yeah man - you wanna hear the best part? my cars (hummer + xb) are under my mothers name and that's how much we're f'in paying for the box!@!!! it would have been much higher for me if i got a policy under my name so i said F that - it's under her name and i drive it everywhere. im going to keep it under her name until i turn 48! lolololol! jk - but you get what i mean....

insurance is ____ing ridiculous... like chris rock says: "insurance should be called 'in case ____ happens.' and in case ____ doesnt happen, shouldn't i get my ____ing money back each year!?!?!?"

hahahahahhaa - it's all good tho. i bought my xB 1.5 years ago for $16,700 out the door (taxes, no options). i bought it out in cash so it's mine right now. im going to keep this thing forever!!! F fancy luxury cars. in manhattan, all i do is ____ing worry when i park my hummer because haters are everywhere. with the box, i dont care if it gets nicked or scratched! not worrying about my car when i park in a shady place is ____ing priceless!

If you are going to have cheap S.Techs or the header, let me know...

The new xB is nice. My mom just picked up a Nautical Blue Metallic (I think that's it), and I drove it around for a while. More room, little flashier with the electronic gauges, but the things I really liked were the slap shifter on the automatic (wife doesn't like manuals, got an automatic, and it kills me when I'm going up a hill and it starts switching between 3rd and 4th. I just want to smack it into 3rd to stay), the more solid feel of the car, and the interesting compartments above the spare tire...

Anyway, good choice. Only thing I don't really like about the car is that it doesn't have quite the feel of an original xB.

What a pain!! I have everything I felt like taking off. I'm going to list in the classifieds soon. I'm headed to the dealer right now.

Sorry but I didn't take the Teins off or the header. They would have been more trouble than I felt like putting forth in the heat.

Ah well... that's a shame. Enjoy the new almost-box!
