that's ironic. . . most of the people on here that I've seen, and in fact most owners, are over 20, work, and have paid for the cars themselves. . . funny

The Mercedes stars improve the ride remarkably!
I have a Mercedes Benz hood ornament and trunk star on my debadged xB. A couple of weeks ago on 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 in front of them. I say to my passenger: "I wonder why they'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.

I live in Memphis (moved here, not raised here), one of the most backward and undereducated cities in the country---------so one day I'm just out for an evening drive down the main drag (poplar ave) and here I am sitting at a stoplight listening to a mix by Donald Glaude, when I hear.........
"Yo"
I turn off the radio so I can hear him, "What's up?"
"Hey man, Is that one of thos Skee-kons things?"
"Na man, Its a Mazda"
(Insert stupid befuddled look here) "oh yeah, thats right, cool man"
keep in mind I was driving my MP5 which looks nothing like any of the scions
as you can see the resemblance is just not there[/img]

i even had people curse me out and say my car is the ugliest thing on earth in front of my face with my friends around. that sort of got me but then i looked @ the car she was driving and i wasn't impressed either. early 90's Golf.
i've been asked if it was a nissan, a skee-on, a small element, a hybrid, "that thing must get horrible gas mileage" , then i tell them what it cost with the options i got in it and where to get them and they shut up. but i don't think that the people i talked too were the least bit intristed in buying a square toyota. it was either this or stick with nothing so i wen't with a trend setter scion corp. xB model in Black Cherry Pearl with a five speed manual gear box
