Default I got an unhappy look from another xB driver.

Minding my own business, coming home with a box of chicken and biscuits, about a mile from my place. Up ahead a black xB pulls into traffic. The xB is still rather rare around here, so seeing another one is a bit of an occasion. I gave a little wave as I rolled by. He looked at me like I had flipped him the finger. Sheesh, what's eating him? Maybe he's ____ed he isn't the only xB in this part of town anymore. Boo hoo.

I think you may be reacting too harshly. How can you be sure a 'look at me' can be so negative at the distance between 2 vehicles. Lighten up, and don't assume the finger until you get it.

I'm old too; possibly older than you. I just met with a teen xB owner face to face, and xB to xB, and we related very well in our enthusiasm for our xB's! Relax... :D RPM

Maybe he's intimidated by your look.

Very rarely does someone driving an xB wave at me (when I'm in my own). - Even rarer do I wave back.

Everyone around here just sees it as "just another car"

I must be an a-hole

You're not that; Instead you're a respected member of the ScionLife family... And you made a very smart decision to buy an xB! :D RPM

Yea, I have to admit, I don't get the friendly Scion wave that I get in my Subaru from other Subby owners

On second thought, it might have had something to do with having Nelly cranked up with the windows open. Maybe he was having a perception meltdown. "Middle-aged white man listening to hip-hop. Does not compute. Buzz fizz spoink buzz..."
