My Suzuki Sidekick died last week. Blown engine. $3000 to replace. We decided to just get a new car for me instead. Better gas mileage, safer, etc. So, I am now the proud owner of a brand new Scion xA! It’s freakin’ sweet! It’s Indigo Ink Pearl, has the ipod integration, and gets 31/37 MPG. Here’s a quick pic of it:

This is the first car that I will drive regularly that has power locks and windows! I’ll be posting more about it in the future I’m sure. I plan on pimping it out a little and taking pics of the pimping process :)

I’ll post pics when I get it back.
