holy smokes... congrats. I love these cars!

the 08 xBs work great with HIDs since they have projectors...

Yeah I'm going to look into HID, I wish they come with it and we are talking about 2008 model... but I guess I can always add options later. The only option that I really want and wish they offer is the smart key. It was the first thing I ask the saleman before I place an order. I was kinda disappointed that it wasn't available on Scion but other than that. the car is great and I put 300 miles in the first 2 days and I love it. It get attention everywhere.

Looking good man. That salesman should never judge a book by it's cover. Judge the the cover by it's book. If he only knew...it was the same for me when I got my Lexus cars...

How could you even think about going with a Scion after wanting an LS460? Were the Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Jaguar/Cadillac dealerships all closed?

I feel your pain. I was going to buy a Porsche Carrera GT and they also thought I looked poor and couldnt buy it, and wouldnt let me drive it, so I went and got a civic instead.
