View Full Version : Ever happen to you in the xB???
bamabox 12-28-2004, 12:30 AM When you are sitting still at a traffic light waiting for the green and a car comes up behind you.You are looking at your rear view mirror and the person behind you keeps edging up to see what the heck you are driving,you can see there eyeballs popping out and talking to themeselve,and they keep nudging forward and you keep nudging forward because your afraid there going to tap you arse???This seems to happen way to much!!Always seems like an SUV or truck with the "Cow Catcher" brush guard.I may get a big arse magnet on my rear hatch that says "It's A TOYOTA"
Munch 12-28-2004, 12:32 AM Happens all the time, but I don't have any badges on my Xb :lol:
rollotomassi 12-28-2004, 12:46 AM Yea, the lack of badges not only looks good, it's fun too.
Nathant888 12-28-2004, 01:14 AM That happens all the time.
The worse thing is. When I am on the highway going 80 i pass alot of cars, some of them fly out of the slow lane, floor it and are sitting right on my ___, ON THE HIGHWAY, do you know how nerve wracking that is? Then I get back in the right lane and slow to 70, and so does the Lincoln. Then it slowly approaches me from behind eyes squinting, and once they read the emblem they back off..
-nt
I still get looks around Boston, even after seven months of driving it around. There are so many more on the road, but I guess people don't see them. A lot of folks think it's an Element. Perish the thought.
happens all the time. trucks and suv's for sure! :)
CBSIMONSEZ 12-28-2004, 03:17 AM I like it when the look at the rear, then speed up and slow down as they can view the front. I have the RS1 billet grill, so they cant tell from the front either. But it is funny to watch them practically twist their necks off trying to figure out what im driving.

TJandBOXCARWILLIE 12-28-2004, 05:15 AM I don't have the xB badge, and I have the SCION badge....And I get looks all the time. ALL the time. And people ask me about the car whenever they can. It's kinda cool, and yet weird.
cochise7969 12-28-2004, 05:19 AM I thought you were going to ask if I got flashed by some girls driving the XB? Yes

That's hot shiite. Been waiting for that one..
I asked this in another thread: Maybe it's just my work schedule or lack of interest from other people at gas stations, but it seems like no one has asked about my xB (except one driver in bumper to bumper traffic). Is it just seen around more often.. so no one really wonders anymore? :?
MattyRattyPoo 12-28-2004, 05:42 AM I took off the rear wiper and put the Jack In the Box reindeer guy on it and when ever someones behind me, I flip the rear wiper on and people jsut flip out in their car!! I see them saying " ow Sh*t, it's moving!!" Fun stuff 2 do!!

HAHAHA! That's awesome! That's some funny stuff right there. I can just see that thing smiling and moving.
Priceless
k2kid 12-28-2004, 06:04 AM I want the flashing girls thing to happen to me.
X_Box 12-28-2004, 06:10 AM ooppss....
he he
1loxBchick 12-28-2004, 04:15 PM just wait until you get a custom paint job.... then all the staring starts all over again
Cheif_Thundercloud 12-28-2004, 04:21 PM Ive had them scoot into the crosswalk to try and read the front badge. It wasnt too long ago either. You would think they had seen at least one commercial. Ive had them get close to the rear but its debadged so there isnt much to read.

Way to funny!!! :D Unfortunatly it rains here way to often for me to ditch the rear wiper,maybe I can just strap tie Jack on the wiper blade :shock:

i had a couple of senior citizens walk around my RS1 at a wendys parking lot for 10 mins tring to figure out what it was...
i nearly chocked on my food laughing....
the even looked in the windows but the tint messed it up for them....
i was just about to go talk to them when they left....
Boxed_In 01-01-2005, 10:30 PM After I put the XB 3 brake overlay from Randode on the back I noticed people don't creep up on me anymore. However, if I have my blue leds on driving at night SUV's swerve towards me as they are looking down at my blue floor. I've had to turn them off a number of times.

chadfo 01-01-2005, 10:43 PM I haven't had that problem. Most people just twist around as they are passing to try and see what it is. I guess being debadged has other advantages besides the look.
