Hello. You are looking at my custom Scion xB for sale. The car has very low miles and is mostly driven in the city, aside from driving to car shows during summers. The car has been a project of mine for six yesrs. I bought the car brand new (12 miles on odometer) and have been the only owner and only driver. Since 2008 the car has over 50 awards from car shows in central Illinois area. Some career highlights are: Slamology 2013 1st place Scion Mild, Slamology 2012 3rd place Scion Mild, two best xB awards at Scion shows, best of show sound quality, numerous best import awards, and a kids choice award. All the electronics in the car were professionally installed at Vibez in Champaign,IL. The installed electronics include 10 monitors. Locations are in dash, the rear view mirror, both sunvisors, all four headrests, big screen (22 inch) flip down over the back seat, and flip down from the hatch. There is also a custom sub enclosure taking up the entire hatch area. In that enclosure is 3 12" Memphis M3 subs and 1000w Phoenix Gold amp. Other installed electronics are various lights located under the car, in the engine bay, inside the overhead gran handles inside the car, ecterior door handles, around the shift knob, and under the seats. Several other upgrades are seen throughput the vehicle. Other custom features include reverse hinged hood, hood scoop (not functional), body color painted strutbar, body color painted engine cover, killerglass radiator hose, manual sunroof, 17" motegi wheels, 1.5" suspension drop from Tein S-tech springs, halo 8k hid headlights, led taillights, led third brake light, 5% tinted glass on every window (including fronts), rear spoiler, magnaflow exhaust (muffler back), removed rear wiper blade/engine and plugged with color matched plug, door locks plugged with color matched plugs, viper security alarm, trd front arm rest, two stinger batteries, black powdercoated grills (all three), scion logos removed and replaced with decepticon logos, blue led dome light, and chrome rear hatch handle. What's wrong with it? Small door ding on one side, small chip on the lip of two rims, right rear headrest monitor had the wires snap so its not functional, when its cold the head unit turns off and restarts when you start moving, and the heater/ac fan is stuck at 2. This car has been my pride and joy but I am selling because im ready for a new project. Winning bidder, 10% of selling price is due within 4 days of auction end and remaining 90% is due in full within 14 days of auction end. The car is pickup only, but if you need me to meet you somewhere (within reason) im willing to work with you. Full payment would be required before any kind of travel would occur. If you have any questions at all or need a picture of something else please let me know. Thank you for looking, and happy bidding.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
