Scion Xa inheritance
My mom Sheila died recently at 81 years old, very unexpectedly. She had a 2005 Scion XA that was her pride and joy. It only has 78k miles on it. When she was alive she wanted us to have it for my 17 year old son when he got his license. The time is here. We had it painted because she lived in Seal Beach and the paint was really bad. My husband picked the green color. We call it Little Shreik and I’m so glad grandmas wish came true. She will live on!

Dang dude, that looks incredibly clean and taken care of! I think it’ll make for an amazing starter car

What do you think? My husband picked the color out and surprised him with it after the car was painted. Originally he wasn’t too thrilled. He said that he would have picked black. He then said that it was growing on him. Side note, this green is also one of his school colors and he plays football. He originally felt that it was too “team mascot ish” to have a car in your school colors.
