Fine. I admit it. I am a Craig’s List junkie. I scour it form time to when I don’t have much to do. So while looking for my next modification I ran into something. Remember I mentioned that nothing was really changing in the new Scions except minor things and from the 2008 model the grill changed? Well turns out someone got a new tC, switched out the grill with an after market one, and so they were getting rid of the OEM for cheap. So I figured why the hell not!

So here’s what Pheonix looked like before

And here is what she looks like now :)

And for those wondering, I didn’t find what I was originally looking for.

As many of you may or may not know/remember, soon after I got Pheonix I added an iPod connector to the setreo system. This was largly due to the annoyances of switching FM stations for a good reception of the FM transmitter sitting in the car (Monster iCar Play Wireless) and creating mixed CDs that I actually want to listen to all  the time.

Yesterday, while scouring the interwebs in search of other information, I ran into this site, Your Scion tC .com. And it had a few more tricks that you could do for cheap or gratis. So what’s the first thing I did?

Going through my recommended videos today during the long builds in the background, I ran into this little video. From the thumbnail it looks like it is going to be one of thise machamania. However, the entire song is actually in Simlish.

I know what you are thinking. What the hell is Simlish. Now I realize that in when playing Sims you are not supposed to understand what they are saying, but this? Wow. What a marketting ploy.
