Default XB names

When I first got my XB RS 2.0, the wife called it a Short Bus. When I drove it on "The Tail of the Dragon", it was called "Sponge Bob Square Box " see www.killboy.com April section of photos.
If I wanted to be like everyone else, I would still have my GMC truck, or a Honda, or any other vehicle you see thousands of each and every day. It's good to be different.

Well I believe in Japan the BB is called a "mini box van" which is a very accuracte description.

Somoene here on the forums called the xB an "angry toaster". My grandmother called it a milk delivery truck. That really shows her age. My 2 great aunts made some reference to Mandrake the Magician about it, I still dont get that one. My colleagues at work simply call it a "box".

Toaster. I saw a sticker on one that had a pic of a toaster next to a pic of an xB and below them it stated "Seperated at Birth".

there's actually one running around with a tag that says SHRTBUS. Made me laugh :D

But I call mine Vixen. I've always named my cars...guess i'm a bit eccentric, huh?

well, its the price you pay to wanting to be different.. i just take it and throw it back at them i'm pretty quit witted so its not hard for me to pop back off, but here in tn, rednecks are the majority... so u almost always can pop off a redneck joke back at them to really set the flame on fire.

I was driving on the interstate several months back and pulled beside a white Astro van, it looked a lot like my Polar White xB, so I rolled down the window and screamed "DADDY?!!"

True story, fortunately he wasn't carrying a gun. I got myself so tickled I did it again a few days later with my gf in the car. She said she would drive from then on.

I've heard the term "XBox" floating around, I think that's actually kinda cool to call it an XBox.

Yes, they do look like little UPS vans...however, as of yet, they don't come in brown :p And no, the new penny color for the 4.0 doesn't count.
