Scion TC owners bitter?
 
So it's one thing to have cars trying to race me and give me stare downs, but I have noticed one recurring trend. The Scion TC owners are the ones giving me the most shit on the road. Do you think it's like a sibling rivalry type thing or the fact they are no longer the top of the totem pole?

I'm just wondering why it seems as if TC owners hate the FR-S. For me today was the tipping point as a white TC sped past and cut me off when there was no logically reason to switch lanes. Then slow down, wait for me at the light and rev...:iono:

TC drivers have no friends.....

its probably just your experience with an extremely small sample of tc owners who were ****s long before they bought tcs

Could be a big brother, little brother thing.

How come I never see any of these kinds of people... No one disrespects me. Everyone must love me.

That was just some stupid kid. The tc and frs are 2 different platforms. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not worth the discussion

New ones have 180hp, let's be nice :D

The tC is not a real performance car or sports car, just a sporty coupe. It attracts a lot of what I like to call "pretenders", or "would-be" car people. I'm sure I'll get flak for saying this, but it's true. I've been to a lot of Toyota/Scion meets and talked to a lot of people who own them. Not saying they're bad people, either. Just not real performance car enthusiasts. My stepbrother is one of those people. Always goes for a "sporty" car rather than a "sports" car.

Before anyone tries it, yes I've seen Chris Rado's cars, and they are about as close to the production car as a NASCAR Camry is to the production model, so please don't waste your breath.

I don't know, I've had a TC owner give me a thumbs up.

I would think TC owners have more reason to be proud with how the FR-S has created a sportier image of the Scion brand, and how cool of a car the TC can be associated with.

My room mate owns a TC and we get along fine.... I haven't come across any haters yet *Knock on wood*. Most just stop and make small talk about how great the car looks.
