LoL..... You got it.... Stopping off at Tonkin Scion all the time with the tC all the time actually paid off, as I got great value on the trade on the xB and went from 72 month on the old one to 60 on this one, and still had lower payments!

Nothing show crazy for this one or anything though... That I'm not going to do... although it will get tint/lowering/wheels, as it's WAY too high up, and the wheel gap is hideous... it'll just be the xB staple car... good for trips and fun and all that jazz.

My dad is staying on the darkside and is picking up an '08 Yaris LB in BSP next week hopefully and that will be his to modify.

The Yaris will definately end up being the more heavily modified car, as I'm not into going crazy on cars anymore and my dad surely IS! He's already consulted with me on options for it and he has a page or so of things to do on that little monster... coilovers to body kits to god only knows what!

Anyways... just a nice little fun addition to the Family... Scion #3!

If a Yaris is the dark side, I'd hate to think what a H*nda would be... or *shudder* a European or American car...

I heart Yarises. It's the Pirate Car (yarrr!). Plus it's got a 1nz-fe. What's not to like?

The Mini is my lil bugger.

Yep.... just keeping things subtle and well balanced for me. I got way overworked, way obsessed with excess in life and cars, and way too into things that get no return on all my investment! (trophies and wins don't count, as I got a room full of them all dusty-ing up) Good hard lesson to learn.

The new Box will get the neccesary things to make it redeemable as an xB2 though, and that's pretty much it...

Wheels/Lowered/Tint/Front Bumper Vinyl, no way is it going to show-land. I'd like to throw some 19's on it, lower it a few inches, and make the windows dark to contrast the white... Then it'll look like it should and she'll be happy to have a car with wheels and it won't be the xB2 on stilts it is now.

It'd be funny to put 20's on it and have a car with dubs (20s on the box) and a car with half-dubs (my 10's on the mini).... LoL

My DAD, not that's a whole different deal! He's finally going to have a car to play with and represent himself, instead of helping out me with all my ideas, I'll just help him with ideas and he'll get to do his own baby!

If any car is going to show up at meets or shows or anything, it'd be the Yaris, but I just think he's going to do it for kicks... He's already got eyes on the Kaminari lip kit, coilovers, tint, wheels, and the blackout treatment like my tC got... I tried talking him into letting me do an xB blitz supercharger retrofit on it, but he's not that willing to find or part with 3k

Anyways... I'm still reading up all the time and I'll be at the PDX event next weekend!

Just don't make the same trade with the Mini, (old to new). It's cool that there is another Scion xB/Real-Mini Enthusiest in the world, let alone the same state!!!
