I figured you might not have recognized the truck.

For todays sightings I saw a Nissan Xterra with Hawaii plates in downtown Schenectady- can somebody explain how that got here? The driver looked like a native Hawaiian.

Then on Broadway in Albany I saw an older lady (early 60’s or so) driving an Integra Type-R.

Of all things I saw a black Toyota Matrix all tinted out with dual 3" pipes this afternoon. He screamed by me doing at least 100 near exit 20 on the thruway. I was so overcome by his awesomeness that I had to pull over, regroup and wipe the stank off my windshield.

lmao!!!

I park in this snowbank everyday at work, prolly about 6" or so of snow I just ram my car onto. One of the new guys that works here has a tC and he apparently tried copying me by parking in the snowbank too. I went outside to get some change from my car to buy a soda, and this dumbass is stuck in the snowbank just spinning his tires :rofl I wish I didn’t leave my fucking phone inside so I could have gotten a pic, but oh well. There was like 2 other guys trying to push him out. By the time I got over I guess they already got him unstuck (unfortunately).

Made my day. :rofl

Scion tC + summer tires + snowbank = FAIL!!!
