Before owning a scion was cool, cuz we were very limited. Now too many poeple are buying scions and there are no more thumbs up or any sort of gesture from other scion drivers when i drive by them. It feels as if we're dying down, that's just my opinion. I mean i went to a barns and nobles bookstore parking lot, and i saw 3 scion tCs and yesterday i saw 2 more , but no one waved, or thumbs up, from now on my gesture is going to nothing at all. Anyone else feel the way I do about our scoiety dying down?

--I will flash my high beams--

i can't really answer your question because i just got a new scion...to be honest, before i bought the tC i never saw any around...but once i bought it, there everywhere...whenever i'm driving i'd always point out the other tc driving/parked near me...and one day my gf told me that she saw more than 5 tC's in 1 level of a parking structure at her school...

:nails:

it's not dying down, just yuppies buying them.

nawwwww its just you, everyone here hates you LOL. no ive noticed alot of people in fresno with scion's but most are either stuck up girls or old people, and both get all paraniod if your looking at them, especially if your waving.........drive down my street, ill wave at you if it makes you feel better...... LOL

guy in a tC waved at me the other day.. but he was going so quick i didn't have time to wave back.. lol.. oh well.. I felt bad, but he should've gone slower to give me a chance to wave back and be courteous :)

the other thing i've noticed is that the drivers in the xB's don't really care if there is another xB around and barely even notice the tC's.. I try to wave at them, they DON'T EVEN look at you! weird..

I was parked next to another tC at the grocery store the other day and we happened to both get back to our cars at the same time, he looked like some 14 year old kid with his 10 year old girlfriend and he just looked at me and laughed. Then I motioned to let him pull out of his parking space first and he gave me the finger.

1. Welcome to Fresno! The-snobby-wannabe-Los Angeles/San Francisco-town!
2. You'll pay MORE attention to your car if you see somebody driving the same car.
3. The tC costs like $17K. You knew sooner or later it would catch on. (Like the Honda Civic.)
4. All the more reason to trick-out your tC so you don't look like everybody else!

To be honest, I see more girls driving tCs than guys in this town. (And why do all the girls have that damn Ped. Spoiler on their tC? Eeewww IMO.) You want to know who "mad dogs" the worst? xB drivers! I thought we were all in the same family since we drive Scions, but I guess I'm wrong. The xB drivers are always giving me dirty looks at Stop Lights, Malls, and just driving down the street. I threw up the 'peace' sign to an xB driver and he flipped me off. What's up with that? I thought his xB was sweet, tried to show him so Scion love, and he gave me the finger. If you notice my age, I'm too old to be revving my engine. So, I don't know what I do. xA drivers are cool. They will wave 3/4 of the time. I look at it this way; in one word-ENVY! :come:

I still waive at people in other Scions.

Most don't waive back.

yup same thing here in MD i havent had mine to long but the day i got it i was driving and an xa waved to me from that day on i waved to all scions most gave dirty looks back or ignored so now i am not as quick to throw up a wave or thumb

it's not dying down, just yuppies buying them.
this is tru

Moved to OT... this is more than just tCs.

I feel ya Kilo and Hyghgynx. The Xbs i've noticed don't even care when i see them drive. Kilo, you know live like 5 min. away from me and i never see you on the road. Have to make a drive by that area. And for all these scion society people out there, you guys can't move muscles in your body to waive, it's 2 fingers, or a thumb. How hard can it possibly be. I work with a dude that has a scion xa and we talk about parts for our cars everyday. ANYWAYS is it that hard to give a thumbs up, or peace sign, or even flash your high beams. STAY COOL SCION NATION.

hmm.. reading this thread now is kinda funny.... all us xB/xA owners always used to post up saying "we all wave to other scion owners yet the tC peeps just give us dirty looks/ignore us/ or rev their engine and fly away...." I try to wave/nod or otherwise acknowledge other owners when i see them in time... but most now days, unless i know them... just dont seem to care... or something...

yo TCSTYLING, be careful when flashing your highbeams. In this city, you might flash the wrong peeps and then they will flip a U-turn and follow you and try to shoot you!! :gun: You gotta love this city!! :rofl: :rofl:

So many SCION owners are out now, that don't get it.

It's a shame, really.

tC's aren't rare anymore and most people that buy them know nothing about the community of xB's and xA's.

There is a fine line of ppl who you wave to & those who you dont.

The ones you wave to:
The ppl you know who bought there car because they wanted it for what it was & like it. Also those who put some parts on them, normaly.

The ones you dont wave to:
Normaly real young ppl who you just see a backwards facing hat (cant even see the head) and the ones who are fully stock. Some of the full stockers will wave, but most just got the car because it was a good buy, forced onto them, onlything there $ could get.

I tend to notice most scion drivers. I will try to catch up to xA & xB ppl in front of me (tC drivers tend to think Im trying to race & they will speed up :loser:) I give the head nod more then a wave, but if you wave I will try to also. Most scion owners give me the double take (guy driving a green box with pink stickers) then they tend to slow down & turn off real fast. I have tried to get a few to give me a spirited drive, but the only person who has was a tC.

We live in a good part of Fresno, but still i see a lot of shady people around our neighborhoods too. DAMN I HATE THIS....OOOO DAMN perfect example today when i was coming home from class, I was talking with my buddy from work at the stop light at every stop light, and he said something about a CF hood to me and when i was going to get one. He told me that there was a red tC with a CF hood around our area. I said i know and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, he pulls up next to us, my buddy exist right, and i try saying or waving at this guy and he just takes off like he's hardcore. WHAT A FREAKING DOUCHE BAG, sorry for my french if your virgin eyes haven't see this before. I almost puked on his car....HUGE SCION SOCIETY sticker on the back.

it's not dying down, just yuppies buying them.yuppies , rich kids , and old people.

you're a needy b*st*rd aren't you?

no need to flash me bro, i'll see you coming.


j/k, really

yea i use to live next to an xB owner, and whenever i'd pass him, it'd be like 2 kids staring down each other cause they're from different sides of the tracks. i guess we feel unique for owning the scion badge, but that same badge is shared by 3 models, so when you see another scion, it's like yea there's another scion family member but since it's a different model, it turns to sibling rivalry. at least that's how i saw it.

Yeah! F**k 'em all! We don't need them whouers.

Apparently not enough people know of this community of our, we must be slacking in our spreadage of ScionLife. Many are buying the Scion brand after seeing how cool and spectactularly awsome they are against regular Toyota's and such. They're still part of the family, they just don't know it yet(or never will).

yeah i already told him that....roll south of shaw and your a statistic for the POPO to clean up.....
as for Xb drivers, we were rolling in my friends 400 Hp evo, and this idot in his Xb reved on us...... thier are some real idiots in fresno.

and alot of the Tc drivers are girls....with the ped spoiler.

yeah i think i know who your talking about............LOL. thinks he's the sh*t. and im tired of getting notes about hey check out our website left on my car.....

Yeah peeps are buying them due to Katrina!!! I will wave if I see you!!

I like this feed back, to let some anger off or steam. And about every girl in fresno that drives a tC has a PED wing. But you have to admit they are hotties. I would actually like to get together some day with the scion guys that are not part of the scion scoiety club. Just to kick back and chill or seomthing.



bump

Hey guys there is nothing wrong with our car club. The guy you are talking about (red tc with carbon fiber hood) is one of the nicest guys I know. He is not stuck up about his car or anything like that he just really likes his car.

i like to wave at anyone, just to throw them off, you know for the rest of the day they are all "who was that guy".............fireturtle i PMd you about your club.

There are limits. One day some guy in a brand-new xB cut in front of me when I was passing him. I had to nail the brakes hard just to keep from rear-ending him. I get over in the right lane to pass him and as I go by he's waving like a fool. I gave him a one-fingered wave back, not because he was waving but because of his driving.

Since then nobody's waved at me at all, but I can live with that.

I still wave at tCs. If they're boxes, I hesitate. xAs are rare around here.

I think I've been waved back at one time.

well this guy were talking about seems to be a peice of work, likes to push up on people thinking he's gods gift to whatever, he has one of the only Tc's in fresno like this, and thinks people dont remember, or recognize him? I really dont know what he's thinking. But he reps a club that is supposedly a reputable one, and he's making them all look foolish with his behavior, One bad member of a club makes or breaks your reputation.........

i think this is a mark on how society has changed, not so much just Scions.

it also depends where you live sometimes also

when i lived in TN or AR i noticed those areas i lived people were still old fashioned where they would wave if you pass each other on a 2 lane road, here in north FL its not too bad either most of the time

in CA lol yeahhhhhh whatever, you wave at someone in socal and its like your insulting someones mother or something (really stupid), hell people in CA hardly will even hold a door for ya and look at your weird if you hold the door for them

its an odd thing honestly, what is it with people losing basic human friendly nods and waves etc....??

i dont always wave now, but i always notice you...and i always at least try and do the respectable "nod" ..its a way of saying YEAH i see ya, whats up

i read/saw somewhere someone say the only emotion younger generations know how to show these days are HATE and ANGER lol ..sometimes it seems that way, though there are a LOT of good peeps out there too..the bad ones give a negative perception thats hard to shake

Because they play too much GTA:San Andreas and listen to 50 Cent. :lol: :lol: j/k 2 negatives don't equal a positive all the time.

Alright, you are trying to say that we should all be friendly but look at the way you are attacking me just because I didn't see you wave. You want to talk to other scion owners and keep it friendly but by posting this you don't seem to be too friendly of a person yourself..... I'm sorry I didn't see you wave but automaticaly assuming that I am a horrible person and putting down my entire club just isn't right. Don't be a hypocrit, practice what you preach. :nope:

Im still waiting to wave to my first scion owner. The TC is less obvious me than Xb's.

The other day I noticed a car behind me with the pasager point and talking excidely. I flipped my rear Wiper once and waved. I was greated with a warm smile and laugh, and new I had them.

Ill wave on the way by, I still thinks Xb is the coolest car in its class. :)
