My New Black Box
Sunday, August 02, 2009 4:48 PM
Well, thanks to the "Cash for Clunkers" program, I finally go rid of my 1997 Pathfinder. I pick up my brand new Black Sand Pearl Scion xB tomorrow night! No options/extras now, but that will come in time. I'm wicked excited to pick it up. I haven't bought a car simply because it was enjoyable in years.

I apologize for the cell phone pics:

Not my taste in cars, but nice job on picking it up. I'm a bigger fan of the XAs, too bad they quite making them but at least my wife has one.

Sticker price is $17,370. Scion is like Saturn used to be -- pure pricing, no negotiation. I honestly didn't feel bad paying that, though, as you get A LOT for the money. Look at it this way. It uses the same drive train as the Camry, is roomier, cooler looking, and more comfortable. But it's $5k less than the Camry. I'm VERY happy with the purchase, in all aspects.

Yeah, the 2.4L in the xB is a snappy engine. Very much leaves a smile on your face.

god I hate that guy. I hope that when he dies, it is from some over the top BS conspiracy that he always seems to think. Why doesn't that dip@!#$ just move to a different country? He can take his foil hat with him too. I can't believe people take him seriously.
