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.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.

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.

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

Though the eventual existence of a convertible version of the Toyota GT86 (and its Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has already confirmed a concept version for next month's Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.
