I've been noticing that after my night class I will go to the parking lot and go to what I think is my car just to find out it is a car that looks very very similar to mine. This has been happening a lot lately! There are a grip of 6th gen accords at my school that look very similar to mine at night.

it's a 2006. The only recalls I've found are for wind noise fromthe windshield gasket and a bad panal clip causing rattling at high speed .... either way, this weekend I'm going to bring it to the Toyota dealership to have the VIN checked out. As far as noise goes, I don't think it's bad .... the engine seems a bit loud, but then again it's not as smooth as it can be with me driving ..... for now. Also, my last car made a bit of a rumble, so it's not like I'm going from a Rolls Royce to a track car as far as volume goes. The engine sounds a lot like my Dad's RX350. The VVT-i system has no noticible engagement since it works like the system in the K series i-VTEC.

Here's the kicker .... I found the TRD supercharger for about $2100 yesterday. That includes a flash on the stock ECU and it maintains all warrantees!!!! Guess what I'm buying myself for my birthday!!!!

The tc is a pretty darn cool car. When my buddy was looking for a new car I was trying to steer him towards the tc. He went with a yaris instead. I have to admit the yaris is a pretty fun car with the 5 speed so the tc must be freaking awesome.

LOL .... on the walk uptown to Port Authority yesterday, I saw a guy in a 2 door Yaris that couldn't parallel park in a space big enough for a pack truck with a fire hydrant zone in front of it! I actually waited there and watched him because it was funny. Imagine this guy trying to park anything that the wheels aren't on the corners of the bumpers!

I kinda like the 2 door version of the Yaris, but I'm not a fan of the 4-door. I can see the handling being upgradeable to a sick level since the car is so light (I think .... the tc's 2905 lbs surprised me) and simple, but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be in it doing 80 on the highway.
