Default Anyone willing to trade their auto xB for a manual xB?

I am wondering if there are people out there who would be willing to trade their automatic xB for my black manual xB.

The reason being - my wife doesnt want to drive stick. I hate to even think about getting rid of my xB, but I am willing to entertain the idea.

Ive got some mods on it
-Tanabe DF210 springs (2" drop)
-DC Sports axle back exhaust
-YDR intake w/ K&N filter
-RS-Type Short Shifter
-removed rear Scion logo
-TYC Euro Taillight Set

I am wondering if this is even a good idea, would anyone else do it?

I'd do it but I have a ____ load of payments left. If you'd wanna switch payments then sure.

Never mind... I traded it in. It was a sad day. But a not so sad day since I was driving a brand new car again. I am sure no one on this forum will like what I traded the xB for : a Black 2006 Honda Element EX-P. It is more functional then my manual xB.

My wife didnt want to drive stick in the city so we got an automatic Element. I lowered the xB and put a DC Sports muffler on... bad combination for living in the city (at least Philly) because the roads are so uneven that I often scraped the muffler just driving down the street. The Element is a little bit taller with more clearance.

I was super paranoid about parallel parking my xB because of the body kit and the lowering... and again, the Element is higher off the ground so I dont have to worry about the curb.

Im sorry I am no longer an xB owner - I loved it while it lasted. I basically traded it for a slightly beefier version of a box.
