I just don't understand why people don't take care of their cars... if i had a door ding I would immediately get it fixed!

I see that all the time here. I have a few door dings but I've been very busy and haven't found the time to take care of them. But I do care for my car. I wouldn't have spent $900.00 on it if I didn't care!

I understand when someone is busy but, it happens way to often that people let stuff happen to their cars and just leave it that way. The worst thing i ever did was right after i got my box and i was cleaning it under a tree and i went to pull it back onto the driveway and i scraped the well with the back quarter panel that was the hardest thing i had to come in and tell my mom. and 75$ later all better

In this forum you don't care about your car unless you wave at every xb or spend thousands of dollars a month on it. That's how it seems lately.

That must suck to split a corner and see the left cheek of an xB ripped to shreds like that. That was seriously a date rape drug...

Jokes aside though, if you're going to post a picture of an xB that you saw on the side of the road, regardless the condition and unless you were given the consent, I would block the license plate. If Johnny (assuming the guy who owns this xB is named Johnny *if it's a guy at all) decides to visit Scionlife one sunny day and came across that, it could be a bad day for you my friend. Don't mean to ruin the nature of the post though. Carry on...

What are you a lawyer? Get real. Tag numbers are public info. He didn't post up the address and full legal name to go with it. Jeeesh. If the guy didn't want a pic of his plate he needs to park that ugly azzed box in the back yard till it's fixed. That should be illegal to display your box in that shape.

Wow, maybe its just my obsession with my vehicle; but if my car was wrecked or badly damaged, no one here will see it... I'll have that thing fixed the next available day.

I remember curbing an axis rim one morning before work and I spent 2 hours at work looking for repair shops. I took off work two days later and had that bad boy repaired within 3 days. That was a RIM, imagine my bumper... I'm talking next day.

LOL, I'm no lawyer and right you are... it definitely needs to be parked a little more inconspicuously than that.

I know tags are public; but I just thought it was illegal to post a pic of someone else's tag on a public forum without their permission. Hell I wouldn't know...

Yea I know. I kinda threw it way out there. I even gave the *potential* owner a damn name. HA! I guess I get the idea because I see so many people post pics of their ride; but block their tags out like "you're not going to find where I live so you can steal what you see in this forum!"

I've actually never seen a wrecked xB in person. I did, however, see a PW (polar white) one that was so dirty it started to turn PY (____ yellow)!!!

PW is actually called Polar white. Pearl white would have been nice tho.
