This was my Original Sweetheart Xb LE

I kick myself now when I think of all the little trinkety things I should have grabbed off of my first xB after my accident. Just dumb little items that are damn hard to replace or find. Sigh. For instance, I see that you had at least your passenger side rooftop rain strip thing.

And wiper fluid tank cap.

And hood prop rod plastic clamp. (Did make me make a 3D printed version, though.)

And rear cargo shock absorber covers.

Yadda yadda yadda. All sorts of silly things you don't realize are important until you need to replace them...

You are so RIGHT! I just found a Toyota plant 20mins from me …. So XB got a new Bra to start with. The bike rack I remembered that I was gonna need one when the car was totaled by the insurance company. All in All, I’m feeling better now. But it’s still gonna take time to get over the LE I had before. I remember coming out of the car wash and stopping at the gas station the looks I get from others. Envying eyes and sometimes a note “do I wanna sell it” type. The other good thing about XB’s for me is that the previous owners become like family. And I can tell when part ways there’s a “am I sure I should have let go so easy” look. lol peAce y’all
