WOOT! I got a call from the dealer today saying that they had my car in :D Not only that, but they threw in a free cargo net :D Way to go Panama City Toyota!
ONe thing I think is very weird is the feeling of the clutch/shifter - there's hardly and feedback at all and they're a little clunky. The ones in my Honda let you know exactly what's going on, yet they're silky smooth at the same time - I guess that'll take some getting used to :P
I just can't get over the reaction of people when they see it. You should have seen all of the stares and smiles I got when I drove it home.
Anyway - I can't get this grin off my fact - I'd so glad it's finally here!!!!!!! 8)

Congrats! Glad you finally got it.Hondas make a damn good tranny( if not the best), that might be hard to get over. Im sure you'll enjoy it though. The honeymoon phase lasts quite awhile. Enjoy.

Phew - just installed the cargo net - it was missing a clip!!!!!! :evil: But, I can't use the cargo net and cover at the same time, so the clip from the free net that I got was a great replacement.

Congrats. Nice color too. Have you tried gently folding the side mirrors? Gotta love that!
Was it really a cargo net, like the one's on Scion's site? Because, there's also a net that is standard but is used to secure your tire/wheel when they are flat. It's somewhere in your Owner's Manual.

Yeah, I realised today that it was that thing after reading my manual :P HHAHHA - oh well, the kid who was going over my car with me (his first scion) thought it was a net also and just told me not to say anyhting about it. Oh well, you can't win them all. :wink:
Anyway, after 230 miles in two days I'm averaging 27.8 mpg in city traffic.
