\"\"<\/a>Linda Burton posting from Phoenix, Arizona<\/em> — Today was the day to pay attention to the Scion. The personalized plate had arrived, so I borrowed a screwdriver from the front desk and happily fastened it to my car. I\u2019ll never forget my number now: 50 CCUSA.<\/p>\n

Next I wanted to buff up the cargo space. Six thousand miles traveling with \u201ccats in the back\u201d were starting to present a hairy problem. I headed for the nearest Toyota\/Scion in Phoenix, which turned out to be Camelback Toyota on (where else) Camelback Road. A fabulous facility, they\u2019ve been there two years, I learned. www.camelbacktoyota.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Khristal Witting searched for accessories that might solve my cat-hair problem, she owns an XB too, has a canvas liner in her car. We walked to the parking lot where she showed me how it works for her. Sold! I said. We chatted about the Journey as we installed (well mostly she<\/em> installed!); it fitted over the seat backs and covered the cargo space floor. Perfect! Thank you Khristal, now I\u2019m set. She promised to follow the Journey every mile; \u201cKeep me posted on the cats,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

I met with General Manager John O\u2019Malley too, and told him about the Journey Across America the Scion and I are making. \"\"<\/a>Picture time (I’m squinting in the Arizona sun, not frowning!), along with Kim McKay, Customer Relations Manager, who graciously showed me around and told me \"\"<\/a>a little about \u201clife in Phoenix,\u201d where she has lived for the last 30 years. Kim verified for me which mountain was \u201cCamelback\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s visible from the parking lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I drove a few more miles down Camelback Road, headed towards that fascinating mountain, and here\u2019s what I saw. \u00a0I\u2019ll save the thousand words and just post the photos.\u00a0 The last photo is the view you would have from your kitchen window \u00a0if you lived on Camelback Mountain. As Gomer Pyle would say: Gol-lee!<\/p>\n
