Well friends, xBassist here to inform you that I drove 5 hours to West Virginia today to pick up my new Camo xB... omg I love this thing... The 5 hours driving up there in my RSX sucked, but the 5 hours home were so great... I think I have the first Indiana xB, unless someone got one from Cali weeks ago or something >=(... hehe.. Definately the only xB I saw the whole way there and home was my own... The dealership I bought from was great... Everyone was extra helpful, nice, etc etc... I went ahead and bought the TDR 18" wheels, which for some odd reason, they could not install for me... Some kind of legal thing, not really sure... So they offered to take me to a local garage and they would pay to have the wheels installed and balanced, but since it was nearing 4pm, and my stepfather is a mechanic, I decided to just throw them in the back and come on home.. On the way home, I stopped and got some gas at a Dairy Mart, and the second I step out of the car, I have 3 people standing about 3 ft. from my xB just staring, then here come all the questions about it... So I talk to them for 5 mins until they leave, start pumping my gas, and a couple in a red jeep pull up and poke their heads out the window and start asking questions... and more people when I go inside, and more people when I came back out... I had to talk to like 20 people just to get $10 worth of damn gas, lol... I feel great... Scion rules.

Anyways, a big thanks to Jason Deskins and the crew at Bert Wolfe Toyota/Scion in West Virginia for kicking so much ___ and getting me in the xB of my dreams, hehe.

I'll be posting some pics tomarrow once I get the wheels on the mofo..

P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

Thanks =) Already completely in love with the thing... Driven in about 450 miles the first day... Had 22 when I picked it up ;)

My girlfriend hated it from pictures... but once she seen it in person, and sat in it, she started to warm up to it until she pulled down the passenger side sun visor and discovered....... NO MIRROR... Now she hates it again =( oh well, it's my damn car anyway =)

the reactions from people are the best... i've already been asked if my xB is "one of those electric cars" and the funniest thing is that most of the guys that come up to me and ask about it are driving big pick up trucks and stuff...

i cant wait to keep dumping money into this thing. it's gonna be great. mine had one mile on it when i bought it and three weeks later, she is nearing 1200

My old woman hates it too because it doesn't have a mirror on the sun visor. My tacoma didn't have it now my scion. DAMN TOO BAD!

about the mirrors..... i think it's pretty useless in this car anyway, the roof is sooo friggen high in comparison to my eye level. that, and i have a broadway mirror, and my sun visors hit the rear view mirror everytime i pull it down. ive never used my sun visors.

Fella's, look out, when ladies start driving it, you will never get back. My wife uses it for her business. She lays the seats down and she put all of her products in the hatch area, she loves it. I got the driver's door unlock with the remote start and daytime running lights, with the stereo, I never get to drive it. She had me make a cusion so she can see better. I drive her corolla now. What happen to My Xb? They will warm up to it, and when they do, kiss it good buy.

I may end up putting a stereo and a remote start in the corolla, so I wll have something to listen too, and don't a cold car when I get off work. Bill

Thanks for all the congrats =)

The dealer also had a thundercloud and a black cherry xB, the BCP was their demo, they had 18's on it, and every available accessory.. They were putting some stuff on the tc, I assume it was already sold... They also have 2 xA's that are owned by the dealership.. And when I first arrived they were still putting the fog lights in my xB, so Jason grabbed the keys to one of the xA's and we drove over to the area where they were getting added.. Which is where I saw the thundercloud being accessorized.

The thundercloud and the BCP were both great colors, but I'm glad I picked the camo.. just fits me better.

Scions are not released in Indiana til June, which is why I had to kick it down to West Virginia...

It's snowing hard outside now and freezing rain later today.. I don't think I can take it out today because of retard weather.

So why did you dislike your RSX so much?

xBassist
02-05-2004, 04:53 PM
You waiting til June? If you don't mind a 6 hour or so drive from Indy to Charleston, you might want to call Bert Wolfe Toyota and talk to Jason Deskins... He said they have more xBs coming in on the 13th this month

xBassist
02-05-2004, 04:55 PM
I don't dislike the RSX at all, the drive up was only bad because I was anxious to get the xB, hehe... RSX is a great car, just not my style.. I miss the speed a little, but not enough to care ;)
