I honestly just want to find an older datsun, f-body or something fun... I've had my eye on an 84 corvette that I could just pay cash for, but still not sure what the guy has done to it...
make suggestions, or if somebody has something they think I'd enjoy, I'd be interested in taking a trip up north again. (too bad jess wants to keep his GTA  )

erm... nothing... maybe some minor parts but body wise, its gone.
if I sell my tC for whatever, any cash I have I'll probably just save, buy a bike and ride to work since its hardly a mile away  then buy something later

OMG... be careful not to break your tires loose off of lights. But hey, you now officially have more HP than my 15 year old T-Bird.  |

I actually like it.... at least a little bit. For an old car with a small engine, it can chirp the tires on flat dry pavement in Reverse. Also, considering that it has over 165K on the clock, I'd say that 155+ psi cylinder compression and a steady 20 psi of engine vacuum is not bad.
Still selling it though. |

My stock tC picks up. Spins the tires just fine. 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. I'd be willing to bet it's faster than a lot of the F-Bodies on this board.  Don't forget that the Scion is about a half-ton lighter than the tanks that we mostly talk about. |

I'm going to have to agree with that, sadly... the scion's are geared fairly oddly as well, which surprised me when i first bought it, and still occasionally does. sucks for gas though 
just a hair above 2900 pounds and the entire top is glass... even the Iron Duke f-bodies weren't that light
having said that however, I still want a thirdgen again

| dude, iron duke fbodys were insanely heavy. my 2.8 weighs 3002. and thats invoice weight, so i think that might be GVW. the average 2.8 car weighs less then the average iron duke. that is why the iron duke is so useless. the blocks almost weigh as much as the v8 blocks. |
