Default Coming to the end of an era?

Unless something changes I am starting to dismantle the XB next week for parting out ....going back to almost stock for sale or trade...I don't think I am going to like the XB2 or XD so it looks like a Soul or a cube.... The box has 110,000 miles and it looks like the time to move on......unless I can't bring myself to do it

The Soul is nice, but i dont fit in it. I find it to have a lot less room inside then the xB1.

Good luck on the sale.

The Soul is kinda cool but the Cube is the only other vehicle I could see replacing my xB.

mannn ... it's a pity.
i'm actually thinking about the same thing within the year ... i really dont want to part with the box, but starting a new job and stuff, can't afford to keep the box if i get around to another car... let us know what happens.

that sucks. I'd find a low mileage gen 1 if something happened to mine, or i'd go with the Cube over a gen 2 or XD. If you part out, i'd possibly be interested in your coilovers.

GL with the sale man. I recommend the Cube if you are looking at those.

dude.. I wouldn't do it. This sounds like something you would regret down the road.. "ahh I should have never got rid of the box, I put so much time and $$ into it"

I about sold my 5.0 GT but decided I knew I would regret it, so she's under cover until her time comes around to be fine tuned.

But for something in exchange, then yeah.. a Cube over the Soul any day.

if you have the space and $$ for insurance to spare ... then keep it. if not, it's hard to let go, but it's just gotta be done ...
