I was helping my friend move into his new apartment today and I parked infront of a garage. The man came out a short while after and asked, "Who's Toyota is out front?"

I thought that was cool. He was an older guy, prob late 40's. Usually people don't know what to call it, but he definitely knew it was a Toyota. He was very nice about it as well.

Yes, some of us older people know it is a Toyota. And it is cool.

 

mine is a toyota on the outside and a scion on the inside...lol!

 

some of us old timers keep up with the times

 

you have an oreo as a car

 

Yep...some of us old timers can still even remember our own names as well as current events and some of us are even nice guys...

 

That's cool. I get LOTS of "Is that one of those Honda Element hybrids?"
I am like, "WTF?..."
OH! I just remembered, does anybody have all or most of the Scion CD samplers? I need to get those because the music is awesome. If you or somebody you know has one, I'll pay for a copy (at least shipping!). Thanks!!

 

On a flip side I had a younger dude (somewhat unsavory) I'd say around mid 30s come up to me at my office and said " hey man look at you parking your car all back here away from the other cars and sh** " I replied " yeah man I park here because its under a camera" the guy then walks over to it starts looking in the windows and turns to me and says (no f*in lie) "well man I wish you luck with it, it a beautiful Camry, oh and how much did you pay for that kit or was that factory"... In my head I was LMAO I own a TC dude and its not even a 4 door and I dont have a kit not even the lip kit on it...

 

mine is a toyota on the outside, and a party on the inside!!!

 

party in a box! nice!

 

mine's a Scion, I really don't care for the bB look... i bought a Scion and it's going to stay a Scion!

i always get the comment ... *who makes them things* , i want to tell them *Bunch of them Japanese folks*, but i usually reply with *Toyota*

 

^^ Nice...

 

Nice,

Sorry if I came off sounding like older people forget things...totally not my intentions.

This has to be the most replies I have ever gotten and or views to anything I have posted...I went to sleep and had no replies then POW! 11...not counting my own.

Thanks guys,
-Brian!

Perhaps I will get to the "forgetting" stage soon, but I try to put it off as long as possible. Perhaps that is why I take pictures after every mod, so I can remind myself how much fun I had working with the BOX. And if my memory fails, I still have the pics to refresh my memories. Just having fun with it. :D

 

That is cool. I always get the "Is that one of them there Hybrids" comments. I got so tired of it I had a sticker made for the rear that says "HYBRID". problem solved

 

that is friggin sweet

but yet "some of you old timers" dont know when to upgrade to a better battery, and have to get a little juice from the youngins....(nope, i will never let that go, its some funny stuff, especially all the deconstruction that was involved)

 

"Older guy"? <snerk>

I remember my late 40's!

I hafta admit, though, I didn't know what a Scion was then, except a word that means "offspring" . . . . ;^)

Usually i'm asked the following:

"Whats a bB and who makes it?" (front bb emblem, debadged rear so i have to tell them the xb is the usdm version of the bb and so on)

"Hows pick up, does it have a v6?"

"How much do they cost?"


I haven't been asked these in a while though, i'm rarely ever asked and i see at least 2-3 scions everyday when i go out so..

 

my state(NJ) lists my Xb as a toyota (make) and a Scion (model).... seemed a little strange Doesn't even mention it being an Xb! I guess toyota hasn't let go as much as ford does with mercury, etc..

 

the funniest thing ive ever heard was an older guy like around 60 asked if it was "one of those kit cars" i just kinda laughed and told him what it was
