Hey! Got this a bit late, but glad you made it out regardless. Hope you enjoyed the rip around the block!

Oh for sure! I forgot what torque felt like. I had a blast yesterday.
None of my shots from yesterday really turned out to be anything I'm proud of but I'll throw them up later.
It was awesome meeting all of you folk. I can't wait until next month!

I'll post up a few pics I took from the meet as well (when I get home from work tonight) - provided dropbox doesn't give me more headaches.

You ended up with some nice looking shots there. Mind if I ask what camera/lenses you're shooting with?

Wow. Seriously Toyota? Most people will be buying this for a second vehicle. This will be their baby. Of all of the vehicles on their line to mess up I would say that this would be the one with the most **** potential customers. Their gonna lose a lot of potential fr-s customers over this. Does anyone know if the 86's having the same issues?

y'know all this talk of the old XB style reminded me that Subaru has their own version of the XB in europe. aaaaaand since they're colaborating with Toyota, why not take over their market now that the XB is defunct? I give you the DEX

3 Gen1 XB sightings in 24hrs; firstly, one of my fellow Polar white's going up Memorial, nice girl waved whilst passing. Hers had a spoiler, chrome-ish hubcaps and this pinstripe that was 3 lines of "O" from front to back.
Secondly, a light neon green going down Blackfoot with BC plates on it. Nothing noticeable besides the color. Never seen before.
And what may have been Dylan at the Calgary Farmers Market today, or another grey XB.

Spotted a gen1 xb I hadn't seen in years, blue with white/light silver racing stripes down the middle. Going the other way though.
