So, a little over a month ago, an Expedition tried to impregnate my box from behind. The results were of course catastrophic. Needless to say, the Expedition had to be towed. (front end smashed into the tire and wheel.)
My xB on the other hand, went to salvage. (body had new slight twist that made me very sad and glass blew all to bits as back moved closer to front) I was stopped and the Expedition was doing 35 or so. I suffered only bruises, aches, pains and anger. Long story short. I ended up with a new xB (2009) and thus the ride continues, though not in my sorely missed old xB.

Wow.. I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences.

Stupid SUVs. :grrr:

 

Always sad to see another one go, but good thing you are ok.

 

were they on their cell phone in their giant SUV?

 

it sux that people are careless......

 

wow its like a flash back only the lady who hit me was drunk and was going 65 mph. Glad your okay. and enjoy the new ride!

 

sorry...
did the insurance paid for the new xB??

 

Sad to see another xB Classic die, but glad you are OK.

 

We are loosing first gen xBs at an alarming rate........there needs to be some sort of petition or something to put our cars on the endangered species list.

 

Speculation ran that way, and they were cited for inattentive plus a couple other things.

 

After 20 months and over 26000 miles car lost about $1000 in value, so paid loan off and got cash to start payments on new car. These cars held value. My wife and I discussed a new one (again hard to find and harder in manual) And decided for the money to pick up a new car. (new xB - 2009)

It's a shame to lose one. Funny thing is my 3rd car (doesn't get out that much) is a '74 VW Thing. It was funny to see them side by side in my garage. The Thing is rare and has held it's value over the years.

 

Damn... sorry to hear that.
Plus it was a Shadow Mica

 

Sorry ya lost the toaster...

nice to see you got a stylish glovebox though!!!
also glad you werent hurt any worse...thats a big vehicle to have hit you at 35

 

Too bad...but it looked like you needed new tires in the rear from the second pic anyways...

 

Ya,me and the also hit people in front of me were commenting on it as I took the picture. Kind of ridiculous for only 26000 miles. Tires didn't last very long. I'm a fairly slow driver for the most part (was getting 34-36 mpg) and that's really ____ poor tire durability.

 

totaled just in time to save on tires...Jk glad everyone is ok

 

Wow! Another one of our Boxes bites the dust!...
Atleast you are still hear to talk about it!

 

I'm amazed at how well it held up, sorry to see it go, but happy to know that it can hold up to that... I wonder how it'll hold up to a crown vic or caprice on 24's....

 

Always to hear another Box go.
They are not making these any more and
will become more of a Classic as Time Goes By.
Glad to hear you are OK.

MR LUV

 

Ya thats why i drive really alert and if I would of just hit the person or let them hit me I would have wrecked it more then 6 times so I am lucky but good to know you are ok man. Hope you like the new Xb lol. They should add our cars to the endangered list because they only made them for 4 years and that is ___ they should of kept the old body. I bet they sold more of them than any other toyota car or truck alone. LOL!!!! But what ever they need a new look LOL!!
