Arrow Why?!

Ok I was drunk 2 nights in a row,so I cant say where I saw this,But I think it was around Ybor.

It was a Turbo Scion XB.

So did this guy go from 105 hp to 125?

Or am I wrong and they do motor swaps in them?

Someone educate me.

there are bolt on turbo kits for the xb.

Why anyone would be gay enough to be seen driving one yet alone mod it is a secret well kept by the scion fanboy community.

i dont like flat, sharp-edged cars that don't even have motors capable of compensating for their hideousness and lack of aerodynamics.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

The same reason people swap hondas to run 15s and 16s.

1 second is quite a bit.. but i think most people that swap a honda do it more for the potential power.. but thats just a thought
