Default Thanks for the fun and memories...

So the B is gone tomorrow. It was traded in for an 08 VW R32.

Although the xB frustrated me towards the end, it doesnt take away from all the great times I had because of it. I met a ton of cool people, some by name others simply by their cars. I traveled to Miami, and Las Vegas for SEMA on Scion's dime. I was invited to countless Scion Events, both the advertised kind on ScionVIP.com and more exclusive events for specific owners. I got free nights in hotels, gift certificates, and even a PSP. Scion and the B def gave me some lifelong memories that I wont forget. This community is crazy strong and hopefully all the new Scion owners will realize how good they have it.

Thanks to everyone I met in my B for making my Scion experience so great!!!

I almost leased an 08 R32 before I bought my XB, but I just couldn't get over it being an automatic (DSG) only... either way the .:R is a cool car. Enjoy!

Does that mean your done with those strut backing plates I sent you before you paid for them, cause you needed them really fast, but then you never sent the money you said you would? Enjoy that VW, they are badass.

Yeah, but you go out of your way to help someone out and they screw you. it wasn't the money, it was the principal. all i asked for was the shipping, i was giving him the plates free.

The karma could be that he is going to be fixing the VW, cause the are not the most reliable cars out there.

To be honest, I forgot about this. I ended up getting some plates from zdawg913 the next day. I looked around the garage today while looking for other xB stuff and found the box you sent, unopened, still wrapped in a plastic bag.

Not trying to screw you and I dont mind sending you the box back with some money for your trouble. I thought you never sent them so it slipped my mind. I apologize.


And if I was worried about paying $$$ for oil changes or money in general, I wouldnt have bought a R32. Wouldve stayed with the B.

From what I hear about VW, they are fun to drive but also have a lot of problems. Don't know anyone with the R32, but the ones with Jettas and Golfs have had various electrical problems and lots of squeaks and rattles. I'd rather have a sti or evo.
