Step forward, don't be SHY !!! Okay, I really am curious, I hope someone is older (54) than me! :nails:
I mean I DON'T want the TITLE!!

You're only as old as you feel, and since you bought a box, you can't feel THAT old !!

And yes there's older...........you'll see.

I'm 62.33 but not a grandpa yet!!

You are perhaps tied for oldest at 54. Born Sep 1950, so that will let you know for sure. I have had fun doing my mods, and it is a great car for it. Just enjoy the uniqueness of it, and have fun. The grandkids love riding in it.

i guess my wife and i are the younguns here @ 40

My father's in his sixties; we were both checking out the xB and ended up getting them the same weekend...

53 & 11/12ths. Born April, 1951. No grandkids yet but my two sons seem to be working that way.

:P RPM

54, born Dec. 1950

just to go the other way my son who is 4 wanted to drive it the other so I got him the rc XB

Not me, my wife says i have the mind of a 12-year old!

nice to see that this board is not loaded with bunch of young'ns

i'm 29 going on 30 btw... i guess still a young'm compared to some you folks here :)

koalaty2... great license plate frame!!

54 here (October 5, 1950). Four kids ages 25-30 and no marriages or grandkids in sight. Looking to retire the end of this year.

Middlin' old fart, born 1946...

:nails:

47 here in the DC area

Well my Grandparents in their 90`s after seeing mine , and seeing HOW easy it was for them to get IN & OUT of the BOX , ARE NOW thinking about getting one so that they can be driven around in and sometimes my Grandma can drive . If she had a car with the AUTO Stick on the floor like the xB , instead of on the Steering Column like her BIG car does, she could drive again . She had surgery on her right shoulder and cant lift her arm up to change gears .
So my Grandpa has been asking about How Much is the xB thinking , and my Grandma is Hinting ALL the time.
It would be a little Bling thing- if they did get an xBOX :clap:

There is a couple that live by my work, they must be 70-80. I see them cruisin the xB all the time.

Welllll... After reading this thread, I'm not the oldest... But I think I have the most grandkids!!!!

55+ and 5 perfect grandkids....

They think they have the coolest grandpa... A Skydivin', Biker, Scion drivin' Grandpa.....

As somebody else said, you're only as old as you feel.

I'm 43 and my wifes age is closely guarded (little less than mine) and we have a 5 week old granddaughter. but as someone above noted my wife says i still act like a kid!my dad is 71 and he loves my xb but can't talk my mom into one.

Those here in SW Florida and probably AZ can confirm that younger people are actually the minority when it comes to Scions. I think the oldest (not confirmed) driver I've seen here in Naples is a women who could barly see over the XB's steering wheel and looked to be 135. Seriously though I think the average age of the drivers here is 75.

Its me, I'm 94. Oops, typo, I'm 49. :rolling:

And TOYOTA wanted Young Drivers for their XB's ???? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, remember, the average age (or was it median age) for the Scion brand is 35 according to whoever it is that does those polls. That means there's plenty of older drivers out there with the cars.

Personally, I'm 17. I'll celebrate that for the 12th time in June! :rofl:

-Alex

I'm 40, and my wife says I'm her oldest child!

There was someone online here who's name was Grandma?????. She was in her 70's and had a xB

I am a young 47

The very first xB that we sold last June was to an 89-year old woman.

I think that may take it.

LATER

62, but not a grandpa, at least not yet. I've had the box for 14 months and have over 12K miles on it. Love the car!

Geez, I'm feeling young at 40 now. :)

I just became a proud grandpa at the ripe old age of 52.
You're only as old as you feel...

I will be 1 quarter (1/4th) of a century old this October.

I said it......(2nd post)

BTW, clockin' in at 47. I've been modding cars for more years than some people are old here. Love the box, now if I could just figure out how to get speakers in those rear doors..................................?

Well, I'm a late bloomer, 40 year old with a 3 year old and a 8 month old. I wish I would have had kids about 20 years ago.......lol. Good thing my wife is 10 years younger than I am. :relief:

xKEITH760x Thanks for the compliment. This is a nice friendly thread. I have two kids, and 9 grandkids. I only had three in the car at a time when the oldest 3 came out for a long visit. To gather interest in the xB in the summer of 04, I gave out $.50 to each for each one they spotted before my wife or I spotted it. They killed me when my wife was not with me to help spot. I mean, I still have to drive. It was a great game and they enjoyed it. They also got $.25 for Hummers and Minis, them being the xB's Dad and Mom. My personallized license plate frame says so.

You both have it wrong, As I said before the correct quote is "Your only as old as the women you feel" :rofl:

I live in a large retirement community in Florida, or by one I should say. A lot of retired folks traded in their SUV's and minivans on xB's when gas prices shot up. The local Scion dealer told me they outsell xB's to older folks than they do to younger people.

I'm 32, but haven't bought one... yet.

60 years old, born 1944..A great car--lots of fun to drive

i am 27, going on 17 especially since my box entered my life
married with one 2 yr old son

HA!

I'm 35 and got a XB for my wife last Saturday.
Went today and got one for my son.
Great car for the money.

I have three that are driven by employees. One is 64, one 65 and the oldest is 66

This is what is so cool about this car. It so fun and smart and perfect that it appeals to people of all ages.

When we first got ours, we had little kids waving and yelling and retired folks stopping us at lights to ask about it and tell us how much they liked it.

Oh yeah, and I'll be 36 next month.

The very first xB that we sold last June was to an 89-year old woman.

I think that may take it.

LATER
Can you tell me, or anyone, I had said my Grandma is really thinking about it . And she has sat in the Passenger seat of mine but has never sat or driven in the drivers seat. The problem I was just thinking , Does the Angle of the Steering Wheel or possibly the Emergency Brake placement or putting it on or off cause any Difficulties ?
I have an Added ARMREST which makes the angle just slightly different , But I wouldnt be without one . My G-MA has a Bad RT Shoulder , that is why she needs to get RID of her Gear shift on the Steering post and get a car that has it Between the Seats .

I'm 49 going on 18. Everybody askes me: "Is this your son's car?"
When people mention to my 19 year old that they saw my car, he says: "Oh, that's my Mom's car"....and they say: "Yeah, RIGHT!" :rofl:

Based on the owners in my area (with the exception of a couple), I avoided this thread fearing the oldest might be me.

Instead, I find that I'm actually on the lower end of the "older" drivers at 34.

WHEW!

That's alright.......you're right behind us! :rofl:

I sold one to a guy who was 87!!!!!! He bought a Cammo automatic tranny, and he loved it!

That was almost a year ago, so if he's still kicking he's gotta be almost 88.

um..i saw some old lady driving in an xB one day. she looked around her 50's? haha anyway...im 16 =). i wonder who's the youngest driver here :lalala:

Damn! I thought I was the old fart...Im a spry,young 35!!!

i went to quizno's the other day and this old couple stops me and asks me about my box. they said they were going to buy one after i told them it's super roomy and get about 34-35 mpg

the lady said it's sooooo cute!! i want one lol

Step forward, don't be SHY !!! Okay, I really am curious, I hope someone is older (54) than me! :nails:

I sold one to a gentleman that is 76 years old.

He put a panoramic roof in and added a lot of vinyl graphics.

hmmm 21 going on 11, or says my wife

Ill balance out this thread with a taste of 16.. hope its sweet enough for you :rofl: I appreciate the older drivers of the boxes out there, it gives scions an image of class; whereas the civics or integras will always be vehicles that children will play with.

17 here. Everyone I see in Greenville that has a Scion is middle aged. It's nice though being the only one at school who has a Scion.

Someone said earlier that SCIONS median age is 35 . But after I had that DRUNK BA*TARD try to put HIS BODY through MY WINDOW ! I think I have a few greys now :nails:
Im Having Fun EVERYTIME I get behind the wheel of MY BOX , And I dont think that has ANYTHING to do with age , Young or Old .

Just got my xB R2 last night. 57 here, but really need cruise control

Dark Cherry Pearl ordered and only 31 here!

My father was born a few months before pearl harbor

I'm 58. Wife's 49. Kids are 17 & 14. All of us love the box.
It is a car for all ages!

My father was born a few months before pearl harbor

:shock: damn whats his SS# ooo-oo-ooo1? j/k

Well, I'm going to be 40 in june.

I don't have my xB yet, but I'll be 47 in June and I'm buying it for my birthday present. I plan to be older than that eventually. That's the goal anyway.

I'm 56 and loving my BOX. Black Onyx Pearl.. :P I have had it for 3 weeks.

For some reason, I seem to be running into a lot of people in your age group lately who are very mature in demeanor.

I AM 55 AND LOVE MY YELLOW BOX. MY WIFE AND EVERYBODY AT WORK THINKS I AM NUTS. I LIKE BEING DIFFERENT.

This comment doesn't include your wife, but I'm just wondering if the people at work would be willing to buy you the car that would not make you "nuts" in their eyes. :lalala:

Different is a good thing.

hmmm 21 going on 11, or says my wife :rofl:

We are in the same boat my friend, although I get compared to her 9 and 11 year old brothers- "I think your an 11 year old trapped in a grown mans body" - im also 21 :lalala: .

I'm 49 approaching 22, have always felt this way, you younger people enjoy life, when you get here, you wonder where the time went and while you've aged physicaly, you may not feel any different, and that was before my 25 year old girlfriend.

I saw a little old lady in Bentonville, AR driving a TCM xB. She looked like she was 110, but probably not actually a day over 90 or so. She was smiling and looked like she was happy in her Scion. I was in my tC but she didn't seem to recognize it.

Props to old people who drive this box. It's pretty tough to steer at times, and to aim for that perfect parking is tough.

Im 24, and I'm very poor at parking this car in a parking spot. I think i need another driving test hahaha..

Nice to see such a variety of people out there driving such a great vehicle! Pleases all people~

:no: Dont EVER get a W I D E car :silly:
I NEVER thought I would hear that the BOX is Hard to Drive or Park . I have Always thought it was Really EZ to do both . The BIG Windows leave NO Blind Spots at all . :no:
The Steering Wheel ANGLE is Different than a REG car though , Its closer to a UPS TRUCK .

It's initially weird getting used to the fact that you DON'T have to swing the car, and that you are practically sitting on the front wheels, so it is a tad different than other cars. . . but these things are so small, it doesn't matter how you park, you should still be in the lines!

i think we have a winner.....

91 years old, bought a xB RS2.0!!! way to go.

I have had my xB for a week now and love it! I'm 51 and this car suits me just fine. It's 'me' with wheels instead of shoes.

Had all the options put on today - carbon appliques, 6-cd changer, 7-spoke alloys, fog lights. My wife likes the carbon so much she wants me to get the carbon spoiler and hood. :love:

I am 40 and going thru a middle life crisis I guess, since I bought my Xa and installed leopard seat covers and blast hip hop on the radio. I guess I am going thru my second 20's :ponder:

@ 47 I should be going faster rather than slower! :eyebrow:

fifty one in May, the day before Ray turns 91. We'll cut a cake and go blow out the carbon

whoa.. thats good we have some adults in here.. I thought it was mostly teens

Its all good thow. But yeah i race my X.B.
Holla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, xB'ers, I will be 56 on my next birthday, in July. I've had the black cherry xB for over a year now. Just took off a set of 17" BSA's to go back to the stock size - for fuel economy. Looking for a new set of 15" wheels. Konig Trouble or Konig Theory look nice, but mmmm those Voxx MG's look good too. Any suggestions.

Handlebar

I'm going over to wash the ninetyone year old Ray's RS2.

TJ: Sorry, Ray's not able to make the Miami meeting tonight. Conflict. Somthing came up for the both of us (family stuff)

I'll try to get Ray to a meeting some other monday (not next monday, however) at which time you'll meet, me too.Thanks for the invite to Miami Strike night!

meanwhile, -time to wash and roll- yadda yadda bling shine :ttth: Meguires!

I will be turning 61 and just bought my second xB. The first one got totaled by a hit and run driver running a red light-just as I got into the intersection. see photo below. New xB is now silver so I am a little more visible.
handlebar aka Mike

Glad to see you're okay!

I'm up to four grandsons now! Jason, Benjamin, Doc and Phoenix.

Six grandkids, the oldest is 20 and the youngest is 3. I saw a few posters earlier in this thread who posted 5 yrs ago, and would be older than my 65 now.

My wife, friends, and grandkids all love to ride in my Envy Green RS 3.0. Whenever I give them a choice between the xB or my SE-R, they all always choose the xB.

How did you manage to get 45 mpg? The best I ever got was 30 mpg in my RS1 w/ auto tranny on a round trip to Orlando and back to Boca.

I'm a youngin. 20 years young and loving the box!

How did you manage to get 45 mpg? The best I ever got was 30 mpg in my RS1 w/ auto tranny... I got 42.8 mpg on 24-Jun-06 in my 2006 manual transmission xB:
http://aatherton06.home.insightbb.com/Scion_xB/xB_MPG.htm

It was done by holding the speed to 62 mph, with some variation to 60 and 65, over 250 miles of Interstate driving without a stop.

It would have been easy to get 45 mpg by dropping the speed to 55 mph.

I installed a TRD muffler last summer and have been driving "by the pipe" ever since. More fun but hard on the mileage. Age 67.

sounds like u need to see if u can get everybody "packed" in the box.

45, and not a grandparent yet, and probably won't be for a long time! my only child is turning 8 in 2 months. i am starting to feel older though, because a couple friends, and people i work with around my age are starting to become grandparents. one guy is 44 a whole year younger than me, and his oldest grandson is 10! i'm not asking about that one! he, and his child must have both started out real young.


i felt like i would be an old guy driving this, but i guess i really don't.

My oldest grandkids are 21 and 19, so there's a reasonable possibility I could be a great-grandpa in a few years.

you're 111 pops! i don't doubt you might be a great great great grandpa in a few years! haha just playing.



seriously though i didn't have you pegged as being in your 60s! you're like old enough to be my dad! you're not though cause he would have just turned 78 this year if he was still alive. i pictured you being a young guy like in their early 30s tops! that's not saying you're immature that's actually a very good thing. here i was all along though thinking these little boxes were for kids straight out of high school, and college! it's funny that most of the people i see driving xb's though are usually in their 50s or older! same with the xa. now the tc is a different story. oldest person i know of or have even seen driving one is a guy i used to ride motocross with wife. just rode a trail with him last week at his neighbors who is a good friend of mine. he actually lives in the house i owned before this which was the very first house i owned. his wife is 38 i think, and she's got an 06 tc. she's a teacher too. haven't seen a lot of people older than that behind the wheel of a tc. they love it though, and they're excited, because it's paid off next month!

i saw that a 72 yo man had this tricked out tC @ exposed.

Well, my other cars have included 2nd & 3rd generation Sentra SE-Rs, which give tCs a run for their money. Plus I had a 1st generation Eagle Talon turbo AWD that ran with WRXes. The Talon Tsi cleaned the clocks of both tCs and SE-Rs.
