So I went out to get me some dinner. As I was driving... I remembered my friend telling me that the Toyota Dealer had a couple of Demo Scions.

Scions are not coming to Chicago until June... But I still wanted to try out the demo xB!!

I went into the dealership... and like always... I am ignored... So I go up to one of the salesman.. he is mid 20's like myself.. I say hi... "do you work here?" He says yes... I tell him that I want to check out the xB... he says ok.

I tell him that my friend sells Scions in California.. (DibujoB from this board)

I then ask if I can test drive it... he says "I don't know" and goes and talks to his boss. His boss says sure...

So he goes and gets the keys... it is parked outside right infront... sidways and up on the curb... desplayed like.

He hands me the keys and says "Want to take it out by yourself?" I am like Yeah.... (on the inside I am like: :shock: )

So I take it out for a drive... and I am getting tons of weird looks from other motorists... I think the square box with wheels confused them... I was worried someone was going to swerve into me. (BTW the car was an auto.. :( the 5-speed won't be here until they start selling them in June).



I quickly pull over into a parking lot and snap a couple quick pictures.

The car was a blast to drive... and if I had the money I would love to get one as a second car... And PIMP it out!!! 8)

I went to the Libertyville Toyota.

For the love of all things holy Justin, will you please change your sig? :lol: Ali is going to put the beat down on you.

So I assume you'll be trading in that crappy RSX for an xB when they launch!


Ali and I will be coming back to Chi town for a visit in June, so can't wait to see all you guys again!

Be up to the fellow RSX owner. I bought my Silver Type s in Aug 01.
Sick ride.
The Toaster is my beater car for city driving, however, I love it just as much as my DC5.



The Box :twisted:

I must compliment you on your top-notch photo skills, that's one of the best glamour xB shot's i've seen.

Thanks... I love takin pictures of cars... I wish I had more time on the demo test drive, I could have gone to a better location.

Plus... I think you all have seen enough stock looking xBs to last you a life time!! :P

For my photos... I do spend a lot of time editing them in photoshop. You can see in the first xB picture... I took out the other cars in the parking lot... So all you would see is the Scion. (It was kinda a quick edit.. so not the best quality)

You can see more of my work by clicking the link in my sig... I will spend over an hour editing each picture sometimes... removing signs.. edit colors... basicaly.. everything...

I need to get out of my apartment more!! :P

cool, thanks.

btw, nice work on the "beachproject" pic. 8)
