Sup guys, I live in Costa Mesa and am in XcelsiA also, cuppajack you should come hang out with us sometime it's pretty fun. The usual suspects are me (Steve), xSTANDxSTRONGx (Brian), DodgerXA (Jorge), and racerxa (Carlos), tho a few of the busy folks show up sometimes too.

We will be at the West Covina meet on the 29th (wednesday) usually gets cookin' about 7:30. We just screw around mostly but we need more xA's there! Afterwards we go to starbucks right down the freeway, it's the most xA's you've seen on the road in one place... You should've seen us going to Hamer Toyota hehe... it's fun to caravan with walkie talkies in the car.. I'm gonna have to get someone to ride along with me so we can take some freeway pics.

Me and Brian are pretty stock right now, but Jorge and Carlos's rides are both freakin sweet. I need some new pics of my car! I'll post some soon..

Oh by the way, I seem to get 30mpg on the nose every fill up. I keep forgetting to stop by the air pump at the gas station and setting my PSI to 35, I've heard that is a huge factor in gas mileage... have you guys checked yours lately?

I just transfered from a community college up north down to LA. The traffic isn't that much fun, but, for the most part, I like it here.

I'm usually only on the roads on the weekends because I couldn't get parking at school so I have to take the bus.

Here's my ride.

Default Would love to meet

Hi All,

Well not only am I a New Scion xA owner but I am a New resident of L.A. I drove from NYC to L.A. (over 6,500 miles and 6 weeks) and have just started to get settled.

I am trying to do some upgrades and such, I think hooking up with an xA fleet would help me know my car better and such not to mention it would be cool.

Tuesday I am having an Injen cold air put in

Did you drive the xA out here? How was the trip?

I'm toying with the idea of the Injen Short-ram sometime after the holidays... Let us know how you like the CAI!

And hnefrdo, I dig those rims. Are the white? I can't quite tell from the pics...

LOL! NO! hehe, I sort of wish I did for the gas prices but I bought a Ford Expedition just for the trip so I could actually fit all my really important stuff (No Furniture).

This xA has about 300miles on it

Highway cruising gets me about 29MPG w/ and average speed of 80MPH.
I've had my xA for about 6 weeks now. full tank gives me between 26-28 mpg with freeway and city driving. Will be driving the xA to Vancouver this Christmas and checking the mpg.

I see about an xA every 2nd or 3rd day on the freeway, so there are lots of us out there. just got to get the word out to join sl.

btw, i shoot a lot of videos, so anyone up for shooting up mod xA's let me know.

Not sure of the exact address, but if you get off the 10 at Azusa that should be it. Racerxa knows where it is. Here's the link to the Meet thread https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...593&highlight=

I love the paint job you did and would love to know the price range of that "type" of job. I also think your Lip Kit is just the kind I want. Not to crazy. Got any links??
