It was hard to miss the Scion Hako Coupe concept at the 2008 New York International Auto Show. We’re convinced Toyota simply dropped a shipping container on a Scion xB. The car actually looks like it is wincing!
I am looking to confirmation to what I have been praying about and I trust the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth via your prayers. Please don’t allow yourself to guess on what it is I am seeking from the Lord, this is real important to me and I want to make sure the confirmation has come from the Lord. I will know what Jesus has said once I read your response to your praying, because it is very specific and only the Lord knows what it is. For the next two weeks I won’t even be answering any emails, so please hold off on sending any emails except news related emails. If I miss some news I will have your news links.
