While driving my work mates to lunch last week, one of them commented that I owned
a little bus. Everyone started laughing. When I pointed out that I was the driver and
they where the passengers, things got real quiet.

BumbleBox, the only thing about your car that will make it "girlie" is the Hello Kitty sticker you plan to put on it. If you ask me the paint job your planning sounds kinda cool. Its too bad that the box can't handle nos though. That could be your stinger!

Germain Scion of Naples has 2 sitting on their lot right now. One manual and one automatic. Just picked up ours from there last week #993. I think it's funny that dealership got a total of 4 Solar Yellows so far.

Don't stress of the 5 speed, two weeks and you won't even think about it, and as manuals go this one is very forgiving. Then you'll be on the other side of the fence never want to auto again. My girlfriend refuses to even think about an auto and she has bad shoulder and should not be driving manuals if she can avoid it. (doctors "suggestion"). She'll write with her left and switch her mouse hand but not give up her 3 footed driving. She'll even drive my Probe witha short shifter on it so low you can scrape you hand on the console. So notchy that even with a 2 pound shift **** you still have to really hit it hard and she'll get out rubbing her shoulder but grinning ear to ear.
As for the original question on the post. Dairly driver but I'll make if my own. Wheels sound, and a few accents.
Number 1111. That's 15 in binary,
(I don't know why I find that so funny.)

1st mod was painting license tag frames black, 18 " wheels and tires arrived next morning by UPS, console a week later, still thinking about which ventshades, sunroof and other mods to make, removed Scion & XB logo from tailgate last night, was going to leave it, but people were baffled at to what it was before, now they won't know @ all, (also wanted to do it before paint fade) just over 1,000 miles, gas mileage 24.9(85 mph) extended run, to 31 normal up to 33 putting around.

That's all I've got planned for now... Don't know if I will ever get all of it done, but I would love to!

Sounds like you've got a great plan so far with mods that you want to do. I think it's great that you are going for a girly look. after all you are a girl. Do things that you are going to like and who cares what anyone else thinks. Its great to see more women buying Boxes.....

Too bad there aren't more women like you here in phoenix. I've seen a few cute gals driving box's but see more guys than girls driving them. Its pretty hot seeing a cutie (female that is) driving a box.

#214 here. We've had it since March 5th with dealer add-ons of red interior lighting, Hotchkis strut bar, fog lights, Scion alarm, silver OBX pedal covers, floor mats and rear cargo mat. As of April 15th, we have added 17" Konig Unknown rims with 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes 4 rubber, 2" Gold-Line drop, red neon engine bay lighting, painted the front brake calipers red, and yellow vinyl overlays on rear hatch struts. So much more planned but gonna have to wait until next year.
Here it is bone stock:

i have # 395
Mine's a daily driver as well so i'm keeping it simple
As my first mods, i cleared the headlights, and shaved the rear emblems.
2nd, i've ordered some 18"x7.5" Gloss Black w/polished lip Arceo Suzuki-Star's w/ 215/35-18 nanking NS-II's. And also i've ordered some Tanabe DF210 lowering springs (both will be arriving this week)
My next mod will def be with the I.C.E-- Hidden subs, pop up screen dvd/cd/mp3 player, and a fold down plasma screen in the dome for the peeps in the back seat.

I'm thinkin' about buyin' #692 from the first Toyota dealership in the USA. It's an automatic, which I prefer. I am surprised my wife likes the color and the cloth, since we are leather people. I do have one question for all of you. Will the RS 2.0 hold their resale value better than the other xBs?
