Default Seeing other Scions

I went to Super Wally world tonight and I saw 2 other xB's a Hot Lava and a White one. And I swear my heart rate increased and my breathing sped up just at the site of one then came that frantic waving at the driver, the hot lava was loaded with peeps all smiling and waving back. And i recognized the hot lava just from the headlights, and I saw the roof of the white one and knew immediately that it was an xB. I was wondering how do ya'll respond when you see an xB or an xA for that matter????

I always honk and wave but no one ever does it back. I don't know if they don't see me or if they don't care. :?

i usually pull up next to them, slip it in neutral rev it a few times, drop a gear and speed off. my dc exhaust usually gets their attention if its a guy driving. girls usually aren't impressed. lol

When I see another xA.. they either honk, give me a thumbs-up, or just smile/wave. If I see an xB, I usually get this thug look, or they look away from me (lol).

Silly wabbit, hatin' on the xA. You guys are already the red-headed stepchildren in the Scion Family, , no point in making it worse.. I see quite a few xAs around now and then. I try to give them a wave too.

I caught up to and passed 2 TCM xbs on 580 in Oakland on the way home today, within about 2 miles of each other. Neither of them seemed to look at me and I always try to slow down and honk if traffic and my pace permits :twisted: It is funny, the little excitement rush when I spot another Box, and I am always scanning traffic in general and for Scions in particular...


I just figure they are just so busy enjoying their Scions, they don't even notice the world around them.

I have seen no Xa's on the road in my area as of yet nor as I am driving around DFW'Texas.I have seen maybe a total of 5 Xb's 2 White 2 Thundercloud and 1 Black.I usually give em the thumb's up and smile and on occasion beep my horn. Maybe I just need to get out more and I will see some more,if I could only quit working so much. I too also try and catch up to one if I see one to check it out and see what kind of wheel's it has etc.Enjoy the Box.

04 Xb RS 1.0 #0686 of #2100
17-inch Black Motegi Racing RT-5's with Toyo Proxes All-Season 215/40ZR-17
The Box is pretty much loaded out.




ScionMikey04 Let's just all try and get along and live in peace.

I usually grab my pistol from the center console and fire a few shots in the air, then I pop the rear hatch and grab hold of the ropes I have tied to the steering wheel, and I kinda water ski off the back of the xb, while waving at the other Scionist.
Seriously, I never see any others. I live around B-more and I know there are many around but I never catch em. To busy day dreaning to Xm radio I guess.

I've only seen one xA...it was an uneventful sighting. I have seen a silver and a white xB...the white one was the first Scion besides mine that I ever saw on the road, and I too tried to catch them and got all frantic behind the wheel, but I don't think they saw me!

I don't see any in this area of New York. Just one Hot Lava that sits in the same parking lot everyday. I have a feeling though after June things are going to be a little different. This car is technically not even really promoted yet. In a yhear or so we'll be like the MINI COOPER os PT LOSER, too many, too boring.
