these stories are great and all (rest assured i have plenty myself), but what i don't like is having to pay more attention to other drivers to avoid getting my box slammed into. Everyone seems to stop whatever they are doing to look and that includes driving. i have owned my HL since April, and i have come close to getting run over many, many times. you know how it goes, when people turn their heads to look to the side while driving, they inadvertantly start veering in that same direction. I wish the horn had a little more gusto.

i love my box, but i have almost gotten neurotic about keeping lots of distance between me and other drivers. i just don't want to wind up like the others who have posted pictures of their box after getting creamed. How many HL's have we lost already (at least the ones who post on the board), 4? 5?

the attention is great, but rubber necking is dangerous.

Horn is a quick cheap easy mod. Any neighborhood auto parts store carries a bunch of different types. I swapped my road runner horn out the first week with a "average" sounding horn. Then this past weekend I was at the Dream Cruise here in Detroit and the Chevy "New Revolution" semi was driving by with an air horn you could hear for a mile. Needless to say, the all powerful air horn is on order. Can't wait to use that on someone!

I find alot of people think it's a six cylinder when I'm showing them the car.

My friend's neighbor walked over and she asked if the batteries go up front.

I really wanted to say, "Yeah", but told the truth.

I never just get a few questions, I don't know what planet you guys are on. I get crowds, i came out from grocery shopping one day after I had just gotten the rims on it and I had 18 people standing there and pointing. I just started carrying business cards from the local dealerships along with brochures. I just hand them out and leave.

I'll answer simple stuff such as:

"do you like it?" "yes"

"does it get good gas mileage?" "not the way I drive it"

"what is it" "it's a scion, it's from toyota, the lexus is toyotas high end, scion is the entry level"

anything more difficult than that or more ignorant than that gets the business card and brochure and i leave.

So I was racking my brain thinking of something worth using my first post to say, and it was delivered to me tonight.

Middle Aged Guy in 7-11 parking lot: "What the hell kinda car is that?"
Me: "It's a Scion xB."
MAG: "Who's it by?"
Me: "Toyota."
MAG: "It looks like some kind of flying car or something."

I was pretty disappointed he didn't ask me what it runs on, I've been dying to tell someone that it has a flux capacitor.

My father since day one said it reminds him of the old milk trucks when he was a kid, after doing an image search on milk trucks I guess hes not wrong.

I have a Mercedes Benz hood ornament and trunk star on my debadged xB. last night was a beautiful night. Everyone was driving with windows open. I'm in the right lane heading south on Broad St., Philadelphia, and this white car in the left lane is matching my speed. We get to a stop light that turns green. I have a car stopped in front of me so I can't go yet. The white car with two bros. in it doesn't go either, but there's no one infront of them. I say to my passenger: "I wonder why thy're stopping for a green light.
The next block they slow down and pull behind me. Then they pull up next to me and slightly ahead; then right next to me. They ask me what kind of car it is. I tell them it's a Scion xB. They ask me if Mercedes makes it, because their friend got one, but they didn't know it was a Benz.
I told them that I was just having fun. I said: "This is my $15,000 Benz."
They liked this and said it was a cool idea. They were going to tell their friend he should do this.
About this time the people trapped behind us as we were driving and having a conversation started honking.
That was the first time I've had a pleasant conversation with another driver while moving down Broad St.

BTW - Is the "Got Milk" thing just here in CA or is it elseware too?

I had this happen to me too. I told the guy that I haven't pumped gas in so long that I wanted to remember what it felt like. He looked at me funny then got back into his 18 wheeler and drove off. The guy next to me was cracking up.
