Yup, it also has a built in key to start it (as opposed to a pushbutton) that unlocks when it senses the fob. I like it because turning a key just seems so much more natural to me.

You've got a real modern beauty there!
My grandparents have an STS-V that I had the privilege to drive when I went to my senior prom last year. What a car. I had a little time in the afternoon before I had to get ready for Prom, and so the car, my grandpa, and I went for a little date. Wow. just wow. What a car. That is probably the most amazing feeling; 600cc acceleration, while sitting perfectly upright behind the wheel of a car instead of hunched over a tank trying to keep the front wheel down. My grandpa told me to to have some fun and bury my right foot!! so we had a little fun on the entrance ramp to the freeway My grandpa is awesome. |

Everyone should learn to drive stick. It's such a shame that so many people don't know how. You're so much more connected with the car when you're in charge of the clutch, and that demands a level of attention while driving that people don't have when they're on the cell phone

We waited for a car to be shipped to us with a manual transmission!! it's ridiculous! They don't even keep manuals in stock! I learned to drive a manual within a month of getting my temps because the car that was available for me to drive was a stick. Right now, of the 3 cars my parents own, only 1 shifts for you. My friends in High School were all impressed that both my sister and I drove stick. I had to help teach a friend how to drive it because he wanted a small truck, and his options were limited because he didn't know how to drive a stick. Now he has a manual truck |

Its funny though because if you go to any other part of the world like the UK, everyone drives a stick. Even the minivans we used to rent for the submarine when we hit ports were manual, which is weird when you have to use your left hand to shift. I remember when I first learned, I loved it. Unfortunately I never learned how to drive on hills until I spent 2 1/2 hours in stop/go bumper to bumper traffic in NY trying to get over the GW bridge which was a nightmare, but since then I've been a pro |

it is really weird shifting with your left hand. I drove a 60's mini cooper as well. Felt really weird. I assumed the shifting pattern would be mirrored as well, but it was the same pattern, only I was sitting on the other side...

I bought this from one of my soldiers when i was still enlisted in the military. Still drive it everyday albeit only 1 mile a day.
1997 Eagle Talon TSi Bought this for the old lady a year and some change ago. She got tired of switching between my Talon and my MR2. I traded in my MR2 ( got an awesome deal). 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited with the works. |

@blink nice bro. My 2nd favorite skyline next to the 33.
edit: I see a lot of skylines out here on the east coast. Mostly 33s (yes) and 35s. As well, i know where theres a 32 parked at all the time and its almost guaranteed that its there everyday. |

The Scion community is known for going crazy on their beloved cars, especially those who own a 1st gen xB. We trick em out like nobodys business. If you own an all stock xB, then you have no care in the world to be apart of the Scion community. It's like a badge of honor...

I was implying that Scion does not have the "usual" aestethic qualities of a car (in fact, it looks exactly the opposite from what a commonly considered good looking car looks like. Therefore, the "usual" flashy mods do not work, because they ephasize the beauty that Scion does not have.
In a very primitive analogy, this is like a girl with ugly legs and wonderful eyes who wears mini skirts and sun glasses at all times. Not implying that mini skirts/sun glasses are good/bad or meaning any offense to the ladies. Quote:
Why don't you guys try something original since your cars are very different? See my comment above about what is bad with current setup, and please do not consider it an insult. The first idea that comes to mind is 1920s-30s cars. Boxy look, painted black, with white tyres, steel rims and a spare tyre on the side or the back? Normal glass, no neon, maybe curtains. Maybe even removal of stock lights and installing 2 chromed round external ones. Increased side skirts of course. A hat in the back above the trunk is a must. Second idea is well, a cardboard box. The car is a box, so not much work here except paint and maybe some vinyls that contribute to an ilussion. Third is an ice cream van. I don't have any more at the moment but I'm positive there are hundreds that don't involve neon, low profile tyres, leds and shiny rims. Too much of that stuff ruins anything. |

I, for one, don't like how they look, but what looks good and what doesn't is completely subjective obviously. What matters is it looks like you've put some good time into the car and you enjoy it so |
