Traded in my 08 Chevy Cobalt for an 06 Polar White xB

here's the picture you were trying to post...

congrats on the purchase. i have the same one, same color. of course started as just a commuter but you'll quickly get the bug to do slight modifications by spending time here. welcome aboard.

That's just odd. The URL to the image is correct, but you can't link to it through the forums. It looks like the bone stock pick of the PW.

Yeah..It's hella dreary outside so I'm gonna wait for the sun to come out and I can do a thorough cleaning. Then the pics will arrive. I've been on this website before when I had my BSP tC but I sold that for the cobalt to go for the cheaper payments. BUT now that I'm established I'm good to be back in the scion family!

Awesome! I miss the can-do spirit of scion owners!! Especially the boys and girls on here! The folks I talked to on the cobalt enthusiast site would say, "Ahh, Let's get together this weekend for a ride," on Monday and by Friday everyone would back out and it's be like 2 people just hanging out. Not cool...

take out the glove box(just squeeze the tabs) and you will find a empty filter holder there, put a filter in (Rav4 is same filter... or look up the DIY posts here on SL for making your own... a lot cheeper)
also you did know that you can slide the passenger seat all the way forward, remove the headrest,then lay the seat back all the way back down to match the height of the rear seat cushion ... and you have an instant bedroom......

when I head home(270 mile commute one way) after driving the big rig for several weeks I sometimes need to take a nap... just grab my bed roll and a pillow.
Of course you have to get used to the "WTF" looks when you wake up in the rest areas...
