Well I have been sitting here thinking how damn ugly an Element is.. and Since I have a vinyl plotter here I made this. Would anyone be interested in getting some? I think it says alot about how I feel about the Element.

well said... jabs are good, but the blatant hating is just a bit passe... who needs it, on the other hand the Got Box? I really like that because it can mean just sooo many things :wink:

Yea this is in the blatent jab catagory Its not to ____ anyone off.. Its a joke.. Honestly I dont like the looks of the element not to mention they forgot to paint half of it.. and thats what prompted me to make the stickers.. Actualy the people who seem to get the biggest kick out of my xB goin down the road are the Element people.. smiles and laughs and thumbs up and everything.. wonder what they would do If I had the ____ on element sticker on the back.. I bet they would laugh more.. I think they would know its all fun and games.. good old constructive compatition.. I cut a few of the got BOX? stickers in red.. just tuning my plotter... they are gonna be fun I think.. :twisted:

must be nice to be messing around with a plotter like that.... IMHO:

I take jokes and jabs all the time (ask any of the Nor*Cal guys, those bastards pick on my poor xA :wink: :lol: ), but there are just too many people out there who have something stuck up their butts and make it difficult all around just to have fun.. and sure enough we'll run into one of those guys and it all goes to hell...

Should it say Hummer H2 :lol: instead of the Element? The Element is abit more curvacious, like a typical SUV.

silkywilson
02-01-2004, 11:09 PM
LOL yea but no one says hey it looks like a hummer... I have had (in all 3 days that I have had my xB) 8 friggin people say hey is that a Element or that looks just like an Element... and no one said hey look at the hummer... :twisted:

I concider a Mini so much closer to the scions than an element.. I dont realy know why.. maybe be cause the element realy isnt that small.. and the mini is.. my xB feels like a cooper SUV...lol :twisted:

weird, but I never thought as the xB being like an element, until I was on my way to the dealer to order mine.. uh, I mean the WIFES... and passed an element and for just a sec thought "cripes, I'm NOT first" then relized what I saw. It actually made me feel sorta icky. However, I wanted an astro forever, and finally got one a few years back, so I think it'll be cute when the Astro [Safari] is parked behind the xB (one more week!) and it'll look like the astro had a baby.

I like the hummer idea... if nothing else to get a luagh from the 1 H2O owner in town.

I was just thinking about something along those lines. I dont have anything cool like you do to plot it out, but how bout something like.....


I LIKE BOX
(for all you perverted xB junkies)
or
HOT BOX
(for all my pot heads)
i dunno maybe theyre crappy ideas but what else do you expect from a guy who's major influence is from domestic muscle where stickers are EXTREMELY taboo.

Can we be the car genre that finally puts a stop to the stupid calvin ____ing stickers? Man, even though yours is kinda funny, I still have a low opinion of anyone who puts a cartoon Calvin urinating on something on their back window.

I considered getting a "Boxcar Racer" band sticker, but I just am not a big enough fan to do it... If you do like them, it'd be the perfect band sticker for the xB. Or if you just consider yourself a "boxcar racer" that'd do as well.

Another sticker idea...

Copy the Hummer logo, and make a badge that says "HUMMER H 1/2"

There's actually a ton of H2's in my area (orange county). I like to pull up next to them on the freeway just for the laughs it probably causes anyone behind us...

yah, make up a ____ on "mini" with picture of mini using a mini from theit not so funny ads. I test drove a mini before the Scion and both felt fun to drive but HATED the over list ripoff mini dealers are still pulling. I see several mini's now in the classifieds, their fad will not last forever.

By golly, I think I've got one -

Instead of Calvin ____ing on ELEMENT have him ____ing on TALL PEOPLE

at the bottom change it to "Who needs headroom?" "Who needs BOX" (only reason I'd be against the Who needs BOX is that we're not competitors. We're both in the Scion family) or something to that nature.

wish you guys would be more tactful with the Calvin logo/image/characters...i just find these fake peein' Calvins to be an absolute insult to the creator Bill Watterson. At least do something cool and tasteful with the images rather than have him pee...


BTW, i'm an ecstatic E owner...although i love the scions for their looks, colors, and the huge degree to which it can be custom tuned. I just can't imagine myself in one, though. And I'm a Honda person, overall.


It's hard for me to imagine the day Scion and E owners will get together and hang out...the demographics are just complete opposites. But who knows...some day.

Well. I have both. My wife drives an '03 orange Element and I just got a camo xB manual. The Element is for our four dogs, with the totally removable and waterproof seats, (front and back), rubberized flooring and suicide rear doors, the Element is really great. Honda does not make one bad car in their line up. We love the Element, and will really love it more when our baby arrives (which is any day now). The xB gets slightly better mileage, is more fun to drive, has cleaner looking exterior (the element has a mule look, like the plastic parts are bolted on to conceal the true silhouette or something). Definitely gotta give it to the xB in the looks department, much cleaner looking overall. The Element is much larger but somehow does not have any better capacity. In fact, the xB seats 5 where the Element seats 4! However, cargo room can't be compared, the xB loses badly. Fit and finish are about the same between the two--slight edge to the Honda. The xB is a different car, much stiffer ride, designed more for fun than function, though it functions very well. We paid just over 20K for the Element, and we feel both cars are a good deal (the xB is actually an amazing deal).

So, there you go, form someone who owns both.

When it comes down to it the element is a cool CAR. I really like them I obviously wouldnt buy one because i think at their current price point the car could be mch improved and offer different packages.. perhaps the next generation element will be much better. As to their off-raod ability I am sure their AWD NOT 4WD will come in handy but I would most likely restrict their off road use to ... non muddy dirt roads. And heck in a few I'm sure toyota will import the AWD scion xB here.

The folks over at the element board keep _____ing that the scion is inferior and I say if both were 20 gand nicely equipped... YES... but with one less than 15k and the other 20K+ well in my opinion their not in the same ballpark.

The stickers are clever but I think making it a fight of insults between element and scion is pretty dumb.... Now the other stickers with clever phrasing of the word box... thats badass.... and I will definitly purchase that!

My favorite use of the calvin ____in' logo is when i see a cummins desiel dodge have a "____in' in ford" sticker. WHAT MORONS! CUMMONS IS OWNED BY FORD, technically its a ford engine. Sad, Sad, sad!

03-12-2004, 09:30 PM
Yah, I frequent the element forums as well...I'm pretty much ashamed to read those threads where E owners are dissin' the Scion owners and vice-versa. You really can't compare the two since they both serve somewhat distinct functions. There's really no point to be arguin'

So why am I here? I just think the Scion community is much tighter than the E community. Too much complaining on the E forums most of the time, not enough community...

And I'm certainly appreciate the fact that no one has flamed me yet...definite plus so far.

And an AWD/4WD xB?? wow...that would be a sight to see. Lately I've been trying to imagine an xB in the snow. (isn't the car too low to be able to drive in such conditions?)

Also glad to hear from people who aren't thrilled with the peein' Calvin logos.
