Well after almost 6 wonderful years of ownership. Shelly was involved in a accident and found a total loss. From commuting to school and work full time. Being a part of Alpha Squad and enjoying occasional cruises. She was truly a car that had character. Anyone who has owned a 2gen xb or scion knows that they are just a fun car period. I would go into greater detail of all the experiences I have shared with her. However this thread is already getting to touchy and sentimental as it is. I wanted to come on scion life and say goodbye to Shelly and the forum. Honor her with one last post and add some of my favorite pictures. A big thank you goes out to everyone I have met or interacted with in the scion community. It has been a real honor to have been a part of it. Even tho Shelly is gone, the memories will always live on. If I have offended you with my mushy story, kick rocks. Im venting...

I would like to dedicate (Killswitch Engage-A Tribute to the Fallen) to Shelly.

 

Real sorry to hear about Shelly, a real shame ! Best of luck with your next ride!

 

Sorry ro hear about your car.. anyparts your selling?

 

I am sorry to hear about your ride I worry everyday about mines, any parts that are salvageable that you want to sell?

 

sorry to hear about the wreck, hope you and anyone involved are okay. so what are your plans now....? replacing it with another xb? holding off on a redesign? going another route...?

 

Thank you guys, I am driving my silverado for now. 15mpg is fun, I would purchase another scion xb but I cant stand the 5speed. The rpm's were way to high for doing 70mph+. I dont care to have car payments again. So I will most likely buy a civic. Build a sleeper, with a k20a,6speed,few bolt ons and a tune. Keep it all stock on the exterior except for a minor drop. As for parting ways with aftermarket parts. I am selling a tanabe strut bar, AEM cold air intake, Those falken wheels in the pic, w/tire pressure monitors and almost new falken tires 225/40/18. I will make a thread in the classifieds. However you can pm me for pics.

 

Items are up for sale in the classifieds, thanks guys.

 

good buy shelly... are you going to replace her?

 

It's a shame man. She was gorgeous. Best of luck with the new vehicle!

 

Hey thanks for the CAI

 

I am just going to drive my silverado for now, put the money in the bank. Nah man Shelly was my one and only scion.

-Thank you guys for your replies.

 

How did you get Leather seats? Are those just seat covers?

 

In my opinion, the best money spent/best upgrade. I believe I paid somewhere in the $400 dollar range for the seat covers. They are not hard to install, the look & feel great. Not a single person knew they were seat covers. When I told them, they could not believe it. Extremely comfortable, I will be buying a set for my silverado, Look up Clazzio.

Not to mention I bought them in 08, when my car was totaled a month ago they still looked new.

 

Sorry to hear about the accident. You had a good looking xB for sure.

 

Sucks man. Hope you're ok.
