We took my g/f's Forester to the shop, and the mechanic stopped to check out my tC on his way to get the info on her car! He said it looked "wild" and started asking me all about it.. He even asked if it was a conventional internal combustion engine -- He seemed pretty confused about what Scion was all about (all he had seen is the xA and xB) and what Toyota's goals were -- he thought it was a hybrid or something... then he guessed over $20k and almost fell over when I told him the price!!

Well, she loves her Forester.. she needs the AWD when she's in VT winters.. hasn't had any problems with it, and her only complaint is that it's hard to stop.. (I drove it and told her it's just a heavy car, and she just needs to push harder on the brake pedal)..
Anyway, she was worried when I got my tC that she would fall in love with it over her Forester, but, she still has love for both cars.. loves my tC for me, and loves her Forester for her.
Haha.. she just reminded me that I have a friend (a total car guy) that won't even come check out my tC!! I was showing it to some other people at a party, and he just said, "A new car is just a car." and blew us off -- this is crazy, cause this kid is all about car talk!! Our theory is that he didn't want to see it cause he just bought a Corolla and is pissed cause he knows my tC's gonna be so much better!!
He won't even look at it!!

I bet you're right about the Corolla guy. Speaking of which, I was back at the dealership yesterday, and I saw this Corolla XRS with a sticker price of $18,891...that just cracks me up -- people are paying more for a Corolla than I paid for my beautiful tC with tint, auto-dimming mirror, and blue light kit? Crazy.
I also thought about an XRS, but, in the end, it's still a Corolla. Plus they've already squeezed just about all they can out of the motor, so there's no additional potential. If I had bought a Corolla just before the tC came out, I'm not sure I could bear to look at one, either.
driving around campus last night a TON of people were kept looking at my car...I wasn't sure why. I've been driving it for awhile now and I'm used to the occasional look but literally everyone I passed looked. I thought my front must of been busted and I didn't even know it, so I had to pull over in a lot to check it out.

yeah the silver tc hasn't gotten much attention at all.. lol and actually I'm liking it.. hehehe..
I've had a few people compliment my new Lexus. Of coarse they were talking about my tC but I hardly want to correct them . I even had some lady drive up in a brand new loaded Acura TL and say how much she loved my car. She coulda bought two of them for what she paid.

The other day I was meeting a client for lunch and he was running late. So I just sat in my car waiting for him to show up. While I was waiting, I had this businessman walk up to the car and start asking me a bunch of questions about the car, and the guy was really excited to talk about it.
After lunch, my client came by the car and was raving (and he owns a Corvette). Right as my client left and I got back in the car, two bums stop me and ask "Is that the new tC?"
Of course, they then asked for some money, but it was funny nonetheless.
