people are giving me wierd looks and thumbs up....
so i just got my black xb delivered on friday night.
i go to the chevron to put gas in it like 30 mins after i get it off the transporter.
i'm at the pump just about to get outta my car, and this huge suv like slows down next to me. the driver full on stops, circles around me, circles around a SECOND time, so i make eye contact with her and give her a thumbs up. she laughs and gives me thumbs up back and says..... THAT IS COOOOOOOOL! and drives off.
i was stoked.
what is the funniest look or comment you've gotten on your xb??

best look
After having my Xb for 2 days I went to go pick up some dinner for my bro and moms. As I make my left onto a main drag this kid looks at my car all confused and pulls up next to me just stareing at me and as he passes me in the right lane sticks his whole head out the window looking back in amazement. My brother who bought a matrix and now thinks he should have gone with a scion..hahahah (didn't like the XB called it a rolling toaster. but now its grown on him, his bad) Anyways I digrese my brother is like dude look his whole head is out the window. We both laughed at the experience it was great fun. To this day I still get people poping questions on what it is and who makes it. At this point I htink I should just go into sales at my local dealership. I got people hooked.

The question I always get is "Is that one of those new alternate fuel vehicles?"; and on occasion I get the question "Is that a new Mini?"
People are hilarious, but I always take a little time to answer questions and set them straight.

Its really funny when people are always asking what kind of car we drive. I always have people wanting to look at the my xB. Especially since its debadged!
The only thing I get tired of is people asking if its a hybird. I still get that when I drive the Matrix!

It just goes on and on and on....
I thot i was tired of it after the first month, but noooo...
People cant get enough of the lil box on wheels
- There is a guy who lives in my complex, who drops by every time he sees me out workin on the xB
- At m@'s(SciFixB) place. his next-door neighbor comes by for a look, stays for an hour.
- Random people at my church make comments
- My next door neighbor finally notices today (as if she hasnt seen the car for the last 6 months) "Wow, did you just get a NEW car?"
... well it is, if by NEW you mean, i just lowered it on SPY's - 2" lowering springs...
BTW, anyone who doesnt have their's lowered is soooo missing out. Im sorry i never realized it. $200 can make such a BIG difference. my props go out to Komplex for giving me the hook up, through Joseph

My other fav. story is this....I went on a road trip to Reno, NV, and on my way into town, i stopped at a stoplight right in front of the toyota dealer. There was 1 salesman outside, he saw my car and his eyes about popped outta his head. Then he runs inside, and then comes back out with about 7 salesman!...they ran out in the middle of the street to checkout my ride...they were all givin me the thumbs up etc. then i took off!...LOL they are toyota saleman and never saw a scion in real life...we're so lucky....WESTSIIEEDE

Dammeh!! I thought they were looking at me!!??
Oh yeah! I had a whole family sit in mine. The dad freaked out about how much room there is and then I turned on the floorboard lights, matched the cupholder & stereo color and his daughters freaked out boy band concert style.
I have to admit, everyday when I walk out to my car...I just smile.

I bought my polar white exactly 1 week ago today..
Every day i get at least 2 people asking me about my ride or waving. Man its so cool belonging to this group..
Its different when i had my 95 civic. Other civics just stare u down and rev in jealousy.
But this Scion peeps are hella cool I get other Scioners waving at me and i actually 2 people introduced themselves to me...
I am getting my wheels in about 2 weeks i cant decide which though.
PEACE!
