I hope you like it, whatever it is.

Why not a TC?
[/div]

They're about $2000 or so more and I don't want another two-door.

Did it come with chop sticks :eek: Good luck with it.

Actually they gave me some grain pellets to feed the hamster under the hood! Kidding aside, it's nice so far. I really needed a car of my own instead of using my Dad's. Plus this purchase is just one more step to being more independent.

Yeah, the whole thing is a Toyota, but in the U.S. it's called a Scion.

you are not alone in your interest. I feel bad knocking your vehicle. It is yours, and if it helps you feel more independent, then more power to you. I personally have no interest in such a vehicle, but I wont sit here and make fun of it. For what it's worth, it is very unique, and having a vehicle that stands out in a sea of "me too" cars, makes all the difference in the world.

as I said... you are not alone in your taste:

Personally, I think the Tc is a sharp looking car.

Here is a pretty cool site I just stumbled upon for some "chopped" cars.

How can you drive that? I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing, yet alone yellow? I'd rather drive around in a riced out civic. sorry but damn, you had so many other choices. I really don't mean to be an ass so sorry but there are 2 cars in this world I really hate, that and beatles

I have to agree, the best part of those pics is the Mark VIII quarterpanel visible in the background.

That being said, congratulations on your purchase and I hope you enjoy years of trouble-free miles with that machine. :)

Congrats on your new ride!!! :D

As some people have mentioned... maybe not a car/van/wagon/whatever for everyone, but if it makes you happy, that's what matters...!

If nothing else, people will notice you in that thing... Think of it like the new Caddys, many people still don't like the edgy styling, but you'll never confuse them with anything else on the road.

Drive what you like, #### everyone else.

When are you going to take it out of the box?:eek:

O man what a good line that was..........but yea not something I would drive but good luck with it. I spent some time in japan a few years ago and let me tell you those are all over the place over there. Not necessarily that exact one but that type of styling on a small van. But then again there's also skylines over there too.........}(

That is by far the best looking british taxi I have seen. All the others have been black and are generally badly beaten by now, geez they must be 30 years old now.
Wait a minute! It's new? Wow someone reinvented the Morris taxi. I'm impressed.

I like it. Those things catch my eye every time one goes by. There are a couple around here that have been moded. There might be room in my fleet for one if it got good enough gas milage.
