Hi people, jest joined the site. It looks good.
So I guess I should tell you about my xB life.
It all started about a month ago ( Feb. 29 / 08 ), I go with my sister to Toyota of North Hollywood, to buy her a new Yaris. As we're walking to the Finance Dept. to sign the papers, in roils this Gold thing. So, I go and check it out, after a few min's looking it over I note it's a Release Series 5.0! I go and get the sales guy and grill him on the car, then I grill his boss. It terns out that it came into the port of Long Beach that morning, was put on a truck and moving by 9am (GPS tracking), then delivered to the dealership at 11:30am, prep, washed, waxed and put on the showroom floor an hour later, right when I walked in at 12:30, as if it was destiny! Needles to say, after siting in it and a test drive, I fell in love!!! The color! The shape! The Inside appointments! So I bought it there and then. I drove it home a couple hours later
Well lets see, it's a stock xB RS 5.0 Gold Rush Mica with a Manual Trans and the Pioneer Premium radio upgrade. I want to put the TRD 19" alloy Gray Mica wheels, TRD lowering springs, struts/shocks, Strut Tower Brace, Brakes and the Heavy Duty Clutch. I don't want non-Toyota parts.
I've Started a group called "California Gold Rush" as a Registry, Info Swap and Meet Organizer for California and U.S. RS 5.0 owners. No web site yet, but it's being built as I type this.
