2 years ago at the international car show I fell in love with a quirky little -not really a van, not really an SUV - box of a car. My family thought it was the ugliest thing they had ever seen. To me it looked a bit like the CatBus from "My Neighbor Totoro" had sprung to life.
Saturday I adopted a 2006 Black Cherry Pearl xB from Scion of Greenville in South Carolina. I am so in love with this car.
It came with some fancy rims on it but we arent keeping them. There are things I would love to do to it but fancy rims just arent something that blow my skirt up. It has foglights, cruise control, tinted windows, billet grills (3 of them), the Ipod stereo (which is just too cool). I cant get over how roomy it is.
I hope in the near future to get the cargo net, a spoiler, a roof rack (would it look stupid to have a spoiler AND a roof rack? as much as I want it to be cool, I have 2 small kids and this is my Mom-mobile). Lets see, what else, Oh I have no idea what they are called but the chrome strips on the inside of the doors, the rubber strip for the back bumper. Yes I have had it 2 days and have already got a picture in my mind of what it will grow up to be.
Thankfully my husband works at the Toyota lot as a service writer so we get a discount!!
Do you all name your cars? Ive been trying to think of a good name.
Anyway, I figured there were clubs out there for owners because its such an awsome and fun car. Im glad to have found you all (I followed a link from a LiveJournal Community)!
