Default I got one, unexpectedly - #725!

What a week. Moved from NYC to California on Sunday evening, happened to have seen a Toyota dealer in Palo Alto on Tuesday afternoon, left 2 hours later with RS 2.0 #725. My first car! 26 miles on him ("It's a boy!"). Such a strange egg! High seats, distant steering wheel, shy engine - but it's the only car I've seen that I could ever want. And now he's mine. I always rolled my eyes a bit at the new owners - but now I'm gushing like a little school girl on her first date. Now I have to drive him down to L.A. on Monday, and my move is complete. Thanks for all the info on this site, everybody - you really helped me make an important decision. (Gotta change my profile now!)

Congrats! That's pretty much how I got #453 as well, saw it on the lot and made it mine. 280 miles on it since I picked it up with 38 last Thursday. I love this car!

oh, and go update your profile ;)

I got my RS02 quite by accident too. My minivan died on a Friday on the way to work. Saturday I KNEW I had to have a new car. My co-worker had bought an xA about 6 months earlier, so I went to the Toyota dealership and drove out in #1071 3 hours later. I do love my little car and have gotten lots of compliments.

I found my xA online and fell in love with it at first sight. Our city has a Scion dealer, but they weren't going to get any RS's in... I knew I had to have that car, so they found one at a dealership in Alabama and sent it in to me in a few days. Now I'm the proud owner of a 2005 Scion xA RS 2.0 #116 with 1,000 miles on it now due to cruising. My very first car in MY name. Might I add congrats to all the other Scion owners, especially the RS xA owners. I'd like to find someone around my area with a Scion. So far they are slim, but we have a fixed up xB and a fixed up tC, and soon to come, my xA.

Anyways, I'm glad to be apart of Scionlife now and hope to meet some new people along the way.

Congrats! Some day, you might own both...or, as some have done, all three!

That is my goal.

Yeah, I got #8 just after a dealer trade because I wanted a manual. My jaws dropped when I noticed that it was #8 lol. That totally rocks.
