I work at home so I'm seldom out in rush hour traffic. But I had to go to a meeting today. As traffic was creeping along (how do these people do this every damn day?) I heard a horn toot next to me. I looked over and saw a guy in a junker Mazda enthusiastically pointing at my xB and giving me the thumbs up sign. OK, dude. Glad to make your commute exciting. I imagine the box looked extra small since I was sandwiched between two semis.

:lol:

not bad :)

Funny how that happens just about as much as when they point and laugh. Lots of looks, good or bad, these boxes generate.

I have yet to see someone point and laugh, but that might have something to do with the gun rack on my roof. I'm not sure.

Max2k//packing heat (but not really)

some lady said this "DUUUUDE u drive a TOASTER, (thumbs up)"

Lots of looks, good or bad, these boxes generate.

Agreed! LOL - the good thing is I honestly don't car cuz I love the box.

I get more "whoa" looks in my yellow 996 though. LOL.

once, in front of wal mart this little 6-7 year old kid saw it and started jumping up and down going "look mommy there it is that's it"...whether he was impressed or not i couldn't tell, seemed really happy though...

Isn't that the best feeling?! I get that constantly with the bug - even moreso when i have the kayak strapped to it. :D

the peapod delivery guy, who was in his late 50s early 60s said it was god awful ugly this morning, my mom told him she agreed but it was the only thing her son fit in....nice people eh lol. good or bad i love the buzz it generates

Isn't that the best feeling?! I get that constantly with the bug - even moreso when i have the kayak strapped to it. :DI used to think that my Bug would be the only car to get this response. But the Box gets more.

Maybe everyone is used to the Bug by now.

I drove my box up to tahoe today and people were lookin at me like I was nuts for drivin some funny lil exhaust toting , lowered box car around on the snow covered roads. it was fun. lol

Leaving the dealership form having the oil changed, two toothless nubiles "woohooed" my box. Then, they saw my 40 yr. old a$$, and suddenly got quiet. I heart my box.

I had an entire school bus of elementary school kids stick their heads out the window and waving and screaming, "It's a Scion! Hi, Mr. Scion Man!"

I was at a friend's house and his nephews(5 & 9) were over to see him. The 5 year old told me "Man your car is tight! I like it." and then the 9 year old said "It's just a stupid car shaped like a box with a motor, 4 wheels, and a steering wheel." That's when I said "It's better than what you have" and I punched him in the throat and kicked him into the TV.

Homie don't play that. :lol:

You should have seen it when it happened. The sound his head made when it bounced off the glass was priceless. I wish I could set it as my ringtone on my cell.

Was the TV shaped like a box..........or his head ??

i dont know what it is but the only people who comment nicely on my box (or comment at all for that matter) are people over 60 or kids under 12. Everyone else just walks around my car 5 or 6 times tryin to figure out what it is (no scion badges) its funny to watch them walk away frustrated.

Yeah. Yesterday I was across the street from my house, in the park, when a granny came riding by on a bicycle. She saw my xB in the driveway and slowed way down to check it out. Her head almost turned all the way around as she passed, and she nearly swerved off the street and into some bushes. Funny world.

Apparently young girls like the xB. One in our neighborhood told us she liked our "x Box". The next week, a different 9 year-old told us she liked our "Boxcar". What's that say about these cars? I guess they aren't macho, tire smoking Hummers!

So last night I decided to go eat a Big Mac after seeing that SubWay commercial where Jared shows how much of a p*ssy he is. I get there and I'm happy :D I order a Big Mac and pull up to the window and the woman working goes "Wow, I like your car" I say thanks and then she asks "Is this the Honda Element?" and I got angry :x I reply "No, it's a Scion xB, it's made by Toyota." She then says "Oooooohhhhhhh, is this a race car?" I start laughing and tell her no, then she asks "Well, do you ever race it?" Again I tell her no, then she said OK, shut the window and ran away. I get to the 2nd window and I'm happy again, but not as much :) and the 2nd woman says "So where do you race your car at?" Then the evil side came out :twisted: and I recited the F&F Quarter-Mile speech, grabbed my Big Mac, revved the engine up and peeled out.

I'm thinking of going up to the school during recess and paying a bunch of kids $5 a piece to beat up that kid who put my box down. The more I re-think what happened, the more I wish I would have thrown him through a window.
