thanks. I have to take it back to the dealer for my "extras" but don't think I wanna let it go on my birthday! LOL I see xb's around town but no one waves, they just stare at each other as they pass! go figure!
The first stickers to go on the puppy was the scionlife.com . People ask me if they came with it. lol I look foward to getting some xb's together as I live less than 5 min from the K mart on Rivers ave.
I will have LOTS of questions I'm sure about this strange little thing. So I thank you all in advance for you support.

Strange little thing it is indeed, but I can tell you, after owning one for 2 and a half years, that you will love it.

I already love it! Just not sure what to call it. Where does the little thing fall when it comes to dmv classification? It's not a truck, car, mini van or suv?
I'm trying to come up with a custom tag for it. I seem to be having
Box Block! After x mas I'll be looking into wheels n tires. I'm hoping to put 18's on it. what probs if any do you know of going with wheels that big?
Well I'm out, gotta go work, Friday night at the bar it's gonna be a long night! Check ya'll tomorrow !

well here it is Sat somewhere around 7:30 ish am... got home @ 4 was in uniform and here by 6am. Who needs sleep ? it's over rated anyways. LOL
I also have a 91 Accord that I have been mod-ing for some time so I can feel ya on the "crack" thing! I already want to do so much but it's only 2 weeks old yesterday. I'm dying to put a bumble bee exhaust on it like my honda has. BUT I will refrain (at least for now)
Everyone here seems to be so friendly. THANKS It means alot to us rookies just learning about scions. (hugs 2 all) ok well I'll try 2 check in l8tr. Off @ 4 back to the bar @6 for another long night of mixology. Have a great day ya'll

I rolled on 18's for 2 years no problems, until I needed new tires which would have cost me 1400 bucks, so I went down to 15's.

North carolina DNV calls it a sport utulity vehicle. if you look on your vin sticker on your b pillar it will say M.P.V. saying its a sport ute. good luck with the B and pics!

Toyota classifies it as a 5 door wagon as do insurance companies I believe. Just thought I would put my .02 in.
