Man thats gotta be torture, what are you driving in the mean time? Haha..I'm not a fan of scions at all.
I saw your ride when I got an oil change acouple weeks ago. Do you have any pics of your interior?

I have yet to find a comparable new car for less than $15k new.

Could you get something better used? I'm sure exactly what you are looking for though, a car with alot of room. I hear ya though, I need something with alot more interior room and a roof rack to lug stuff around.

I was looking at certified civic's too. I found a 2001 EX with 47k miles for $12,800. It doesn't have the same hauling capabilities and is a 5 yr old car. The Scion felt better than the civic on the freeway too, quiter nicer ride (even with the bling bling wheels and low profile tires that the dealer had on it).
An old Volvo wagon would be cool, or anything like that. But if the SOB breaks then I would have to fix it, and to be honest I haven't seen anything for around the same money new or used that I like as much as the Scion. The other option is to just buy a $1000 civic that I can afford to replace twice a year for less than Scion payments. If it lasts 1 year then I win, if I have to throw it away after 6 months then I didn't lose anything, but if it lasts 2 years then I win BIG.
I think I need to buy the gf a mini before I can buy another new car though

Lol, my gf wants a mini too. Well accually she was in love with the thing and accually drove it and wasnt impressed...figures.
That sounds like a good way to do it. I need a winter beater, I did a number on my car last year. I'm not a fan of those civics, text drove acouple and they didn't seem as solid as other cars, I don't want to start a debate though, I only drove 2 (96')
Is that company in your sign yours?
Maybe you could sticify it like the buses around town with your logo, lol. I thought about doing it just because I know a guy that works at the company that does some of it...cheap advertising.
