My xB's
 
I'd like to show off the xB part of my name. Meet Toaster. He's a 2006 Camouflage Metallic Scion xB. I bought him in Killeen, TX in November 05. His build month was October. :) He's had a few things done to him since then. He's lowered on Tanabe DF210 lowering springs, has a F1 Sportline lip kit, 17" Nex-O Hyper Silver M20 wheels, painted engine cover and interior and leather interior by Scion Shoppe and TYC tail lights. Here's some pics:

^^ looks good! :thumbsup: i like that low but not too low ride height
you got. :nod: huh, DF210's huh? i just ordered some GF210's for my Fit
the other day. :lol:



is that a slightly taller profile tire you are using vs wat you typically
see used on 17's for the xB? i like the thicker sidewalls on those cars.

How do you win the "Most Concerned Parent" award? Are you an obsessive-compulsive detailer? (we can always use a few more of "our kind" over in the detailing forum)

Thanks. :) The tire profile looks good but it's too tall for the fender wells and rubs on the inner fender liner. I'm getting new tires that are the same size as my dad's tires.

The most concerned parent award is from the Scion Miami contest. Scion paid for 300 owners for a trip to Miami for two days. It included airfare, 2 nights hotel saty in 500 dollar a night hotel, and all Scion events that included us being the first 300 people to see the new models. :) It was a fun event. But anyway, about the award, I got that because my dad was worried about me going to Miami alone and he wasn't going to let me go. After alot of talking to the coordinators of the event they let him go with me and I ended up winning the award for having the most concerned parent.

Oh, and I'm kinda an OCD. I was on that day of that show (first pic). The car was the cleanest it has ever been. What sucked is that I didn't even win anything and I was beat by and xB with nothing done to it. :sad: It was a pretty fun show though.

:thumbsup: Beautiful cars, Stephanie! You take such good care of them. Very nice. :nod::grin::cool:

kenchan Dec 9, 2007 06:45 AM

+1, all very nice. :nod:

MINIxB Dec 9, 2007 11:49 AM

Thank you. :) I've got some more things planned for my xB but the Mini is getting all the attention right now. I just found the pictures of me when I first got my xB. Very exciting moment. My dad surprised me with it. He was hiding behind a tree so I couldn't see him at first when I walked out of the house. It was awesome!

kenchan Dec 9, 2007 12:59 PM

wow, you got a nice dad! :thumbsup:

MINIxB Dec 9, 2007 01:29 PM

LOL thanks. :) My sister had an Altima and I didn't have a car so he bought the xB for me. Then he bought his a year later and then my sister sold her Nissan and bought her xB later that year (06).

Laugh all you want, MISTER.

When my attorney's have you and Miss Stephanie served for copyright infringement, we'll see who is laughing then ! :nod: :nod:


:grin:

MINIxB Dec 9, 2007 06:28 PM

No copyright. My letter's aren't the same as yours. :)

CR&PW&JB Dec 9, 2007 06:33 PM

Close enough ! :mad:

Tell you what, we'll not bother with all the attorneys and courts. We can settle this out of court, for say.... $600,000 ??

:lol: looks like he got dusted by a xB with his window down.

CR&PW&JB Dec 10, 2007 01:36 PM

Well, I think xB's are a lot like Martha Stewart... it's a love or hate proposition and not much in between.

I've had a few xB's act uppity around me. Such funny little cars, disappearing in my rear view mirror.

Exactly. :grin:

everyone else quit making fun of the xB's. They didn't do anything to you. I don't go around making fun of your Mini's.
