Hello. I'm the owner of a Scion XB (2005). I probably won't post pictures or anything - currently it's being fixed up. Not to have special paint jobs or anything, unfortunately. This is just to make it look normal again.

Some kind, considerate person backed out into the poor, properly parked little XB with their SUV while I was at work one day. I've taken to calling it the Crushed Tin Can since then. But now my dad and I are apparently going to be replacing the door as well as some intense interior cleaning. The only thing we've really changed so far is that we can plug an iPod in directly to play music.

I just thought it'd be nice to get a little ways into the Scion community.

 

welcome! good luck on fixing the b!

 

Thanks! I think it should go fairly well. Miraculously it seemed to only damage the door. It should look as good as new when we're done XD

 

Welcome!

Too bad about the door! Although better than a smahsed quarter panel!

What color xB?

Robert

 

Dark green.

Yeah, it could have been worse. Would be nice if people would leave insurance information after they back out into your car, still!

I can't wait until it gets all fixed up... I miss how it looked before the last 1.5 years or so. We didn't really have the funds for replacing the door, just looking for deals. But we think we've found something.

 

lose the doors and go with canvas. like a jeep. :-)

 

welcome to the life ! sorry to hear about the crushed tin can, but i'm sure you guys will get it fixed up real good. tons of resources available on the site, so good luck!

 

*Laughs* wouldn't that be asking for a robbery? Think I'll stick with a new door. I guess it's not that much safer... but it feels more solid.

 

Yeah. My dad's pretty good at this stuff. I have a feeling everything will be just fine. But I might have to rename it :O)

 

welcome. hopefully you find lots of useful info here

 

Mmmmmmm . . . CAMO! One of the most rare and THE most desirable color xB is available in!

Welcome to the fray, and good luck in getting your B back to how you want it . . . .

 

AMEN!! to another camo owner !!welcome aboard!!!

 

I have to admit
I even like how the como B's look
