My name's Caleb and I'm in Little Rock, AR. I bought my xB probably around 5 or 6 months ago. Because my Spec V got totaled within 2 months of moving to Little Rock. After that car I bought a WRX and decided to get out of the whole performance car thing. So I got my box. It's BCP lowered on TRD's for now. Has Figure Engineering grilles, candied tails, clear corners, tint all the way around and JL components, subs and amps with a Pioneer DVD HU. I like my box alot, it's great for carrying around the kids. Well just thought I'd say hi, since I've been browsing this forum for a long time now and haven't done this yet. It's nice being here.

My Stubby ('06 Camo xB) IS for performance -- it performs very well, regularly getting right around 40mpg on my 10-mile commute!

Welcome to the fray . . . .

Thanks, I agree that choice is definitely better for staying out of trouble. At least the getting arrested type trouble for doubling the speed limit. Now all I worry about is disturbing the peace. It's nice driving down the road and not having to look for cops all the time. Now it's relaxing driving. I was pretty bad about speeding, glad to be done with it. For now...

Here's a few pics of the other cars. There will be more to come with my box. I'm just gotta get going. So here's the WRX. It had an STi turbo, intercooler, injectors and other lots of other misc mods. It was pretty freaking fast.

Here's the love of my life. I'll never forget this one. It was completely modded as far as N/A goes, probably about $7,000 worth. Had nearly 200whp, nice for an N/A. I also had a GT3071r dual bb turbo along with the whole kit, waiting to go on it, at the time of the accident. The turbo kit woulda put me around 320whp or so. Anyways, I love that car and here's a picture of it.

And here's a pic of after the part out.

Here's the box. I've since got rid of the wheels, still trying to sell them actually. I had them with some wheel adapters on them. The wheels were 4x113. It was nice having a piece of my Spec V on the box, sentimental value. Anyways, here it is.

speed on the roadways really isn't good for anything but trouble for yourself.

speed on the track... that's where it's at.

welcome to the site and enjoy the better gas mileage.

BCP was the only xB that I could find at the time. I didn't really know what to think of it at the time. But the color has really grown on me. I never liked "purple" before. As you can tell, I had a little something going for silver. And I am loving the better mpg. I like to think I have good taste in cars, nice to hear someone backed me up on that.

Unless you're talking about doubling the parking lot speed limits, IDK? If it's on the highway, it must take you a long time to double it. This is not a quick car by any means. Idk why anyone would treat it that way. Even the way this car was made as far as gearing goes, should be a hint not to drive it that fast. I feel like I'm gonna break something when I'm going 80mph. I've never went over that in this car and I don't think I ever will. It just doesn't feel safe in this car. It wasn't made for speed. What do you have done to your xB? Is it actually "fast"?

Definitely agreeing with that. It just sounded like that other guy actually thinks his box is fast or something. Sad news, for him when someone breaks it to him that xB's are not fast by any means.
