Default My first post!

Hey Guys,

So I ended up aquiring an Xb about a year ago. It was a hard decision because I was in the market for my first vehicle. Like most guys in there early 20s, I didnt want to go the normal route and search for a "sports" car. I wanted something more practical. Something to take on road trips without worrying about maintenance, something with plenty of interior room, inexpensive. Lets just say that after test driving an Xb. I was sold. After owning it for about a year, I could definetly say that Im pleased with it and couldnt be happier. The first thing my friends say when they come in is "holy crap! There is so much room in here!" lol. But I believe I got bit by the mod bug recently and its time to make this Xb "mine". Hopefully I can learn much about this car here. Thanks for reading my rant!!

Welcome to the site! We all pretty much feel the same about our xB's too.

As I'm sure you have found, there is a TON of information here about modding your box.

Welcome! The nice thing about starting to think mods is that it gives you time to line up all the things to be done when the weather gets better. Our B's are made for modding!
Have fun.

Welcome!

Hah, my buddy with a Audi S5 just said the same thing after getting a flat and having to figure out how to jack and take off his wheel, lol. They don't keep some things simple I guess.

Haha. His wheel probably rusted to his hub. You can take out all 5 lug bolts and the wheel still won't come off. Good car though. Kudos to him!
