Default What do you do when you park/drive next to another box?

I parked next to another BOP xB today and I left them a note that told them about ScionLife. Hopefully, they'll join us, if they're not already here. I've run into a couple on the highway, where we'd honk and wave and pretty much match speed to drive next to eachother.

What do you guys do when you see another box on the road?

This has been posted many times so I'm sure they will lock it soon. I'm glad I get to post here before they do!!!

No one ever looks at me. We don't have that many around but the few that I do see don't act like they care. I always honk and wave.

Have a great day!

I live in CT so there are very few on the roads. Hell, I see more Bentleys on the road that Scions.

What I do when I see other Scion's on the road:

1) Drive Next to them...honk...Wave!
2) Give them a "card" with Team ScioNRG's info and my info
3) Tell them about Scionlife

What I do when I see other Scion's Parked:

Same Steps as above except step 1

:D :D :D :D

I hope the owner of the car I saw is either cool or a hot, single girl.
It was a 5-speed, so they automatically earn cool points.

When I see one parked I get out of my car and go over to their box and I lick the door handles, all four of them and the rear hatch. So beware of wet door handles

I usually try to either

1. Overtake them from the inside/outside even if there is barely any room to pass, even if half of my wheels need to go into a gutter to give me traction to complete the turn

or

2. Run them off the road like Shingo on a windy mountain road pass because I can't lose in a gumtape deathmatch to a silly xB.

You're forgetting rule number 1-there are no girls on the internet.

It's a SomethingAwful injoke.

I love xB-xB encounters!!

Haven't parked next to another xB yet. . . BUT, I DID park next to a stretch Lincoln limo the night I bought my box. The limo was parked across 6 parking spaces.
I HAD to park parallel to him, about 6 feet to his left. :twisted:

Needless to say, my Thundercloud xB was shinin'.

Went in to the restaurant to have dinner. . . . when my wife and I came out, a crowd had gathered around the xB. . . NOT the limo!!!
Ha!!

(Wish I had pics. The limo driver was P-Oh'd!!)
