Whether they inspect it or not, Scion(unless I'm mistaken) is all about having everything on the table. Facts are brought out right off the bat and that is how they do it.

How would you feel if you didn't know it happened(because who would think a dealership would let something so foolish happen to a brand new car), and you bought it. A few days later you bump into someone who mentions this site and they come on and say, "Hey guys I just bought a new xB RS4. I got number *** and i love it." Then the next person replies with the link to the thread where his/her car is being toyed around with by people who obviously can't respect something that isn't theirs.

Only peoblem with that is if there is damage it would be out of sight and only found by a mechanic. It wouldn't have been near as bad if they atleast put it on blocks so all that weight wasn't on the suspension and wheels. They were having TOO MUCH FUN to worry about it tho.

This is the kind of crap that drives me nuts. I've had bad luck with cars and knowing these retarded dealerships let crap like that happen makes me really wonder about the 42 miles that were on my 'new' Scion when I bought it. I build jet engines for a living and we baby the hell out of them. We reject parts for cosmetic scratches... on a friggin' engine. It's called pride in what you sell, and obviously that dealership has none.

why didnt they use a friends xB for that..not one sitting at the dealershipp..deee deeee deeeeeee....I think scion should be notified about that dealership...they are obviously not trustworthy of selling cars...instead they do stupid cirus acts!!!!! i think if the car was bought and the OWNER had allowed it..it would be cool...but sitting at the lot....seriously...how dumb you got to be!!!

I would be furious if I saw the Scion I just bought with a bunch of people shoved inside of it. I know that dealerships don't treat cars very well but that is no excuse to abuse the car for fun.

I am new so do posts on ScionLife get deleted a bunch by the moderators? Is this sites posts censored?

Not usually till things get outta hand or the mods don't like what you're saying.

Scion was notified and I heard back. This is the response I got.....

Thank you for contacting Scion.

We appreciate your bringing this to our attention. This information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate personnel within our organization to address the issue.
_______________________________________________________________________

So we'll see if anything comes from this. I'll prolly contact them later to try and find out what the final outcome was from this stunt.

I don't understand why this is a big deal to you, bB2NER. What do you hope will happen now that Scion Corp knows?

I guess Cherrybox did not like what you were saying? Why did he care so much?

Dealer never should have allowed that. Kids were ignorant.

He cared because he was one of the "masterminds" of the antics.

I don't know?.... Maybe make an example out of the guilty parties so this sort of crap doesn't happen to Innocent Scions ever again?
Anyone that doesn't see what's wrong with doing this to a BRANDFREAKINNEW Scion and a possible first time Scion OWNER has major issues with their Scruples!!!!! Think about it real hard Frosty355!!!!

A Scion will NEVER be JUST a car. I realize it was done in fun, so why not use an xB owned by one of those people that were just having fun??? Because no one would want to risk hurting their own car . If you can't stand decent people that know right from wrong maybe you should stop using SL. Scion people in general are VERY GOOD PEOPLE!!!!

It may even be just a car, but I still wouldn't want it being the subject of "fun" by the dealership before I buy it without my knowledge. If they want to have fun, use their own cars.

I'd be really ____ed if I went and bought my new car and found out later that it had been used as a practical joke. The dealer supposedly okayed.

Look at the shoes on the dashboard. I can't believe there is no damage.

Sounds like Cherrybox is trying to cover up for the damage.

It was funny hearing the ones involved speak about how much care they gave it while doing this. Sure doesn't look like the case in the pics. I mean you all know how easy the interior scuffs in the xB. They even got a shot showing how much the tires were bulging. It sure looks like they had "TONS" of fun at that poor xBs expense.

I just crunched some numbers and was surprised to see. If the average weight of each person was 150lbs. and there was 20 of them... That means there was almost 3,000 lbs in that ****. That is some heavy weight. My 1 ton van can barely haul that much gross lbs. And it has rear airbags to support it.

Thats over 3 times the maximum weight the xB can support!!!

Triple!!
