Default Sizing UP the next GUYS XB.

In your Town when your driving around and you see another XB do you SIZE IT UP like ME.I can always spot the GAS owner from the TRUE XB owner.The TRUE XB owner is ALL about customizing his or her RIDE.Silly GAS owner XB'S are for TRICKING OUT not Gasing up.

You mean the guy that just bought it for the mileage vs the guy that bought it to mod. I guess I did both............

The way I see it... 1974, I'm too old to be fast, too young to be furious... perfect age for a cheeseburger in one hand, a Coke in the other and the dog can work the stick shift... get a beagle.

LOL, yeah right. I've talked to a few box owners since getting mine. Haven't met one yet that didn't have the sway bar, or maybe new springs. My header is on order and for christmas I'll get a custom exhaust done. If you had x-ray vision you might be surprised at the mods you dont see. The outside can stay normal though. I put a $4500 paint job on my other car when it was done, was so proud of it, and some twit keyed it. Don't want to go through that again. I need the box to look normal enough to go anywhere, park anywhere, and not attract the wrath of the haters. EDIT: Or as we used to say bacjk in NY, "Man... in the city you can't have nothing nice."

dude, that's not cool. people who keep their rides stock do so for a reason. please don't bash other people's tastes or decisions like that.

I don't wanna get my xB broken into like my Hummer was broken into. I live in manhattan but where i park my cars - the area *SORTA* sucks.... so that's why I don't have rims, a system, etc in mine... It's a good way to keep down costs too... that money can go into other things... ;]

I am not a member of the target market GenY. I am not prone to ostentatious display. I mod my Box to suit my tastes. Most of my mods are not readily visible to the casual observer. I prefer to turn heads with a clean line rather than a pimped out ride. but that's just me.

I would like to mod my ride to look a little more "pimped out" *ahem* sniper series body kit *ahem*. but currently its stock on the outside except for the grill and h techs if that counts. The car looks stock due to the black color. however I do have an intake, headers, exhaust, pulley, and sway bar.

I do like to size up any other xbs i meet around town give a little rev here and there but unfortunately they all seem to be old ladies. So I guess that makes me the king of old ladies in town? booyah?
