Default lots of xBs out there

I think the most I've seen driving through a college town on the way home is seven. Usually driven by women, and stock. I think it's good.

Alot of the younger drivers wave to me, most other drivers I see in xBs are in their 60s or 70s and probly cant wave and drive at the same time.

yeah, around where i am, a lot of people driving the boxes are mom and dad type folks, so they're not too savvy on the whole uhh ... community thing ...

*waves*

In Vegas I've had several other xb drivers stop and say hi - or i'll come out to the parking lot and find another xb right next to mine. (and I park far away from other cars)

Seems pretty friendly here

I like how older folks are buying it, will keep the values up and the insurance rates down if there are owners out there who don't thrash it. I just hope they all don't dump their "ugly little box" if gas goes back to $2.

Almost no xBs here in SE Minnesota, but we visited the Boston area last weekend (flew in) and there were a BUNCH, especially down in Cape Cod. I chatted with one shop owner there who has a Camo like ours and she's seen them driven mostly by older drivers . . . like me! ;^) We have enough Life Experience to know a GOOD thing when we see it!! ;^) ;^)

In So. Cal. you see more boxes than new Civics.... Seriously.

About 80% are bone stock though.

I know I shouldn't knock the older xB drivers, I actually think its really cool when I see an older person driving one thats got mods on it. Its just that they are few and far between, especially around here.

i went thru boulder (college town) the other day, and I thought I was in soCal... so many freakin xBs...

that's cool.

there's one older dood out here, like 60s that has a two-tone green/white xb with rims and a drop...I pulled up to him one day and asked him if he wanted to come to a scion club bbq and he told me to get lost.

No offense taken.....You just can not stereotype people. I meet a lot of older guys at meets that have mods and are really into their cars. There are a lot of stock boxes out there though because the owner saw a good deal on a roomy 4 door car that gets great gas mileage.
