Just don't **** her off when there are knives around so she doesn't channel her inner Lorena, and you'll be fine.

guys, this is not my car, but one of my students trying to sell her 06 Scion XB 5spd, just shy of 70,000miles for $11,000 OBO.
it is Toyota certified, and can be transferred covers a couple more years or till 100,000 miles.

The seller moved to NY, and could not take her car, thus it's sitting in my drive way, and i'm riding once in a while as my daily... if anyone interested, or know of anyone interested, let me know.
I'll be there for the test drive, and once the deal is made, she will fly down and do the title transfer.

Scion XB Black 06 for Sale

she's having hard time selling b/c of 5spd... it's a great car to drive around the town, and has huge room for such a small car. to be honest I don't mind she can't sell the car, so that I can just keep it as my daily for free... but I told her I'll try to help her selling it...

Sounds like a project vehicle Tacti. Slam it and out in a 10KW sound system.

A couple photos from last Saturday down in Aurora IN.

MY WIFE
You can sell your 8 and do whatever you want with that xB.
I think she meant "Do it if you want, but I'm not gonna pay for it..."
and I rather keep my 8....

Saw an 8 facing the wrong way on 71 North this morning on my way to work. Hope it was nobody's here. Didn't look to be any damage (I didn't get a great look because I am not a rubbernecking savage) but still never a good sign!

Probably a Honda cut in front of the 8. They like to do that.

Not in front of my wife they don't, she's traveling too fast!

Had two and a half days without a connection. It teased me by showing there was a connection, and would sometimes load up my home page, but that was it. Couldn't even get an e-mail dump.

You get new rims Tact?

Looks like a nice run. Like the dual cam setup.

nah, I had that rim for a while now.
it's my autox rims. I daily on my cheap rims with cheap tires, and use my good rims and tires just for the track day...

can't afford both!

btw, it's very frustrating (not exactly, but something like that), but also make me even more addicted, when lycanthrope (member here, and also the Solo Chair of the Cincy SCCA) can go full 2 seconds quicker driving another 8. His first warmup run was as fast as my best (the last) run...

Anyone know of someone selling a used midpipe?
My birthday is coming up and I might be interested in buying one as a b-day gift to myself/8.

All right Kevin! BTW your cursing is bleeped out unless one is signed in. Funny that.

Tact, I'm jealous. Can't watch the video but the little shot of the pavement had me drooling. I'd love to drive an 8 against you guys to see how slow I really am. I can't really compare myself to anyone else as there aren't any similar cars (others are more prepared than mine).

I am going to have to get a new clutch sooner rather than later with all my new power, so I've been shopping around. I see these F1 Racing sets on eBay, lo and behold Good-Win Racing carries some of the line (yes, I do browse there. Prudent shopper and all that). Has anyone on here had any experience with them, or know someone who has? The price is right but I don't want to have to remove the tranny twice to do this job due to failure of a poor set of components.

From what i've gathered, f1 stuff is junk. I'd stay with the known good brands out there like exedy, act, centerforce, etc. if i were you, especially since you're making much more power than stock.

I may do Fuel if it isn't raining. Plans changed to go out of town.

Kevin, glad you're staying with the team.

Did you guys see the new Miata with the 1.3L 200HP turbo? Looks good if the sketches are true.

Tact, I'm just giving you ****. I'm glad you're enjoying them!!! I'm not jumping into rebuying anything since it's almost the end of summer. The sway bar money is just going towards a mazmart built engine. After that I'll worry about sways again

I'm heading north this weekend, so no fuel for me. Lots of beer to drink with the old man and some special Irish whiskey direct from Ireland with our name on it. Literally.

Tacti - do you have the wifi backpack for the GoPro? I just got mine delivered today. Hopefully I can try it out before the monsoon starts this weekend.

BTW, was anyone up at Bob Evans on Mason Montgomery Rd around 7PM tonight? I parked next to you. Clean Crystal White S1.
