View Full Version : Why is the xb so beautiful
Carnauba 06-03-2007, 02:00 AM I'm just gettin my xb started since i've only had it for 2 weeks but it has tein s-tech springs and factory cleared corners thanks Jeff. Me and my wife stopped at the fruit stand today and man it really fires me up to see it sittin out front among all the other cars in the lot there is nothing like it. I had a guy tell me last night he didn't like xb's and I told my wife he wasn't welcome at my house anymore.
evosky 06-03-2007, 02:06 AM Haha, yes, the xB is quite something. I keep looking back at it whenever I park it. it's addicting.
Metro273 06-03-2007, 02:58 AM I have people at work tell me ALL OF THE TIME that my xB is really ugly and why did I buy it. The nerve of these morons I work with... :tap:
I really don't care what they say cause there isn't anything out there on the road like it... :love:
Zombietime 06-03-2007, 05:23 AM If anyone says my car is ugly I just ask what they drive. It's usually a suv or some other typical sedan. Then I just tell them the're ___s for driving that kind of car. Usually ____es them off but they get the point.
OldYeller 06-03-2007, 07:43 AM Beauty is in the eye of the xBholder........
Night_Shadows 06-03-2007, 11:58 AM I ran in the store the other day and when I came out I overheard a guy telling my girlfriend that this shoe box she was sitting in was ugly and how could anybody be seen in one of these.... When I got up to the box I heard him say "I just don't get it" I looked at him and said " Your not supposed to get it, that's the whole point" It actually shut him up pretty good. He looked ____ed but oh well what gives him the right to downgrade my car like that.
Carnauba 06-03-2007, 12:27 PM Thanks for the replies I love it. I had a 07 crew cab silverado before I got my salsaxb and people say man why did you get rid of the chevy. First I look at them crazy then I say 1. Better on gas 2. cheaper monthly payment.3 cheaper insuraance. if they still look puzzled I tell them they can start paying the 500.00 a month truck note and insurance and I will rush back to the Toyota store and trade it back in. By this time they have a confused look on there face and say: what is that. I reply with hey man it's a Toyota. And the battle usually ends there.
Just ignore the haters.. Me, every time I see my box, I think to myself, "DAMN thats a sexy box.." I love it..
I had one guy ask me "Wow, why would anyone want an ugly car like that?" So I turned to him (he was getting into his Honda Accord) "Why would anyone want to be like everyone else?"
lowandslow2 06-03-2007, 12:56 PM i have had alot of bad comments about my box,and i just say do you drive the f''in thing then dont worry about it!but i have had alot of good comments too alot of people say i really dnt like the xb but you made it your own and now i like it.HEY evosky.i know exactly what you mean every time i park it i look back at it at least 3 times and say damn that biotch is clean!my girlfriend is kinda gettin tired of it!lol
SciRunner 06-03-2007, 01:01 PM I remember playing with Lego blocks when I was little, so maybe that's why the xB attracts to me. People made bad jokes of the original Mini and original Beetle...gotta love originality.
hotbox05 06-03-2007, 06:15 PM i hate that my car is wrong wheel drive , and too slow (only 15.6) but it does look MIGHTY sexy
Shutterbug 06-03-2007, 06:25 PM I tell them they can start paying the 500.00 a month truck note

I don't want to sound cliché, but I actually laughed out loud at this statement. Good for you...

leov36 06-04-2007, 02:05 AM you know guys, i think people who say they hate the box actually deep down like it but are afraid to say it. people at work talk about my box ALL THE TIME, they once went as far as to print off a pic of a box off onlinel, color it yellow, and then put a stop sing on it and called it a short bus. they always try to make fun of it. i got to thinking about it, and they talk about it so much, i think they actually like the fickin thing but wont admit it. i think of it this way, if i bought a g35, wich most of can adimit is a sweet ___ car, these same people would have been like, wow, nice car, and that would have been it, never mentioned again, but instead it get brought up all the time, same with my inlaws, they say they hate it, but every time i come over there house, it gets mentioned numerous times while im there. the last time i went ove there, we took my wifes altima, and every one was asking were was my toaster(the same people who say they hate it) so basically just like everything else in life, when people hate on something you have or do, it usually means they are envyous.
Metro273 06-04-2007, 02:48 AM ^^^Hmmm, I never thought of it that way. This might be VERY true... :clap:
bLaCk_b0X 06-04-2007, 04:46 AM My sig says it all for me.
hotbox05 06-04-2007, 05:31 AM marisa miller needs some meat on her bones .
cousinbruski 06-04-2007, 10:07 AM When I first got my box and got new wheels I had a guy following me all over town just looking at it. Finally he pulled up next to me at a stop light and asked me what that was and I told him. Then he said that he liked it alot and asked how gas mileage was and now he has one.
Carnauba 06-04-2007, 10:37 AM Wheels do help them alot .im just runnin lowering springs on factory hubcaps now and i think they make a big differance in apperance also.
nerdsports 06-04-2007, 04:30 PM Same thing here guys...
My neighbors knew I was heavily into my Civic. The day they (2 sisters) asked why I was taking it apart, I told them I was buying an xB, both of them asked by why I wanted such an ugly car. I told them both that Ive always loved that style of the car and that was it.
The day I brought it home, I asked them if they saw it. They both said it was an ugly box. Oh well!!
When they saw the inside of the car, it changed their opinion. They saw how spacious it was and complimented it afterwards.
I find myself sitting next to windows anywhere I go just to look at my car. I think it looks freaking beautiful!!!
Gsnorgathon 06-04-2007, 04:39 PM Box is beautiful, baby. Bring on the Nissan Cube and the Honda That's!
BillM70 06-04-2007, 05:01 PM I love the fact that when I drive my car it stands out. Whether you think it is ugly or not , it still stands out and is different. I jus laugh at all the people drivin their big gas sucking SUV's.
NO_BOX_NO 06-06-2007, 03:48 PM ALL YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN SOMEONE DISSES YO' RIDE, IS STOP DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS AND GIVE THEM THE SLOW WANK. (DON'T FORGET THE EYE CONTACT, VERY IMPORTANT!) YOU MAY THINK I'M KIDDING BUT IT REALLY WORKS AND TOTALLY GROSSES PEOPLE OUT. THEY USUALLY WALK AWAY WITH THE MOST PRICELESS LOOK ON THEIR FACES. I LOVE IT!!!

typhoonorchid 06-07-2007, 12:24 AM I love how different the interior space feels compaired to my other cars. There is all the space in front of me and above my head. It makes the interior feel huge.
bahamut_zero 06-07-2007, 12:33 AM I love the box, and I have a tC.

I seriously almost fell off my chair laughing. Thats so freakin' priceless, i almost wish i was a guy :rofl:
Um, but yeah to keep on topic here, some a-hole drove up next to me one time in his crappy old truck and said "what the F is that?" um, first, its rude to use the F word to random girls and second, what the hell? who does that?! I get pretty fired up when people say its an ugly car... at least now they can pick on the 08. maybe.
I purposely position my car outside so that i can always see it when i walk by the window. It is hands down, the greatest looking car i've ever had, i wouldn't trade it for a blend-in-SUV. Standing out was the idea.
RCZDesigns 06-08-2007, 04:31 PM Just dropping in, i'm with bahamut_zero. I really like the xB's. My friends used to tell me they were glad I didn't get "the box" but I tell them if I had a choice I probably would've.
Theres actually a white box for sale, lowered with gold rota's I believe at my local Honda dealership. I'm very tempted to go over and talk some business. I work at Toyota and it was tucked between two bigger trucks and I still noticed it immediately. :love:
Zombietime 06-08-2007, 11:08 PM I love how different the interior space feels compaired to my other cars. There is all the space in front of me and above my head. It makes the interior feel huge.
I agree... i'm 6'3" and I love all the space. Other cars make me feel closed in.

Carnauba 06-09-2007, 01:34 AM Don't sell are you crazy. Well I'm crazy for selling my first one but now I have another one and it will belong to my great grandkids.
ElChupacabra 06-09-2007, 06:07 PM Its for sale because I want something else and Im tired of working on Bs......

crashdad 06-11-2007, 01:25 AM Why is the box so beautiful, you say?
Tell me why the sky is blue. Tell me why the mockingbird sings. Tell me why diamonds shine, why beer tastes better on a hot summer day, why mutts are better than purebreds, why autumn in Kentucky smells so good, why one day in the ball park beats a thousand games on TV.
The box is beautiful because it IS. And for those who can't see that, that's cool. But those of us who do -- why, we're the lucky ones.
