The box now has 4 nice dents and a scrape about 1 foot long on it :(

I hope everything gets fixed. Yeah believe it or not my friend broke one of those today. Didn't have a pass to get out, so he broke it. Yup.

Funny thing is, they just open automatically - so it's not like they're protecting anything!!!! FAUX SECURITY!

Seems like your car's body is defectively soft. Try that one on the dealer. :D

Don't you just love Faux Security? It's so nice seeing people pay money to feel good, without getting any real benefit. It's even worse than a car alarm, at least those make noise......

You do understand that you can get a xB for something like 13-14k right?
Yep - not that expensive - mine was 16,660 IIRC :)

wow... gotta love relativity....16k for a car is tough works for me... and i wouldn't ever want to drive it for making deliveries.

Well - I saved up every penny I had from high school on, and wanted to buy myself something nice :) Put 5k down, financed the rest, and I'm thinking baout paying it off now that I can afford too - don't know just yet :) Not bad for a college student who lives by himself and pays for everything :)

I suspect having the gate there reduces the average speed of vehicles coming in, that's a benefit in itself.

Less noise, less risk of somebody's 4 year old getting creamed by the pizza delivery guy.

I hate those cars, sorry to say. You should've bought something a little more safe and powerful.

More safe - the xB gets good ratings in most crash tests, and it's power is mroe than adequate for it's light weight :) Plus, it's great on gas :)

there's probably a tax benefit to using a new vehicle for business use, if you make enough money.
