Default My Scion's ready BUT....

It figures, my black Xb is ready to go today but we're getting a major snow storm and with the way these a**holes dump salt all over New York I'll wait a few days for the ____ to wash away. Few weeks ago had a nice chunk taken from my windshield, and the culprit was a large stone of salt. I'll have to wait although it's killing me. Heavy rain by Thursday should make it a safe bet.

yup, salt sucks, but that's what I get for going to school in NY I guess. No worries though, it's still a lot of fun driving around out here and having people constantly scoping out the box. I seem to be the first scion in town.

You California dudes don't know how lucky you are. You know we're going to have mega problems with salt, snow, ice and just general road ____ doing damage to our Xb's out east. Hey, but at least we don't get earth quakes!!

You got a snowstorm..........and I've been on my roof with no shirt on, sweating my nuts off, repairing my solar heating mats for my pool in 90+ degree weather. Nuts huh?

Don't feel too bad when I got mine a damn snow storm hit. I waited 3 days after and it still took the dealer 2 hours to dig the car out.

You poor freezing bastards, it's not all roses out here...

I practically burned my ___ yesterday sitting outside for lunch. The tiles were so hot! It's cooled down a bunch these last few days, only in the high 70's today...

The thing I can't figure out is why the hell everyone doesn't live out here :?: :?: :?:

Picked her up today despite 4 inches of snow in the forecast. And the reason why we don't live on the left coast? You have never experienced spring until you have spent a few months freezing your nuts off. Besides everyone I know who has moved out there only comes back again, you folks are just too weird...even for us new yorkers. :o

Waayyyyyyyy to much money for that kit. The blitz kit comes with a computer and can be had for $2800 from what my source tells me.
