Default Ever happen to you in the xB???

When you are sitting still at a traffic light waiting for the green and a car comes up behind you.You are looking at your rear view mirror and the person behind you keeps edging up to see what the heck you are driving,you can see there eyeballs popping out and talking to themeselve,and they keep nudging forward and you keep nudging forward because your afraid there going to tap you ****???This seems to happen way to much!!Always seems like an SUV or truck with the "Cow Catcher" brush guard.I may get a big **** magnet on my rear hatch that says "It's A TOYOTA"

Yea, the lack of badges not only looks good, it's fun too.

That happens all the time.

The worse thing is. When I am on the highway going 80 i pass alot of cars, some of them fly out of the slow lane, floor it and are sitting right on my ___, ON THE HIGHWAY, do you know how nerve wracking that is? Then I get back in the right lane and slow to 70, and so does the Lincoln. Then it slowly approaches me from behind eyes squinting, and once they read the emblem they back off..

I still get looks around Boston, even after seven months of driving it around. There are so many more on the road, but I guess people don't see them. A lot of folks think it's an Element. Perish the thought.

I like it when the look at the rear, then speed up and slow down as they can view the front. I have the RS1 billet grill, so they cant tell from the front either. But it is funny to watch them practically twist their necks off trying to figure out what im driving.

I don't have the xB badge, and I have the SCION badge....And I get looks all the time. ALL the time. And people ask me about the car whenever they can. It's kinda cool, and yet weird.

That's hot shiite. Been waiting for that one..

I asked this in another thread: Maybe it's just my work schedule or lack of interest from other people at gas stations, but it seems like no one has asked about my xB (except one driver in bumper to bumper traffic). Is it just seen around more often.. so no one really wonders anymore? :?

Ive had them scoot into the crosswalk to try and read the front badge. It wasnt too long ago either. You would think they had seen at least one commercial. Ive had them get close to the rear but its debadged so there isnt much to read.
