^LOL. Indeed I still have two and am currently shopping for an 04-06 Scion XB (same engine as the Yaris) for my daughter.

The Mini is a replacement for my Tacoma, which I sold to my sister, as she has more of a need for a pick-up than I did. I have a feeling that the turbo, AWD Mini, although lots of fun to drive, is going to be an absolute nightmare reliability-wise. So, my daily driver Yaris is here to stay.

And, talk about resale value - My 08 Yaris with under 40K miles is currently listed for $9,990 on the website of the dealer where I traded it to for the Mini.

I was aware of this, but hadn't really thought about it in relation to the content of one of my posts to tooter on this thread (...Prius as RV...) until a bit after I read this post. I found a video on You Tube where a guy took out the back seat, the load floor, the tire, etc. in a 1st Gen xB. He cut out a piece of plywood that stretched from the plastic lower hatch frame lip to the front edge of where the back seat used to be. He also cut out another 10" or so piece (that he hinged onto the bigger piece) that extended over what was (before removal) the leg room for the rear seat. He also used garage wall hanging shelving to create an area for the spare tire, storage, and a car battery/air compressor/jumper/etc. combo device (behind the driver seat). Great. The only problem is that it only accommodates someone 5'8" or shorter (I'm a bit over 6'3"). If someone wanted to carry this to the next level.....remove the passenger seat and put an additional piece of plywood that would be level with the rest.....Would the device you designed for the Yaris (seat bypass module (?) dealing with the 'seat interaction' with the SRS/airbag system) also work in a 1st Gen xB ?
