I'd like to introduce mys... *Pictures added 4/20*
..elf.
Anyways, I'm Zack. Currently driving a '92 Isuzu that gets about 5 gallons to the mile, lifted a couple inches, 32" BFG's... yeah, the average occasional weekend off-roader.
Within the past 4-6 months, I've had nothing but problems with the truck running right, and on top of that, the fuel mileage is dismal. About 11-12 MPG around town.
I received an offer from my aunt this past weekend that I couldn't pass up... which is to buy a Scion for me. Between the xB and the xA, I chose the latter, simply because it's different, and I personally like it better. If I were buying, perhaps I'd go with the tC, but hey, who's to complain.
Anyways, I'm hoping to have a PW '06 xA 5M in my posession by this time next week, Only options I really want at the time are alloys, lowering springs, and the center armrest (as I've read the complaints about the lack of a center armrest).
Hope to be sticking around. It's definitely going to be a BIG (well, small...) change to go from my truck to the xA, but I'm rather ecstatic over the whole deal.

Better wheels are a long ways down the road, so I figure I'd score a few pimp points now by adding them, instead of being forced to live with the steelies and caps for a while.
Appreciate the welcome though, glad to see I can still find an decent online group pertaining to the vehicle I drive.
My aunt's covering everything concerning the initial cost of the car (payments, interest, etc.). I cover the insurance, maintenence, and fuel costs, just like I do now with the Trooper.
What kind of insurance numbers are you guys pulling (if I may ask)?

Well, turns out I'm getting the car a little sooner than anticipated. I'll be picking it up on Thursday, which is when all the options will be done with installation.
Really looking forward to this. :D
