We picked up our manual RS3 last Tueday night! We'd been looking forever and finally grabbed one. Got it at Jack Sherman Toyota in Binghamton NY and there were two on the lot. Love those headrest monitors. I plan on riding in the back of this car more than any other.....

Will look at mods after the flood waters go down.....Have some good ideas already thanks to ScionLife.

I got my 06 Black Sand Pearl on Monday. A 300% improvement from my old 1998 Ford Craptor.

I added on the Bazooka sub, 15 inch alloys, red LED lighting, Scion Security, armrest, cargo organizer, and floormats. Paid $17900 for the whole thing. Added on Lojack and the 100K mile extended warranty.

The first non-dealer customization I'm going to tackle this weekend is installing my Icom IC-2720 Ham radio.

I picked up #73 Envy Green a littl over a week ago and loving every minute of it.

Upgrades included new catback with a Dynaflow, projector headlights, euro tail, and an AEM intake.

More to come.

I got my xB last night. Salsa red five speed. My wife has a 2006 Thundercloud. I got rid of my lancer ralliart for a box. Best choice I have made car wise.

i was looking to buy a matrix, and test drove the xb as well. looked at price difference and the fact that it had abs, traction and i plain loved driving it! wish it had curtain airbags and not so tinny back doors though.

i bought mine same day, and took it home. i couldn't wait for the srp, which i wanted.

this is the weirdest thing, i have never dreamt or thought about, or plain love a car like i love my b! i've had cars and motorbikes, but they never inspired anywhere near the same kind of devotion and obsession!!! (my friends think i'm crazy, maybe i am!)


it looks unique, cute and so boxy. i love it! to me she's just the "b", my bay-b...

Default I love mine

I have had mine for 3 weeks and 600 miles later, I love it more each day I drive it. I had to get used to it being slower than my Tacoma when I left a red light, but I have gotten used to it. My 2nd tank of gas I got 29 MPG and that's driving 65 - 70 mph most of the time. I only got 18 with my Taco. I have added a K&N Air Filter. I love the Bazooka subwoofer. WOW I can't believe how great it makes the stock radio sound! I can't wait to start fixing it up. My 10 year old son thinks it's cool and hopes it will be his in 6 years!

I lost faith in Honda. So I bought a new toaster a month or two back. I love it. I have wanted one since they came out. The best part is that they are cheaper new than they are used.

I moved my plans to buy my box up by 4 months when I saw the dealer had one in Salsa Red on the lot ready to go. I went to sleep at night and kept hearing it call my name. And the dealer was 40 miles away. LOL. Had it about a week now and I keep looking out the window and can't believe it'smine!
