Default Well, SOMEONE's impressed.

I work at home so I'm seldom out in rush hour traffic. But I had to go to a meeting today. As traffic was creeping along (how do these people do this every damn day?) I heard a horn toot next to me. I looked over and saw a guy in a junker Mazda enthusiastically pointing at my xB and giving me the thumbs up sign. OK, dude. Glad to make your commute exciting. I imagine the box looked extra small since I was sandwiched between two semis.

Funny how that happens just about as much as when they point and laugh. Lots of looks, good or bad, these boxes generate.

I have yet to see someone point and laugh, but that might have something to do with the gun rack on my roof. I'm not sure.

I used to think that my Bug would be the only car to get this response. But the Box gets more.

Maybe everyone is used to the Bug by now.

Leaving the dealership form having the oil changed, two toothless nubiles "woohooed" my box. Then, they saw my 40 yr. old a$$, and suddenly got quiet. I heart my box.

I had an entire school bus of elementary school kids stick their heads out the window and waving and screaming, "It's a Scion! Hi, Mr. Scion Man!"

I was at a friend's house and his nephews(5 & 9) were over to see him. The 5 year old told me "Man your car is tight! I like it." and then the 9 year old said "It's just a stupid car shaped like a box with a motor, 4 wheels, and a steering wheel." That's when I said "It's better than what you have" and I punched him in the throat and kicked him into the TV.

Homie don't play that.

You should have seen it when it happened. The sound his head made when it bounced off the glass was priceless. I wish I could set it as my ringtone on my cell.
