump. This week i am in an Exchange 2003 class for work and some one different for the past 2 days as asked me about the car. I got no comments for about the 1st month or so and now they are pooring in. ITS AWESOME.

wow so does this mean i'm going to have a fan club? lol.. i'm getting the silver streak mica.. and i believe that silver is bright enough to cause people to look at it.. it made me take a 2nd look after i already told the dealer to get me an indigo ink pearl.. had him change the order asap.. but with all this fan club stuff, i just hope i don't get the type of guy that tcrazy ran into!!
Super white is brighter than silver!

Four people in the last two days have come up to me when I happened to be out of my car for two seconds and commented on my car -- today a guy in a late '90s Civic with high spoiler and $1,500 rims started asking me about it and said it looked really nice...

Oh, by the way, the Civic guy said he thought it looked like an Acura...I don't really see that.
Today while driving this car comes out of no where and is all up my a$$, so i change lanes and look over and these two kids are giving me the thumbs up so i waved and did the same. so i keep driving and look over again and they are doing the same thing! so i again waved and smiled and gave the thumbs up. then as i'm exiting i look over and again with the thumbs up and then they beeped and waved as i exited. i think they are more excited about the car than me!

A red BMW Z4 was in front of me at a light by my work... we were stopped. I noticed he was trying to scan the car with his rear view mirror. I ignored him... and then a few moments later... he rolled up just a bit to get a better look at the front of my car.... I didn't move cause I thought he deserved a good look... lol...


tCs Rock!!!!

spydir you dog......good job!
4 numbers in the past few days, all sparked from the tC.
tC=booty magnet. Been super lucky in that dept since i got the car!
Leave it to a girl to bring this up but.....

Do you REALLY want a number from the kinda' girl that sees a hot car and wants to hang out with the owner?

Maybe I'm just thinking way too much into it (I do that A LOT)...but that's my thought anyway.

Some girls are good for some things....other girls are good for other things.

My girlfriend is great for all things.

I think that most girls are shallow, crazy, cheaters, backstabbers, or stupid. That's one of the main things that has kept me off the market for so long. Before you say it, I realize that the same thing could probably be said about guys, but I don't date guys so I don't care.
