Cali has a history of racism towards "asians." So I'm not completely surprised you found a place that was obviously racist but I am still disappointed. Many might think Cali is a beacon of progression away from stuff like that. I know better. We have racists here too, although it's more poignant because they live in compounds and sometimes are shown in the evenings news :ugh:. We had a local klan get the boot from a lawsuit awhile back , apparently they were pestering the clerks at the grocery store too. And also as I'm sure everybody knows, we have some of that Confederate fervor floating around too . There are rednecks here too but they're not the majority of people !

And not to be rude in any way but compared the US, Japan is not much better than Cali in regards to laws. Kentucky is "free" country in comparison to Cali. If Marshall law was declared it would either be laughably inept outside of the bigger cities or outright war over such a ridiculous thing . I can understand wanting to go back to Japan and not deal with the racism though . I'm tired of it and I don't have to deal with it, it's mostly friends and family that do.

Respect of law enforcement officers as you may know them is very common out here. We have some good ones but we have some bad too so it's not really because we have good police. Blowing off some turbo for a cop could be IMHO.

When we left Humboldt county 10 years ago we couldn't buy a trash heap for less than $100k maybe $200k. My grandmother sold her $186k house for over $350k! And moved out here with us. The housing prices there were ridiculously high back then . My parents bought their first home for $99k out here on a 3 year fixed rate and it was a nice classic home with two stories in the middle of a quiet town and then the housing bubble collapsed and they couldn't get refinanced .

On a serious note who is going to pray/ritiualate that the Scion announcement is about a new iQ? I could lead us in prayer but I don't really care either way if the sell a Scion variant.

You don't know Japan very well, making a statement like this.

That is why I bolded "might" so that it doesn't look like it's official. But these people travel to every car show in America and I know that still isn't a valid reason to confirm it.

what's really gonna be stupid, is if they announched the Iq and bring the car to show then mention.... "Oh btw... we have an FT86 and heres a picture....we didn't bring the car just this tiny vauge picture....and oh keep waiting 2 more years"

I never said YOU were a redneck...but since you brought it up, I've met a few black red-necks in my day....

I still didn't describe a redneck. At least not a TN redneck. They drive pickup trucks usually covered in mud, and gun tracks in the back window. Not turbo Imports....lol.

Scion symbol would be gone the first day off the lot and have a Toyota badge on it ASAP. Im with most of you guys, Scions are the poor mans toyota *the teenage car* and almost every TC is a girls car so ewwwwww Toyota has good strong heritage, scion is for kids with acne and way too much hair gel! The kind that pulls up next to you and revs thier 1.5 engine thinking they are gonna beat you. /facepalm

[Dragonitti]

That's funny seeing as how the avg age of a Scion owner is 25+yrs old.

The average Scion buyer is 39 years old. Cite. But don't let that get in the way of your prejudice and sexism.

Well then tell the kiddies to stop driving them and I wont worry. But in all honestly when I ever see Scions on the road, its always younger buyers because they can afford them, plain and simple, just as they were designed for.

Ill have to keep my eye on that but id say a good 90 percent around here are all young college or HS students. And as stated before, almost all TC's are girls. So if you call that sexist, well then I guess I am

Yes, That's my concern all along. I don't get it why I have to buy everything part by part if I want OEM upgrade. You would be WASTING a lot of money doing that. In Toyota's line, one package gives you all most everything you need for a lower price, and you don't have to worry/(WASTE your time) about selling what you replaced online either.

Toyota also has better brand image.

[Archer256]

That is all totally true, if this things quality goes down in the states because it's a scion...shits gunna hit the fan
