Could my psychotic facial expressions be scaring them?
I've noticed that too!

I also haven't seen anyone actually DRIVING a tC or xA around here. I saw a PW tC parked, and there used to be a Thunder Cloud Metallic (aka Silver ) xA just down the block.

I dont honk or wave at anyone, regardless of the model. I just give a noticeable glance.

Thats why I dont honk or wave. In this crazy messed up society of ours which is the MOST violent society of all stable industrial/post industrial societies... People could easily take a honk and a wave the wrong way and pull out a shotgun and blow your car away. Well thats extreme, but I like to be cautious. If they wave, I will wave back, but I probably wont initiate it.

I feel the majority true Scion owners got their cars awhile ago. Now the mean new people are starting to get them, mostly for the gas mileage not because they love them for what they are, so not everyone will wave or honk because they have no idea of our true love of everything Scion. And yes, this is a shame

Recently (right before I got my xB) a guy got some major road rage against me. I didn't do anything to him and he cut me off and started slamming on his brakes. He was trying to race me or something and he lost and got ____ed. I eventually hit him (after the fifth time he slammed on his brakes) and he jumped out of his car, shoved down my window and reached *inside my car*. I thought he was going to kill me. Instead, he just ripped out my rearview mirror and screamed in my face. Turns out the car is registered under some lady who is wanted by the police.

I live in (what we all thought was) a nice city.

People are insane. I figure xB owners are different - quirky, not insane. I still won't honk at someone who cuts me off, but I'll honk and grin at people driving Scions.

I'm embarrased to use the horn. Have you heard that thing? It's like asking to be egged.

Considering I live in L.A. (not the friendliest drivers around) people usually don't even look at me if they are in their Scions and see me in mine. Maybe I need a friendlier state.
