goodbye cruel life!

Well, the time has come...I must bid you all a fond farewell! My wife and I decided to "upgrade" to a Scion xB. I say upgrade as a joke...lol. Damn, I will miss 8200 RPM, but the warrantee is running out and the miles are climbing. We will be paying $100 less a month, have zero miles, and still owe just as much as we do now. We are only losing a tiny amount of space. I can't afford any more tickets anyway...lol. I just have to keep telling myself this to stay sane.
I appreciate everything that this forum has to offer and want to say thanks. It has been quite helpful over the last 1 1/2 years. I will continue to browse this forum as well as my new home, the Scion forum. Thanks to all!
I really wish Toyota offered more parts and such for the Matrix as they do for the Scions. Oh well...every Matrix I see is a blue hair driving it and I am not going to hang at the local walmart to hang out with fellow Matrix owners/walmart greeters...lol. Too bad for Toyota that their GEN Y marketing plan for the Matrix went south to Florida to the blue hair retirees. And I hear the Celica won't be back either! Maybe when we retire we will get another Trix.

I know it...but like I said, We will owe the same amount(16,000 still owed on the Trix), look cool(as cool as a school bus can be, huh? Or is it a toaster?), no miles, etc. I hate to do it, but it is a logical decision. Hmmm...My mom would be proud of me...her boy is all growed up! lol

At least you're still in the 'family'.
Technically, you're not going anywhere. You're just going to be over in the Scion section more oft.
