excel_xb 11-09-2004, 06:12 AM well i was cleaning my engine bay when i noticed something strange behind the header.

it is a frekin owners manual! how it got there remains a mystery to me, but my guess would be that the dealer who serviced my car left it in there. Its not my owners manual either, cause mine is still in my glove box. Im surprised that it did not burn due to the heat. Ive been driving for 3 weeks with that there. I had to remove the valve cover to get it out cause my strut bar was preventing me from reaching it. blah..i still dont know what to think of this :?

KevinxB 11-10-2004, 12:02 AM I've found stuff inside my car after a trip to the dealer. Nothing under the hood, yet. But maybe I should check. Stupid carmax service people.
There was a book left in between my seats, as well as some weird little tool. The book was stupid; something about two guys who made an agreement with each other to become doctors. I don't know what the tool does. It was like a screw driver with a weird tip. I haven't seen anything in my xB that it could be used for.
The book thing ____ed me off. Nice to know that when I'm sitting for an hour and a half in the dealer waiting for you to fix my car, you're hard at work, relaxing with a good read.
Considering they didn't even fix the problem I'd taken the car in for, I wanted to bring the book back there and say "Does this look familiar to anyone?"
Da_BoX 11-10-2004, 12:18 AM Lol put it back!!! Put it back!! Thats for the gerbils to read when they are taking a break from running on that wheel we call a motor!!! :)

I agree with that. What type of scion maintenance men need to have your owner's manual to work on your car. Scion is suppose to be there specialty.
