Default I'm Back! w/pics

Whats up all. So over the winter I crashed my TCM Xb that I had worked so hard on. I hit a slick spot and plowed into a steel side rail at 50mph. Needless to say the toaster was toast. After a short stint with a new CR-V, I couldn't resist the urge and so I went ahead and bought another scion! You just can't beat the Scion community and knowledge base. Below, I've posted "before and after" pictures. My wrecked Xb1 and New Xb2.

It hurts to look at your old box! Glad you are okay. Welcome back.

Nice color choice on the xB2!

Like I always say, "Everything happens for a reason". When you go through something bad, usually something good comes out of it down the line.

Big ups! so you like the 2nd gen xb's better than the new crv's? how much more was your crv? just wondering, haven't been in the newer ones, though i've seen them on the road. I've been in a similar position for awhile, and have been looking at the 2nd gen scions for a bit, and wanted to explore all my options, though i do miss my 1st gen box.

The CR-V was a great car. I really have nothing bad to say about it. Great fit and finish, quiet ride, all kinds of options. The problem is that they've marketed it for the soccer moms of the world and thats exactly who's buying them. Therefore there are no aftermarket options and very little you can do to modify or improve. I was bored bored bored with that car. I traded it in and lowered my payments by $150 a month. Furthermore, I now have a toy that I can tinker with and pi$$ the wife off
