2126 Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Mike, purchasing the BX is a sure sign you are spending too much time in the sun....and way too practicle for a HYBRIDZ member to own. Was it just a senior moment??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Notice that there is never anyone in sight in broad daylight in any of the pic's. Hummm, does it stink? Is it too bright and everyone is protecting themselves from the damaging ray's? Hey, become a bread delivery guy for some extra buck's in the morning! That way you can put the rainbow on there and get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fl327 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I like it, (not in yellow), but I like the platform, they remind me of those MRWD minivans I rode around a bunch in when I was in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 you know.... I saw an add for an 85 toyota mini van yesterday.. $350, needs brakes. I think I'll pick it up, slap on some big a$$ rims w/low pros, and paint the thing bright yellow.. It'll get the same amount of attention, comparable gas milage and it'll be paid for for probly less than one of your monthly payments! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 go ahead.. alot of ppl copy my style all the time, so one more wont hurt mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 What does xb stand for? My mind is running rampant here! Do the DC sport exhausts make it faster than a regular xb or does a regular xb come with a straight pipe? Seriously, what does one of those things cost and why was there a limited number production? Does Jay leno have one? If Jay leno has one then I want one too. I think you shoud call MTV and ask them to pimp your ride, or better yet call Jesse James and have him lift it, make it 4wd, and put a blown AMC 401 in it.

mario_82_ZXT Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Pimp my ride already did one. They felt sorry for a kid that had 3 cars WELDED and GLUED together to make one crappy one that they bought him an xB instead. Base is somewhere around $14k Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 That's a SWEET car' date=' or would be, if you were an 18 y/o asian chick.[/b'] all your posts will now begin "so this bitch in the new beetle rev'd on me" Your car's so ugly, I bet you have to sneak up on the hose just to get a little air in your tires LMAO!!! :lol: why was there a limited number production? I can think of several reasons...one very obvious one... :twak: In any case Mike I am glad you like it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest comeandzpa Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Don't worry Mike, I'll stick up for you here (even if it doesn't help my post count...) The xB's base at $14,195. Great milage, good space (especially rear-seat room, its ridiculous). Yes, it's ugly as sin...and I love it. We pimped one out here at work to display at shows, etc. I'm trying to get the pictures onto our website but for some reason it won't let me...I'll post them when I get them though, its worth a look. Release Series 2.0 is because its the second special edition of the xB. The first edition ran close to the start of production, and was an off-orange color. Each Scion model gets its own special release features. The xA just ran its first RS, featuring 17" Enkei wheels, a sport grille, a sunroof, and "Absolutely Red" paint (and it was). The tC is coming out with its first, featuring the same Absolutely Red paint color, a sport grille, 18" rims, and a few other trim options. Why feature a special release series? Uh.....I don't really know, actually. Probably because its easier to sell a "special edition" model than a regular model. Some of the better nicknames people have given the xB: the short bus that bigass brick-looking thingy the breadtruck the milktruck the armored car, only not as big and not nearly as cool...or armored the flying cinderblock Did I mention that the one we pimped out retails for $24,622? Yeah, that's right....almost as much in modifications as in original cost. The modifications: 18" Exel wheels w/ hankook tires 1 3/4" lowering sport springs Mesh Grille Rear Spoiler Clarion AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA head unit Upgraded speakers 3 10" woofers 4 5.8" Monitors in the headrests (for the aforementioned DVD player) We have it playing a Scion video w/ jazzy music right now, I can hear it all the way back in the office. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 For nicknames, you forgot "The Toaster". Mike, you should put a sticker on there that says, "got toast?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
