Just electrocuted myself pulling my laptop charger out of the power strip. Accidentally touched the prongs before it was fully out of the socket. 
it was kinda fun.

Morning Mark, Jeff.
Anthony got a new car!...well new/used car... 2005 Camry...pretty nice!
Sandy and I went to test drive the honda fit on saturday and the scion XD on sunday. The fit's engine was screaming...it's pretty roomy, a lil zippy for a 1.5 litre tho. the brakes are kinda mushy, i didnt feel confident in stopping at all...The stereo was outstanding surprisingly.
The scion xd has the corolla motor in it..same gas mileage and it feels much better to me. it really has a lot of pep and the gearing is nice. it doesnt feel like its struggling even with 3 people and the ac on. its more bland in the interior compared to the fit but the brakes are nice...they feel strong. Both fit and XD have a good amount of room.. i had about 5 inches from my head to the ceiling on both cars and i adjusted the front seat, sat in the back seat directly behind the drivers and my knees had about 4 inches between me and the seat. The XD's rear seats move forward or back and also reclines which was nice so i had pretty good room back there. The cargo area compared to the fit wasn't as large. the floor was a lot higher than the fit so less room to carry stuff. It has slightly more body roll than the fit...the fit def has an awesome turn in.
overall both great cars...
If i get a small car, i think it would be the XD. I didnt try the XB because of the gas mileage...not impressed. price wise/engine wise, the XD wins on that...gas mileage is the same on both cars, little less cargo area and room than the fit, but not enough to worry about especially when i factor the price and engine.
now...to actually bring myself to buying one
this is a great little commuter car for daily driving
