My insurance co. calls it a carry all

 My 08 came with Bridgestone Turanza EL400's. Only have 5300 mi. on them but so far no complaints

 Lone Wolf...

Yes I notice exactly the same thing. Am so glad you posted as I thought I was just imagining things.

 when your driving down the street and the guy,or gal, in front of you steps on the brake as they near the green light at the intersection ahead. And after the light has turned yellow they speed up, leaving you stuck at the red light.

As I am going to be 62 this August my two sons are grown men . They remembered their father today with an Ipod that I can load all my old geezer rock into, once they show me how,. It was a great fathers day spent with my two sons, my two grand sons and my wife who also chipped in for the Ipod. Life in scion land is good.

 HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL YOU FATHERS OUT THERE.

I found some cool knobs at flame ball.com and there's a neat 8ball shift knob with 8mmx1.25 threads in it at brand sport.com. I bought an 8 ball at Pep boys but its kinda chinzy lookin' but it will do until I order one from either company.

 By the way shancopp I watched your hubbys video. Very kool. Best of luck to you and your soldier. Tell him this old Viet Nam vet SALUTES HIM.

I've got the classic silver,auto trans. Much easier during rush hour on the xpressway. My wife has an 05 Xb in the darker silver that was offered at the time. Hers is also an automatic.

My wife and I are over 50. She has an 05 and I have an 08

 I thought you went with thinner oil in the winter cause thick oil gets thicker the colder it gets making it hard for the engine to turn over when you try to start it in the morn.

I've had my Xb for 1 month. It has 1400 mi. on the odometer. Yesterday I filled the tank  then made a short errand around town and then went to my sons house, about 35 mi one way on the tollway. This morn I went bak to the gas station. the trip meter read 83.7mi. She took 2.7 gal of gas. This comes to 31 mpg. the computer was reading a little over 31mpg avg.
 Not bad. Not as good as my Honda Civic, but not bad.

 Got my silver Xb on the 25th of Apr.and so far I'm lovin it. My wife has  a 2005 Xb and she couldn't be happier.

So urbansix, did you get your grille from figure eng. Hows it look was it easy to install and what was the price.
I'm lookin at their grille in flat black for my classic silver Gen2 Xb. I think it 'll look cool

I bought a 4x8x1/2in. sheet of supper tuff foam insolation at home depot for about 10 bucks. I put the rear seats down and moved the front pass. seat forward . I cut the sheet to fit from the front seats to as far back as I could get without interferring with the hatch. I pick the bike up and shove it in there. Works like a charm and protecs the iterior from scratches and any mud or grease.

 By the way I've had this car since Fri 4-25 and I really love it.

Well I did it! Bought my gen2 Xb from Elmhurst Toyota Scion  in Ill. Dealer gave me 1800 for my civic with a slipping trans. From what I gather this is a common problem with 01 2&3 civics and the fix is a 2G and up new trans. so I guess I did OK.
 As I pulled out of the dealer I couldn't get the head lights to come on so I pulled right back in to the serevice dept. Turns out some where along the line nobody put bulbs in the headlights. No big deal. So I've got my classic silver gen2Xb and I'm a pretty happy camper right now. Tomorrow I get to look at the manual and try to figure out where everything is and how it works.
  Good luck to all you new Scion owners out there.

I'm kinda leaning toward the classic silver

 Rye guy, yah I know exactly how you feel. I don't see the sense in putting a grand into it then the dealers offer turns into 3000. Hopefully maybe the'll offer me 2G as is.
