'06 GOBOX Update

Hi Folks,

It's been six years since I last posted here, so I thought I'd give an update on my "baby." First, the basics:

'06 xB
Automatic
Silver
70,000 miles
Two-tone Black/Silver Leather Interior (more on this later)
Special body decals with GOBOX logo I designed
GOBOX vanity tag
Custom Wheels/tires
Masked-over third brake light reads "STOPBOX" when lit
Special sunvisor I invented for gap behind rearview mirror (more on this later)
Garage-kept - still in immaculate condition

When I bought the car I requested leather interior, but somehow they "lost" the car after it arrived at the port in the US. Personally, I think they sold it to someone else, as I had negotiated a good price...they probably got an offer on it and just let it go. I was in the process of reaming them new, um, well, you get the idea, when they offered to have their interior design guy (yeah they had one) get with me and give me any leather interior I wanted on an identical car they had in the showroom that had a cloth interior. So, I took them up on it and that's how I got my two-tone leather interior. I would venture to say I am the only xB owner with dealer-installed two-tone leather interior in the USA.

I had a job for quite some time where I drove East in the morning and West in the evening. The sun was a nuisance, so I came up with a cardborad cutout that fit over the rearview mirror and completely blocked the sunlight. I got the bright idea I could sell this so I had 150 of them made up from special corrugated plastic (the kind they use in signs.) Well, I still have 140 of them, and they really do exactly what is intended. Maybe I can sell them at the local flea market. What do you think?

Anyway, enough of my update. Photos below. Enjoy!
