ShortBus
So here we go, the first Featured Ride of XBSITE!
Below you will find information about our beloved member ShortBus (Profile).
_________________________________________
Written by Shortbus:
I bought my Scion December 26th of 2004. I saw them and I thought to myself this is a very ugly car. Then I saw the inside and I saw one modified and from there it was on. I started attending car shows shortly afterwards and putting money into "the shortbus", yes, that's it's name, "Shortbus". I met Mike and Karen at a car show at Knott's Berry Farm and saw all the modifications he had implemented on his car and I took it and ran with it. Mike, Karen and I began seeing each other regularly at car shows and Mike decided we should start a car club called "Balliztik". During this time I was working hard on my new modifications. I chose the XB for it's roominess, gas milage and all the easy modifications you could do. If I had enough money I would buy a few more and modify them as well. Since then I have managed to win a few trophies as well, I have won 1st place Afterdark Car Show '06, 2nd place Independent Illusions Holloween Havoc '06, 2nd place Scion Extreme '06, 2nd place California Truck Jam XB Class May '06, 2nd place California Truck Jam XB Class June '06, 1st place Western Washington University Ridin Low in the 360 Mini SUV Class '07, Best Scion Lowered Expectations '06 and 3rd place Scion of Chula Vista Scion Evolution '06.
So my modifications include, the Suspension - Tien Super Street Coil Over Shocks, Hotchkis Sway bar Kit, 18" Tenzo-R Rims on Toyo FZ4 Tires, DC strut Tower Bar and Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors. The Exterior - Custom House of Kolor Neon Blue, Wade Window Shades, Blue Neon Under-Carriage Lights, AIT Carbon-Fiber Wing and Custom Eye lids for Headlights. The Interior - Custom Headliner, Blue Neon Under-Seat Lights, Blue LED's in Headliner, Chopped Headrests off of seats, Blue Interior trim, Custom Speedometer Face, Iron Cross Gas and Break pedals and Custom Shift knob and Emergency Break Lever. In Car Entertainment - Kenwood DDX 6019 Monitor with DVD, CD and Receiver, 2 JBL 10" Woofers, 2 JBL Tweeters, 4 JBL Mid's, 2 Rockford Fosgate Punch - P4504 & P6502, All lit by Blue Neon and Wobbulator Ambulance Siren. And finally the Engine - 1.5 Liter 4 Cylinder Toyota, Perrin Cold Air Intake, Carbon-Fiber Engine Cover, Blue Cover to high-light all hoses, Optima yellow top battery, Tsudo Exhause, Iron Cross dipstick and Piston transmission dipstick.

RE: ShortBus
The thing that sets ShortBus apart for the typical xB is that it isn't typical.
You don't see car owners going out on a limb with a certain mod like he does.
Great Job!

RE: ShortBus
Very nice ride...I am jealous. I wish I could mod my XB more, but I don't have the cash for that.
