Default You know you drive an SC...

when you've got someone in the backseat and it's time to get out, this person CANNOT find the little black footpedal that brings the seat forward. Then, on top of that, your passenger can't determine which GIGANTIC handle to try pulling on to move the seat forward. Then they either just slide the seat fully forward, or you have to walk all the way over to that side of the car to pull the BIG GIGANTIC LEVER.

Maybe that's just my mom tho..

-You have scraped your front bumper from taking a dip too fast
-Your instrument lights are blinking
-The passenger complains that the seats are as hard a rock
-You come out of the car looking like you've just visited gym (sweat spot on back)

You have an option to either open the passenger window. Or get out and open the passenger door to let your passenger out . Not because your e a gentleman , but its so they can use the outside handle, since the inside handle is broken off.
BTW ....option 1 is always chosen if your passenger is a guy !

haha... no one ever believes my car is a 92

I was rolling through victoria gardens (an outdoor mall here in socal) and some dudes and their girlfriends kept pointing, could not figure out what kind of car it was (and yes i had a lexus symbol on the back), until finally one of them blurted out... "yea... i think... YES IT IS... THATS THE NEW SUBARU"

- When you hear, "Nice Solara!" (I get this instead of the 240SX thing)

- When you hear, "My drink won't fit in your cupholders!"

- When you explain for the 328947382nd time that the Keyless Entry isn't broken, its just that your passenger door doesn't open from the outside.

- You see the butt of your lowered SC sticking out from the throng in parking lots due to its length.

- You wonder why you have to press and hold the moonroof switch TWICE (second time is around halfway) to get it to close all the way.

Thank You, I was hoping i wasnt the only one who got sweaty just from driving it as for the rest of this stuff, I've never had anyone say those about my 300, and the people i know who have their own cars have an 05 H3 and a 2000 Mr2, so to the rest of my friends i have a classy lexus (only four of em know i only paid 2k for the whole car and we don't tell that to the girls

(oh and in case you wearnt joking about the sunroof thing, my Dad's 02. BMW does that too, its a safety feature some moron probably shut an early sunroof on their , or their passengers hand and now they do it so you won't accidentally close it on someone.)

When people make comments like "how can you afford a car like that you're only 19" "what year is that 1998", "i bet you get lots of _______ in that car"

- When you have a Soarer badge on your car and get coments like "Oh, is that the new Solara?"

- When you have a cup holder next to your headunit that holds nothing more than a 12oz can and when you go to make your 1st turn, you have all 12oz. on your lap.

- When your passenger goes to change the track on the CD and they switch CD's rather than changing the song it takes a whole minute to get back to the CD you were on. This pisses me off more than anything.
