Default Rodland Scion xB

So, I've been visiting Rodland Scion in Everett, WA for my test drives and such, and they have an xB that they modified to demonstrate what can be done. I raved about it else where and promised to post pics. Well, the stars finally aligned and here they are.

The vehicle has almost every conceivable option plus a cool paint job and leather seats. This is a very cool car. If you're interested, contact Mike Massey. Their website is http://www.RodlandScion.com.

We'll start with a standard 3/4 shot (load pic):


And now straight on the nose(load pic):


Down low, on the passenger side (load pic):


And one of the back end (load pic):


Here's a close up of the paint detail (load pic):


A few shots of the seats (load pic):


(load pic)


And lastly, an action shot as Mike drives the xB into the show room (load pic):


It's a nice looking car. If you want all the bells and whistles, and don't mind someone else doing the work, this would be the ticket.

pretty nice i wish we could do something like that over here on Maui, but too much money and in the end it would be hard to sell something that modified on a small island. very nice setup and super clean, i like how they chose the wire looking type rims to kinda match the two tone theme.

haha it's hard too sell here, It's a 30K Xb right now! But I do love it, and I think mike did a great job with the car. I'm thinking about putting some white puddle lamps on it as well. :-)

I don't understand because they're showing up for me on my work machine. (Which has no connection to where the pics are hosted.) All the pics are 640-by-something @72 pixels/inch, which yields ~75kb per photo. If you're at 56k, sorry. It may just take some time.

You could load the pics independent of the page by pasting the url into a new window.

Also, Comcast (where they're hosted) has been doing upgrades recently, and I did have to wait before uploading them until they were done. If the issues persist, I'll look into another host.

Personally, I think you can spend a lot less and have it look a lot better. IMO, a simple 5 Axis Kit, TRD springs, and the right rims will do the job just fine for any dealer wanting to do a proper demo vehicle. Just my 2 cents...

I don't know if this will work for everyone, but after reading above, I tried a mouse right click on the "red x", it popped up a box with a "show picture" item, I left clicked on it and the picture popped into place. I had to do it on each picture. Nice looking xB.

OK, I tested this thread with MS Internet Explorer and the pics failed to load. And the "show picture" didn't work either.

So, I modified my original post to have url links as well as the images. That allowed the pics to be displayed in an IE window. Interestingly, once I tested the url link, the pictures loaded into the normal thread.

There's a very good reason I use Firefox as my main browser. Let me know if there are still issues.

Personally, they got the striping all wrong. They should have paid homage to the A Team van...
