The tC is snug to you, JAZN, and you're 5'10"

I definitely don't need to get one, then. Not that it's really an issue as Toyota has not seen fit to offer their Scion-branded vehicles in Australia so it's not a big deal, I suppose. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

My wife's a big fan of GM (known as Holden over there) so I'm sure I'll end up with a Holden something-or-other. Most likely a Commodore Calais after her company trades it back in....

about the same time they had the sirius tuner... only they werent supposed to fix it.. just send out a replacement.. still took almost 2 months... first one they sent got all the way to my town.. but pioneer put the wrong adress on it... went all the way back.. then took them a month to find it in their warehouse and reship it....they wouldnt cross ship when it was totally their fck up and i could prove (with tracking #) that they had it.....made me wait till they found it to send me another... stupid bishes...grr...still gets me mad thinking about it..

when its time for a new deck.. its back to eclipse for me.. i should have never switched...

I have to lean my seat pretty far back to an almost uncomfortable position so that my head doesnt touch the ceiling. Speed bumps = my head pwned.

Im going to splice some speaker wire and make a ghetto ground for the HU's pre-outs. Sucks that I should even have to do this, it better fix it though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

*knock on wood*

I feel for you, brother. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Luckily I've not had to fight that war since the '87 Crown Vic that I used to have. I grounded, regrounded, and regrounded again every freggin item in my setup to no avail and the culprit ended up being a small, almost unnoticeable tear in the sheathing on one set of interconnects.

Replaced that set of cables and POOF the whine was gone.

I felt very foolish after having torn apart the whole durn car multiple times for it to have been so easy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
