Default Story of my old Scion XB that was wrecked (photos included)

About two years ago I got my first car, it was a blue scion xb, and it was a great day. Throughout the year I spent modding my box, I managed to get as far as Strobe system all around, 8000k HID kit, Kenwood touch screen, 18 inch flip down tv for the back, neon blue under glow, underglow in the interior foot wells, and blue glow plates. The theme I was going for was I'm Blue. It was written on the front/sides/and rear bumpers. A nice little touch. So last year I leave my house in the morning and something unusual is happening, construction, a very rare site for my neighborhood, so I go the other direction. Just as I get to my corner the inevitable happens. A Toyota Highlander blows through the stop signs doing about 35 and strikes my driver/front side. It was verry loud and there was alot of smoke. The airbags went off and the windshield cracked (as usual). The firemen arrived and all I heard them say was ''wow can we get anymore plastic''?. Anyway i was pulled out and taken to the hospital and within an hour or so I was released. I was so grateful I was ok. The Toyota Highlander was also Totalled, and the driver walked away without a scratch. By the time I got to my car my luck got worst, the car was completly robbed at the scene of the accident : /.
It bumbed me for a while but within 2 months later I went back out to Toyota and I bought a new Scion XB in white : ), I intend to continue my work and customize it, but this time I am going to make sure everyone gets to see it here on Scionlife.com and also get some new better ideas.
Here are some pics of the before and after along with a pic of my new one in white.

It's a shame to see a totalled box, but you should do well with the PW.

Look on the bright side. You got to "upgrade" to the best color.
Glad to hear you are all right.
