Default Do you love your xB?

Who turns around to look at their xB after they park it?

I'm guilty of it.

Best damn car I ever did own. It truly is the modern day version of the "peoples wagon".

I love my Box. I love how it drives, how it looks and how it sounds. I've received compliments from people who hate them, love them and are indifferent on them. Giving rides and hauling stuff for friends has changed their minds about the box in general.

And I've yet to date a woman who liked it! Grrrr.

This may not count as much because I have the 2nd gen box, but I'm always staring at my xB. I love it to death and always spend a couple seconds looking at it after I park it.

Date a girl who already has an xB.

Zman, I am so guilty of this. I have two 1gen xB's now, so when I drive by the house in the one I'm checking out how the other looks. With the one I just got, I look back when I'm walking into work for like a week everythime I do a mod. First is was the steelie trim rings, then the hub spacers, and now I just put in Clazzio covers and want to see how they look through the glass.

Yes, i almost always turn around as i'm walking away to get one last look, my wife just laughs at me. I know i've said this before, but it's an instant classic, it's got an aggressive look like an old Skyline or Datsun 510. Another thing, i've noticed in Ohio anyway, that xB owners wave to each other, it's cool.

Sounds like you're ready for a makeover.

I think a custom paint color would be nice.
