Meet the newest Price

Despite the adverse pressure Katie and I received from friends and family (ahem...Mark) we went ahead and purchased a Scion xB. They are a funny hybrid of SUV and a car and they certainly have acquired a following in the past few year and my buddy Mike pointed out to me that their largest following is among adolescent Laotians, I am neither adolescent nor from Laos but I do love the xB. Katie and I found it on Craigslist being sold from a "dealership" in Huntingtown Beach. It was a dude named Mehmet (yes from Turkey) who told us to call him Jim. He and all the other guys at his shop all had mechanic shirts on that "Sam" name patches. I thought that was odd that they were all having such a hard time deciding what they wanted to be called. So anyway, it is a 2006 xB and it has 32,000 miles on it, still under warranty, and never been in an accident. Katie and I both love it so much, once you sit inside you can do nothing but love it. It is the most comfortable vehicle you'll ever ride in. During our hunt for xB's we struggled finding a color we liked, white is too feminie, black is too common, grey looks too much like a toaster, and yellow was out of the question. When we finally found this one all our dreams came true, I know what you're asking youself and the answer is yes I have another burgundy vehicle. First the 4Runner Rugged, then the motorcycle Lanolin, and now with the advent of the xB, I present to you 3rd installment of the burgundy family...RON!

Welcome to the family Ron! Uncle Mark will warm up to you just fine.

I am so sorry for your loss. Even Jennifer really loved Ron and that is saying something. If there is anything I can do...please just call.

Glad you got the '06, I think the design got abused when they started rounding those things out.

I hope you and Katie had a shower for your new addition. How else are you going to get the right rags/cleaning supplies for the thing? And shouldn't the ward be bringing you meals for the next couple of weeks?
