Got one at last!

Got one at last!
Finally I am the proud owner of a blue xB. This car is amazing! I thought it was cool when I test drove one, but after today's innaugural drive from Maryland back to Philadelphia, almost everything about it exceeded my initial impressions - even the color :D This was my first time with it out on the highway, and I really love the way it's geared - downshifting up hills and screaming along at 4,000 rpms is quite fun, and to me the engine sounds very pleasant. And the turning radius is incredible!
The only thing I can't stand is how clunky the car shifts from first to second - YUCK. I know I'm not the first to complain of this...hopefully it will loosen up at least a little over time...
Btw, this forum is not only informative, it's infectious! Only a month ago, I didn't have the slightest interest in cars. Next thing you know, my poor old Civic hatchback is stalling, I'm buying a new Scion, springs are on their way, and I'm looking for new rims! LOL

I initially ordered one through Central City Toyota (Philadelphia), but ended up buying from Koons Annapolis after waiting was taking too long. I didn't get farther than Baltimore before someone next to me at a stop light had me roll down the window and tell them what I was driving...hehehe this is going to be fun...
As for springs, I ordered the Tein H-Techs. Lookin' forward to 'em.
I'm actually in Bala Cynwyd (Montgomery County), but since no one outside of the area's heard of it, I always name-drop Philly
