Default Why toaster?

Why do people call the xb a toaster. IT looks more like a washing machine that fell on its back. That is the first thing I, and a lot of other people I talked to, thought of it. The hood is the control panel. I see no control panel on a toaster.

the hood is the lever you push down to start toasting....

the xB is a toaster....the H2 is the washing machine....(size matters)

So a friend of mine the other day asked me "So what does it want to be when it grows up?" He drives a F350. To which I replied with nary a trace of hesitation. "Whene it grows up it wants to be a mail box!" He and every guy in earshot started rolling, I got a chuckle they got a laugh its all good. I personally love my little milk truck regardless of the comments hirled in my general direction

It's called a toaster because it will toast whoever you race against....



Crap, who am I kidding? It's called a toaster becasue you are toast when you race someone else...

Because "toaster" is shorter and more fun to say than "washing machine on its back."

Toaster? I dont know who started that CRAZE! but when I first saw the xB driving along the first thought that poped in my head was whoa check out that LUNCH BOX looking thing. To me it will always be a lunch box. Dont get me wrong I love my lunch box, but I just dont get toaster.

My 6 year old son thinks the xB looks like a mini UPS truck. Maybe Dale Jarret will race the scion???

What's surprising (though I guess it shouldn't be) is there are people so into toasters that they'd get toaster tattoos.
