This car is clearly not targeted for you, and that's ok. From this statement alone you could absolutely move on, and imo you haven't really criticized the car, don't judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Sounds like you'll be out of the car soon then.

And there's no shame in admitting that you're a slut, we all are bending over for someone else in one way or another, if we weren't we'd either have no money or have way more money.

And from these I would guess his "team" consists of towel boys and his "tests" are on what rags soak up water better.

I have no idea why he thinks a scion tC is as quick as a twin 0-60 or in the 1/4.

I think you've got the wrong idea. I love this car. I have no complaints other than the interior. It's not a horrible interior, it's actually perfectly laid out. I just think they cheaped out on the materials a bit. I wouldn't say it's an expensive car either, nor would I say it's cheap. The price point is pretty spot on. I don't care anything about the power. Speed isn't my thing anyways. I'm more form over function. I'm not comparing it to the tC, I was just pointing out that I thought it had better materials used interior wise.

But cool, glad you were fortunate enough to just get a car handed to you.

His "girl's" or the one he "had"?

Damn it! I did all that digging and it was right here in this thread all along!
