Hi, just stopping in to say hello. The wife and I picked up a 2011 XB in Stingray Metallic today. Since our last 3 family vehicles have been minivans, we decided to go a little smaller now that one child is out of the house and the second one will be leaving this summer. I joined the forum because I do all of my own maintenance and repairs, and have always enjoyed being a member of a forum for every vehicle I've owned.:smile:

Cool. Welcome.

Awesome bud. I just joined not too long ago, and I like you feel the same way about being a member of the forums for each vehicle I've owned. Always fun when people collaborate.

Although I'm new, I'd still like to say hello and welcome!

Welcome to the forum. Over the years, I've had the shop manual for most of my cars. Now that I belong to this one, I no longer have to spend a LOT to get the latest book for the B. If I have a question or am concerned as to what has to be done, I just ask on this great site.

Welcome to the 'hood.

SRM no longer a made color. Too expensive.

kind of a funny statement! If it was popular, why not just make it an up-charge?
Anyway, thanks for the welcome!

Welcome! I have the same year and color.

Not sure how popular it is/was, by the numbers made wise, and dont know the cost either. But I do know our paint jobs are all pretty bad regardless of the color.

Snapped a quick pic in the drive.

Looks awesome! I have the 2013 "standard" touch screen radio in my 2012 and love it.

 

[bigbird1971]

Yeah, this one doesn't have the touch screen setup, but since we've never owned a vehicle with one we won't miss it.
Who knows, since we tend to keep our vehicles for a long time, maybe we'll upgrade at some point.
