Our New Car, the Scion xB
Through a somewhat disappointing chain of events, we sadly bid our beloved silver VW Jetta farewell last night (yes, I cried a little) and a new car came into our lives, with huge shoes to fill, left by a family legacy of devotion to Volkswagen. But we are excited about our new little Scion xB, and it may very well be up to the task of being a great, fun little car for our family. The following are not photos of the actual car, mind you, but just a representation:
We were happy to finally find one with the 'California Sunroof,' which is basically a double sunroof that extends to over the rear seats as well. We get to break the car in really soon, to head to Hot Springs for Clint's wedding, and we think we're going to love it. It's got plenty of room, the Bubby loves it, and the cup holders are super, although admittedly, they suck on the VW vehicles we're so used to.

I recently sold my silver VW Jetta, too. Still having emotional attachment withdrawal. But I'll get over it. Good call on the xB!

I love your new car! What color is it? I do think it's too bad it doesn't transform, though. That could come in handy in those fun Texas traffic jams.
