Default We're (almost) now a two-xB family!

My Polar White '05 will hopefully be arriving this week to join my wife's Blue Onyx Pearl '05 in the driveway. We bought hers in December of last year, and already have 16,000 miles on it. We own a petsitting business, each driving about 100 miles per day. My dear old '92 Geo Metro is getting retired at 207,000 miles (I'm keeping her as a backup car, I'm the original owner). At one point we were both driving Geos, now we'll both be driving Scions!

Congratualtions!!!

We {obviously} have two xB's and my Bro-in-Law has a BCP xB and my son wants to get one soon too now. We converted him.


BTW...how is it taking care of Blue?? Im considering trading mine in for an '06 and Blue is one of my choices but my BIL hates BCP bc of the upkeep. TIA! {I have over 22,000 on mine so I know the feeling, I've only had it 9 months}

We really wanted to trade in our 02 mustang for another Box but the trade value would have killed us. I want even or lower payments. 400 or more a month for another box - NO WAY! Hopefully we will payoff early then just add another box later. Wishful thinking.

I was so close to having two Scions. I was ready to order a new TC for myself after I gave my wife the XB..but I drove a Mazda3 and fell in love. I still dig the TC, I just think the Mazda is a little more refined.

You must be on the road 24/7 with mileage like that already!

It's not the easiest color to keep clean, but it's not terrible either. We're too busy to really worry about every little teeny scratch that comes along, so we're looking to establish a long-term relationship with a mobile detailer that can keep both of them looking good. And one of these days we're going to be adding some business graphics, probably do the same thing on both with reversed colors.

I was this close to going with an xA, but it just felt too much like the same car I've been driving since '92 (size-wise, that is). Every time I'd take the blueB out for a spin, I was really digging the roominess and the fact that I was finally up at eye level with all the damn SUVs I'm constantly fighting!
