try a little bug and tar remover (found at any parts store) on those front end bugs. just wipe them off. I use to spend more time on the front end than the rest of car alone.

You know you drive an xB when,

-you do an install write up and list "un-snap" as a way of removing important parts

-you spend $100 on top of line car care products and still get swirls

-you forgot what your stock hubcaps looked like

-your insurance card says "Toyota Wagon"

-you topped out at 80mph!

-you have a list of "future mods" that never seems to go down, even as you keep modding

-you've given up on increasing horsepower

-every CEL has come on at some point

-you're sick of hearing "what does bB stand for?"

-in a strange twist, your girlfriend helped you shave YOUR box for a change!

YOU KNOW YOU DRIVE AN xB WHEN....

1. You smile as you pass the gas stations.

2. You pass other cars and all heads turn to catch a glimpse of the Toaster.

3. You get hammered with questions where ever you go about the Toaster.

4. You pass people walking and they stop, point and stare as you pass by.

5. You can do a 10 hr. drive and arrive to your destination feeling as good as you did before you left the house.

6. You see another Toaster and go "There is another smart person" but then think how it would look better if it was modded.

you now plan to leave 5min early to work/school/appointment/ect if you need to stop for gas because in the past, such trips has caused you to be late because of ppl asking questions and checking out the car.

you get mad if you see another xB and the driver doesnt wave

a roll of foam tape has found a home in your glove so you can fix annoying squeeks and rattles on the go.

Household items are used to do mods- example blow dryer - furnace filter

You can replace any part of your car from ebay

Driving your car is fun

You know you drive an xB when you hit a steep hill and feels like your pulling a boat at the same time
