HA! I didn't spend $16 grand to be called a FUTURE OWNER!! Hahaha. I'm trying to get use to this site's layout. Its a little confusing

A little tip on searching... Use the RED search button for that function. The quicksearch isn't that great, and everyone will hate you if you post a thread that's common... LOL

Welcome to the club! I'm rocking in my RS2.0 as well!

Still have not even seen an xB RS 2.0 yet. I know for sure there is one manualy one in the ares that my dealer has sold, my the automatic still has not come in maybe this week.

/\/\ My insurance is killer right now, and if i get 1 more insurance point, i'm walking. So i wanted to go from the performance import side of the spectrum to the import show side. From all go and no show to no go and all show! Be aware my car will be amazing in due time. Haha :)

I picked mine up 2 days ago from R & H in Owings Mills, he said they were getting 2 more if your're interested, Koons in Westminster had 1 on the back lot 2 days ago too.
Ups delivered my 18 inch wheels and tires the very next day, I'm waiting for my yellow strut bar and console and I'll be all set.

It has arrived!!! My car came in this morning, they are putting the options on and the sunroof in. Should be able to pick-up on Thursday or Friday.
Three people I work with have seen them within the last two days, so they finally have hit the Washington area.

I have had my box 2 weeks now and have put 1300 miles on it. Love the looks and the comments. Just got my wheels yesterday. American Racing RS 686 15" and used my same tires. The chrome 7 spoke look good. Sears had the wheels listed for $520 on their wall display. The salesman looked them up on his computer and said that they were $194 each. When I showed him their price on the display, he had to sell them at the display price. I went with 15's for the ride quality. You can go to Pepboys web site and enter your vehicle. It will bring up a picture of an XB. You can change the color of it to see what the wheels will look on your box. By clicking the custom color tab, you can make one colored yellow. That is how I knew what wheels would look with the yellow. You can even lower it to see what it will look like with a lowering kit. Good site. I have the automatic. So far mileage was 28.57mpg first tank, then 35.27, then 34.55, and last was 33.8. Sure beats 18mpg that my truck was getting. I drive 70 miles round trip to work.
