Sorry I have been away for like a month now. Had my move finalized and lost the computer, so I bought a new one. Funny thing is, it died about 2 days after I bought it! Finally, a month later, COMP USA gives me a new one. We'll see how long this one lasts.... Anyway, I bought a Blue 2005 Scion tC ab...

TA DA!!!! Sorry I have been away for a while everyone. My stupid-a** computer died on me and had to wait to get it fixed. "Fixed", according to Comp USA, is to make you wait a month for stuff to come in the mail and then after it comes, turns out the computer was bogus to begin with. So, I...

Ever since I put my deposit on a tC, I hae been visiting http://www.scionlife.com. The site has lots and lots of people on it, and wading through the crap that people write seems daunting at times. So, I thought that maybe since genvibe members seem more educated, I'd give you all a shot at answerin...

I just put down a deposit on a tC. I think one of the deciding factors for me was the no haggle pricing. I hate talking to salesman normally and the scion guy was really nice and helpful and not pushy at all. Did you drive a stick or auto?

How far south are you planning to go? Hampton beach is pretty cool. There are also outlet shops in Kittery, ME, which is right off of interstate 95 and on the border between Maine and New Hampshire.

Why has nobody talked about electrically assisted engines in this thread? Personally, I think that Hybrids are here to stay and will be mainstream well before these other technologies make it.
