Default Staring out my window at work.

Im at work right now. Decided to take a break and stare out my window. I got lucky and found a spot near the front parking row. I see this guy walking by my car, he stares at it for a sec but continues walking like no big deal, then suddenly stops as if he realized he made a mistake by not giving my car a more detailed look. Walks back a couple of steps to take a closer look, then continues to walk but this time he walks away with his head slighty turned to keep my car in his view. I laughed to myself a little bit. I wonder if anyone saw and thought I was crazy.

Ok 30 minutes left until this work day is over

I can always see where my car is from my 8th story window. My co-worker and I like to set off the panic alarm when people walk by. I'm easily entertained.

That's one of the things I do like about this car. Where I am, they're rare enough (maybe 1 or 2 others around) that when I'm driving people are pretty clueless as to what it is and always at least do a doubletake.

I was filling up at the gas station and this guy pulls in and gets out to buy a pack of cigarettes. When he comes back out he's walking around my car checking it out from all angles and then compliments me on the color. I was like Yup! That's why I bought it

When I had my other vehicle, it had a remote start. Whenever I'd be leaving and someone was way ahead of me, I'd just start it up from a 50 feet behind or something while they were right by it. Was mildly entertaining, but I think the panic alarm would easily top that.

Yeah, I get people eye balling the box all the time. You can really see the love
hate thing in a lot of peoples faces...they see it's got style, but too many hate the
shape.

Meh, whatever. I'm happy with it.

My girlfriend gets a kick when people give the thumbs up, or when other Scion
owners wave...that's cool too!

Not to be mean or anything but I'm going to ask a question here. People always call me a dude and pm me about my car with messages like "Hey dude where did you get your intake, let me know bro!" Do people think malina is a boys name??? Maybe I should change it to sExYtCgrrrl4U or something so people will realize I am 100% female!

I guess it depends on where people come from...around here 'dude' is an asexual term used when talking to friends or aquintances...listen to me, LIKE I AM some kind of brainiac or something HAHAHA...but truthfully I need to stop calling peeps 'dude' all together...unless we're talking in person...anyways...didn't mean to offend you...Malina is obviously a femine name...

I've got Windows in my office, that's what i use to get to ScionLife... Sorry, couldn't hold it in.

My office is more like a closet, including the sliding door... But if the attorney across the hall leaves her door open then i can get a little view of SF Bay between two skyscrapers.

I don't like to do the panic button, but I will lock the doors when i see someone around it so the lights all flash. Makes them wonder if its a proximity thing....

FM is the shizzle!! Why hasn't there been a "FM superiority" thread yet? SW and BSP have had their day.
