Hello,

My name is Thomas McKie and I drive a 2006 TCM Scion xB. I bought the box in August 2006 with upgrades of:

OEM Rear Wing
TRD Exhaust
Fog Lights
Front Center Arm Rest
Under Dash and Cup Holder Blue Lights
Custom 15" Rims with stock tires

The first week after receiving the car, I took it for a nice road trip to West Virginia and back. I put on a little over 5000 miles the first week. I joined the Scikotics Kern County Chapter in May of 2007 and started doing car shows and new mods to the car.

I have been hitting as many shows as I can over the last two years. I have been to shows in Northern, Central and Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Right now, my mileage is at 61000 +, so I have been driving the heck out of it, lol.

I have a lot of mods that I plan on doing in the future that include a body kit, helix front headlights, new rims, new paint, installing sparco front racing seats (already bought, just need to get the brackets), carbon fiber rear wing, underbody lighting, engine bay lighting, more interior lighting, and more I.C.E.

Right now I am a member of Scion Apocalypse (SoCal Chapter) and sponsored by SmartWax and CarTunes of Bakersfield. I am of course looking for more sponsors to help out with mods and car show costs. 2009 will hopefully be a good year for me. I plan on hitting shows in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon and Washington. I also hope to make more HIN and Battle of the Import shows. I am also going to concentrat on more all car type of shows instead of Scion only type shows.

So thats about it, I hope to make some new friends and hopefully meet some of you at meets or shows.
