Default The Scion Cult (Sort Of)..

Muhahaha...jk...anyways, I was on my way to class this morning at around 9:00 a.m. of the 60 West...when I spotted 2 other xB's cruising...I got over and beeped at both of them and they beeped back...we continue down the freeway following each other and we are getting so many looks from other peeps.
I figured that this would only go on for a few miles or so...wrong...we had our little Scion Cult following each other for a good 20 miles..it was so sweet...I led the pack most of the way, and the funny thing was that we all got off at the same off ramp...gave a final honk...and then we all went different ways.

I love my Box so much, and I would not trade it for anything...We had so many people looking at us that one guy almost rear ended the guy in front of him...this is why Scion is da sheet...this is why this Box kicks ___...

BTW, who were the other two peeps? There was a Thunder Cloud Metallic, a Polar White, and of course my very own Blue Onyx Pearl...

Anyone else had a random experience like this? Not something planned, but random...It was so much fun to just randomly cruise with peeps you don't even know...mind you this little adventure cost me to miss my Advocacy and Argumentation class, but I would venture to say that it was damn well worth it.
And I would do it all over again if I had to.

It wasn't spontaneous, but we had 9 or 10 Scions rolling on Sunday. Talk about turning some heads:

Maybe I'm being pessimistic...but it's becoming more like a xB Nation (a la Civic Nation)...

A couple months ago, as i got on the 60 fwy, i saw another xB rolling by so i sped up after it. as i came up on it, coming down the next on ramp, another xB merges on the fwy.
It would've been cool to cruise together a bit but the last one was goin slow as hell.

and a couple weeks back, I spotted Steve (bbist) in my rear view on the fwy too. he passed me up and we rolled for like a couple miles.

This type of spontaneous Scion run happened to me last Thursday on my way home from work. Going from W. Los Angeles to the valley I saw 2 other xBs. The three of us were cruising together in traffice for a good 10 -15 minutes.. before the leading xB (Polar White) looked like she kinda freaked out that there were 2 of us following her down the 405. She started speeding up and took off.

If she is here on the forum.. sorry.. didn't mean to scare ya. :oops: We just happened to be going down the same freeway together. :D

That's funny, I had a similar experience the other day. Was heading out to Walnut Creek and saw a Thundercloud xB as I was nearing the Caldecott Tunnel. I didn't speed to catch up or anything but since I was there and traffic was rolling, I just dropped in behind her and followed. I enjoy it cuz I get to watch a Box rolling, as opposed to rolling in my Box and plus it probably makes people go WTF twice... Hope I didn't freak her out...

If anyone on here has a Thundercloud with a sticker on the back that said "California" and has a Tweety bird sticker and was getting followed by a Camo Box, that was me.

Default obviously not from this board

two days ago I ran across another black xB, while cutting through Monterey Park, and I think I spooked him, he took off with the quickness, but when I caught up to him, I gave him a thumbs up, and rolled away...
