NO MODS!?

say it ain't so...

Pace yourself and install slowly, one mod at a time... you will come like a thief in the night. She won't notice anything!

It's kinda like how we never notice the french manicure or the waxed eyebrows...

Default No mods

My Bride said the same thing The Scionlife keeps me sane I know I'm not alone.

Every mod I've done, she wants for hers. Even the tint strip on the front that looked stupid last week. I just keep going on mine, and later she wants the same thing for her box.
Still can't get her to like the sound fast tail pipe I get to put the insert back in tomorrow

LOL...we are doing the exact opposite. I have an xA that I love. I'll have it paid off in about a year and a half. As soon as I send in the last payment, we're getting my wife an xB! She needs more cargo room because her job requires her to haul stuff once in a while. She HATES minivans, and with gas prices on the rise, she doesn't want an SUV. So the xB makes perfect sense. She likes them, but the only color that she really cares for is the Solar Yellow. She even asked me how much it would cost to buy the xB and just get it painted right away!

And to keep you busy while you are in the "NO MOD's" time period, there are plenty of "hidden mods" to be accomplished. Have fun with it.
