i was at a gas station and this older guy walks up to the front of my car (trying to figure out what kinda madness this was....) and i see his mouth going "bb" (my front bb badge).... then he steps over to look at my hubcaps and his mouth goes "bb" (i took off the "scion" adhesive center caps)... haha poor guy... probably still has no idea what it is!

another time, i was at another gas station filling up... a car zooms by on the street and someone yells out "SCIONS RULE!" that made me smile :D

and this past weekend i was driving down a street in perris and a pedestrian yelled out "SCION!" hehe... for me, the attention never gets old.

 

The best is driving down LAS VEGAS BLVD...People just breaking necks everywhere...

 

Is it just me or what??
maybe 90% of compliments on my xB are from ages 40-60.
Old people seem to really like my car..i am in Los Angeles county.
They are usually the ones who ask:
What kind of car is it? Who makes it? How do you like it?

I thought the xB was geared towards 18-35 age group...who knows many old peole will get xB and add all accesories like the Boost Mobile Phone commercials, and holla, "Where u at?" :mrgreen:

 

I'm always tripping on people's different reactions to the xB. Some people scowl and shake their head...thinking: "what a phugly car...why would anyone drive that thing??"...or they dig it and give thumbs up and laugh/smile. I've seen kids (12-16) just totally hypnotized by it...staring all bug-eyed at it from the back seats of their parents' car on the freeway. Today this kid ~14 was standing on the curb making all these box-like /right angle gestures. But the best was when I pulled up to the post office mailboxes, this lady comes up and asks me "Oh! are you picking up?...then she did a double-take and realized "Oh you're not the mailman" I just laughed and said "I know my car's boxy...but sorry I'm not the mailman!"

 

haha thats funny...

try to get the license plate that says "MAILBOX".

 

The best story i got was when i was in las vegas cruizing down las vegas blvd and a couple in a H2 rolled up next to me (of course the lady had to be a blond) rolled down her window and asked,"wut kind of car is that?" i replied, " dont you know? its a H3 duh?" she saids back to me with an excited look, "no way and turned to the guy and yells to him "hey honey check out the new H3," I couldnt take it anymore and busted up laughing and told her its a Scion made from toyota. man u just had to be there, i have to agree with white toaster in vegas there was alot of head turning. I went to almost all the casinos on the strip and only saw one other scion Xb and it was also from California. Man i sure feel sorry for the people in Canada the the other states who havent experienced the scion. great car in my opinion. rock on!!!

 

I was pulling up to a Mobile station last night.
This guy in a brand new Lexus SC430 looks hard at my car with his mouth wide open, he then looks at his car and I saw a hint of depression.

I was laughing so hard. He could of bought 3 xB's

 

Was waiting at a set of lights next to a friday's last night . My buddy says that there's people in friday's lookin at my car. I look over to see 5 windows full of people looking at my car. I just laughed and waived as the light turned green and I took off.

Best one though was the chick in the new vw bug with the plate "prncss" who did a double take when I pulled into a gas station to fill up. She asked me what it was, so I told her. An older gentleman came out of the station and the girl said " Dad, I want one of those instead of this" Poor guy, should have seen his face, it was like someone just kicked him in the nutz.

 

Waiting for some friends ... someone some guy who just got out of an suv asked "I hear its got a lot of power".

I told him "Its got enough"

I thought it was funny "a lot of power". he he

 

I have to say that I've gotten so many types of reactions over my Xb as well. I've even had a guy who saw me parallel park into a slot, and he stands there and watches me and politely waited till I got out before asking me what it was. The BF drives a souped up Dodge pickup and he wishes he had one. He took my Xb to go shopping one day and when he got home, he threw me the keys saying, "Here! I'm tired of people asking me what the hell I'm driving when I'm in your car." Apparently he was mobbed by people at Safeway and Target. I agree with a previous poster. I should just go do advertising for Scion driving the car all over the place and giving out brochures. Lastly, yeah, what's with people revving their engines when I'm at the light? Like I'd really race your stupid ___ BMW anyway.

 

0wn3d!!1!


I can't wait for the looks too. My Mom has a Jeep Liberty, I haven't told her yet, cuz I want her to ask if it's a supped-up & slammed Liberty.

 

No bull____, I was driving around in my xB trak car, when a couple guys in a Acura Legend with a dealer tag was pacing me. He would get to my right, then in front of me, then the left and then behind me. He repeated that several times. My guess was he was trying to find out who the manufacturer was. Finally he yelled out the window to ask about the car so I pulled to a gas station and gave him my card. Turned out, the guy was one of our wholesalers and he ordered one the following week! You just never know....

I got the thumbs up from some 17-18 year old-ish girls while driving to school........and recently a thumbs up from a very hobo looking fella while driving home from my girlfriend's. Much love to my hobomies.

people always try to speed up next to me, try to look at the emblem...but everytime they got no luck...

i hate it, why not ask me :twisted:

 

Last Friday I was at a light and a mini cooper drove up. They was checkin out the car and so I rolled down the window and said "How do yal like what I did to the box your car got shipped in?" They were lauging so hard if they waz cows milk woulda come out there nozes.

 

I can't to get mine and stir the sh*t on the eastcost.

 

the wife and i were in santa cruz the other day and this lady in a brand new (paper plates) denali literally had her head out the window looking back at us rolling up to a red light ... i slow down and stop ... she runs into the car ahead of her ... attention non scion owners .... please watch where your going

 

Dumba$$ I love it

 

uh....perhaps, that woman was "mooOOning" At yOOu ??? Post your pic. That way we know for sure if it was the car or it was your bOd....hehehehe

blumonde
p.s. uh..i was bored. Btw, two weeks ago, a cop stopped me and asked what kind of car I was driving.

 

Have no clew as to what it is. Went there to try and get a mooing horn (and get it installed). All the guys from the shop came out an asked all kinda questions...however ... they didn't know how to install the mooing horn that they sell (darn it). So I returned it. The BullBox still just beeps.

Why do cows have bells ... 'cause the horns don't work darnit!
