Default So I got my xB today and...

Stop by the autozone, 30 miles on the OD, to get some floor mats. I was freaking MOBBED. I am the only one to get a scion around here so noone's seen them yet. 4 Employees and two customers come out and start asking me all sorts of questions. I think I sold it to two people / I was smart enough to get a bunch of business cards from the guy that sold me the car, so I gave one to a guy whose gramma has been asking him about them (what's up with that?!) and another to a guy that said "I heard about these but I didn't think they were REAAL". LOL.

Good times. The stroller even fits!

I'll post some picks when my wheels and springs get here.. but it's just a cherry with fog lights.

The dealer said that when they got this one allocated they got calls from other dealers all up and down the coast looking to take it off their hands.

Get used to getting mobbed. We're one of only two that I know of in Denver and we get two reactions: 1. What the hell is that and where can I get it? 2. Laughter. A lot more of number 1.

Congrats.

Yeah, the xB causes accidents. People turning their heads while passing the box. Pacing the xB and checking out the interior while driving 65MPH instead of watching the road ahead. Pedestrians stopping at the middle of the crosswalk checking out the front end while a simi is barreling down on 'em. A lot of tail gaters (especially gas guzzler SUV's). People weave from the fast lane all the way to the side of the xB then right in front of the xB and then right behind the xB.

Today I was on the R29 (Route 29, in MD). I saw a bunch of cops ahead checking out peoples speed by the side of the road. I passed them and on my rear view mirror I could see them checking out the rear end of the xB.
