I’ve had it three weeks as of tomorrow, and it’s already at 2300 miles. Quick rundown: 2006 Scion xA Polar White 5-speed I’ve already removed the “xA” badge on the hatch and put in a K&N air filter. I’ve also installed my Sirius Stiletto100. I’m looking at wheels, springs, and shocks. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and some sort of Tokico shocks, but I haven’t decided on wheels. I’ve changed my mind a thousand times, deciding on everything from Rota AutoXs to Enkei GF1s. Below are the Rotas. ![http://gtmwheels.com/images/autox_blkwred.jpg](http://gtmwheels.com/images/autox_blkwred.jpg) ---

Hit 81000 miles today. Bought a spare engine with 35k miles on it for $200. I figure it can sit in the basement until I need it. I keep going back and forth on doing anything to this car, as it is my source of income, so I think I’m just going to order some Eibach Sportlines and go from there. Every Rota is curbed. Glad they were cheap. ---

The motor will probably sit in my basement for a few years, but I couldn’t pass it up at that price. The current motor still runs like new. I imagine a 100hp Toyota engine, maintained correctly, will go 200000+ miles. ---

103000 miles. Still no issues. Had to buy new clutch and brake pedal covers from Toyota because I’ve worn through the rubber. Grand total: $7.28 ---

The next time I need a car I will not be in the States… Dont worry Bee ohh Beee I’ll still enjoy my cars but itll just be a different market to choose from. Also the Opel insignia is almost the same car as the new buick regal just different badges. [http://www.opel.nl/Showroom/Insignia/Gallery.aspx](http://www.opel.nl/Showroom/Insignia/Gallery.aspx) [http://www.buick.com/regal/2011/pictures/](http://www.buick.com/regal/2011/pictures/) They got some mean diesels over there with some good torque in older models. So i know ill find something fun. and this time itll have to be a stick shift ! But for our future this is a better option I’m already working on connections to get a better job when its time to move and im starting to plan now so itll be an easy transition.
