Fast Scion tc

Fast and reliable! I love this old girl! After almost 20 years the car has no oil leaks a tight suspension perfect suspension settings, and loads of fun to drive quickly. My job for 34 years was a proud Jaguar gold master tech, first one in Michigan!!! - 4.0
Nice car

Fun, reliable, sporty, Japanese, lots of after market parts, easy to work on, a lot of power when you need it. But these engines burn oil, it's normal says it in the owners manual, every 600 miles you add a quart of oil. So you have to check your oil weekly depending on how much you drive. The underbodies rust a lot and the car is very slippery in the rain, slow down on the curves and turns or you will crash. But I love these cars, this is my second one. - 5.0
Paper Tank

Got one of these from a neighbor that hadn't seen action for roughly 13 years or so, about 50k miles at the beginning. It was certainly showing age, cabin insulation wearing away, foggy headlights, some plastic equipment missing, but typical timeline stuff. Drove it another 70k in four years, at least 10 trips from Central Cali to Arizona, 8 hour marathons, LA traffic, valley dust, Phoenix heat, not a single problem. Can't tell you how many times I probably kicked the transmission wrong, no complaints from the car. Only failure was me leaving a light on at an airport and killing the alternator. Not one flat tire, no engine failure, regular maintenance the whole way through. I could fit everything I owned in the trunk. Spent a whole pandemic summer running Postmates in it. No matter how badly you treat this vehicle, it will not die. I took it to a mechanic to check its vitals and they told me 'if the axle cracks, there's no fixing it. But that's an age thing, and the only thing that'll kill it.' The car is literally too lightweight to break down, and you can feel it in the acceleration. I loved this car, and it never let me down. Bad HVAC though. It is from 2007, you're not getting a rear cam or bluetooth speakers or anything fancy. But for my priorities at the time, this is the gold standard of dependability.
