Today I saw this old lady driving a TCM xB and it had a loud muffler I was like WTF? Then I thought about it.... It must be the TRD Sport Muffler. Here license plate frame said Long Beach BMW. I was saying what did that person do? Trade it in for a BMW 760Li???? I just walked away laughing. I am starting to think that there are more older people driving xBs then us youngns. NO OFFENSE TO THE OLDER HERE ON SCION LIFE!!!!!

wingshelpmefly

im running into the same problem!!!! all the people who drive XBs around here (Cincinnati) are OLD OLD.... Im all like excited to see an XB and then I catch up with them and it's some like 60 year old guy or dude. But yea no offense to the people on here, I'm talking about the old people who have no idea that they're driving a Scion.

How old are you?

Yes old people drive xBs and young people drive xBs. Back in the days I was upset thinking the xB was not cool because some 30+ people drive it with kidz but now with 2006 just around the corner I see all these cool cars coming to America and thats because of the sale of the xBs. So I say let the old farts drive it I mean they drive Civics and Focus's and those are youth oriented cars. Think of it this way the more xBs sold the less SUVs on the road.

Kenshi, I know we were talkin about the Smart before, but what other "cool" vechicles are you looking forward to in the near future?

Placebo

nissan cube,march, sentra, and moco. Suzuki swift and Mazada micro

Edit: and Honda fit, Misitsubishi Colt.

I'd say theres a even mix of people who drive the xB....

I've run into 5 people with xBs so far and they have all been over 30. Just wave and say hey...can't hurt to be friendly.

UnFocused

Look at new Civic owners- They are all "old" Same thing with Focus too.....

Damn, I'm almost 40. I must be so old, I'm a stale fart.

Hey, just because I'm almost 40 doesn't mean nothing. For instance, I haven't worn pants in over 3 years...

Why? 'Cause I always wear shorts. I have over 35 pairs of Chucks. I don't own a suit. I have no ties. I wear T-Shirts every day.

I dunno. I just think the xB is a cool car, that is not normal. Which is the way I like it.

Can't we old farts like cool cars?

peestandingup

ha ha. Hey, we are all getting older. I think I would still think the xB is cool when im over 40. Age aient got nuttin to do with it. Either your cool or not Period.

My wife and I are both 46! A good value is a good value. We added a whole list of goodies, and like the fact that we can take a couple of friends along and not be all cramped.

The xB is the coolest station wagon to hit the road in decades. Not since the 1957 Chevy Nomad has there been a wagon with this much style and potential.

Enjoy!

I saw a 60 year old lady driving around in a TCM round here and I was like WTf.... Yea.. .still get questions bout the car though :D :D

Kimber

I agree that the xB is just a cool, unique car...something different. I have had more fun in this car than any other car I've ever owned and I'm 40+. I have a smile on my face every time I jump in it and take off...age has nothing to do with it...the person behind the wheel does. Male, female, young, old...Let's all enjoy! Kimber

bdonscion

I know what you mean. I sold one to an 80+ Year old couple 2 weeks ago. They came in looking at something else and fell in love with the xB!

i've seen more senior citizens driving scions recently then anything, mostly xBs. i think its great. i'll try to wave at them if they are paying attention but usually they're not, but if they do see me wave or say hi, they usually give me weird looks. i guess im just a punk kid to them. :twisted:

sorry, i couldnt help but post this, its perfect for the topic.

hotbox05

yeah i'm kinda dissapointed i mean it's totally cool but.... it's meant for younger buyers and even at scion meets n such it's predominantly 30+ just sucks cuz its harder to relate . and yeah since i have exhaust whenever i do see older folk in a scion they look at me like i just took a huge dose of crack. whatever i'll live they did the same thing with my supra and man oh man did they do it when i had my bimmer they hated seeing a tuned bmw i'll tell ya what

Old_Punk

Don't you know it's a conspiracy by us old farts to spoil your fun?

hotbox05

who's being insecure. more than anything i suppose it is just weird

Kool_B

So who's old, I'm 53 and yes ... surprize I own a Polar White xB, I know people that are half my age and act as if they are twice my age, I belong to a Club and associate with many younger people all of the time. I guess the only difference is my Mommy don't buy my toys, My B is getting pretty well fixed up and it is looking pretty good but still have a lot of mods to do. Gee I hope I don't die of old age before it's done.

hotbox05

id hate me and people like me if they all got their cars from their mommies. i pay all my self unfortunetly but hell yeah it feels good workin my ___ off for a car. . no dsirespect to older scionetics but it's just odd is all

Besides, I read that turning 55 is the new turning 30. "Young" and "old" will get different meanings as time passes.

For a person born today, the life expectancy is 120. So if you're considered "old" at 60 and you don't die for another 60 years, what else do you have to look forward to? Except a whole lot more years of retirement bliss!
