ok lets see i got a vinal wrap so the first thing MY wife said was that looks like a crayon box that a kid took the crayons out of the box colored on it and put wheels on it.

ive heard a lunch box with out the handle

ive heard open up the top and u could pull a pair of sneakers out

my favorite is if i cant find a parking spot at the mall i could fold it up and put it in my pocket

Please, please, please keep the insults coming! I'm enjoying this thread almost as much as the Christening thread!

My favorite is when I'm insulted by tC owners! It happens on this forum a lot. Despite the fact that if the box were never a success, the tC wouldn't exist...

Anyhoo... I was asked by a fat balding geezer in an F250 "So you just pull it back and let it go, or is it remote controlled?"

Default What is it?

I had an elderly couple stop and look at my Xb as I exited the 7-11. They asked how to say SCION and who made it. I stated that my name was Johnny Scion and this was the first prototype of a new car that I had designed. They looked puzzled and I asked their comments about the design .... and they actually started telling me.....

I just joined the forum and already love this site and the box. I've not got any insults yet, but I used to hate boxes. I can't say I ever gave any insults, never would anyway. As far as receiving them, I really like the last post. I might say something to that effect. But I don't expect to receive insults when they look inside.

Edit:
This is the funniest thread I've ever seen.
Now that I think about it, I got one insult from some lady. She walked by when me and my sister were sitting parked. She looked inside at us and just glared (really dirty look as my sister says). She looked away, took a double take while glaring still, and walked off. I just laughed.
I can't wait to get comments on me fitting inside, being 6'5". I often get to drive an MR2 Spyder which is VERY close to being too small, but weight almost exactly the same as the xB with only 2 seats (it goes considerably faster though).

Edit 2:
If anyone in an H2 insults you, the proper response is "At least my box doesn't pretend to go offroad."
Hmm, I think I'll go to Jack in the Box now, maybe score some free food.

The short yellow bus (see xB 2.0)? Or just the regular sized bus, the one for the kids who are too emotionally disturbed to get to school on their own? The comments from the F250 losers are great, i like hwo their huge, nasty raised truck gets 13 mpg. Then they go back to their house which is groomed once a year, and still has their christmas lights on.

i usually hear -

"can i tip it over?"
"wft is that?"

and of course people pointing and laughing.

I always get "why aren't you driving your REAL car" (referring to my turbo 240sx), then i gotta explain how much i save on gas and how much room it has (boy does that get old explaining the same ol' thing over and over to people).

I am going to try to get an RS 2.0, and have shown pictures of it to my friends. I used to be a bus driver, and they all call it a short bus. I think I will get a magnetic stop sign made for the driver's door.

Oh, just a note. Not all rednecks dislike xBs, for I am one. And as far as watching the tv or reading, our Scion dealership is the trailer that used to be the office for used Toyota dealership. No sign, no advertising. Remember that Scion hates rednecks, as we couldn't even buy one until August of '04. No Hot Lava xBs for us. So yes, we drive old cars and trucks, but not always by choice.

my friends call my polar white "refrigerator on wheels", "oven on the road", my co-worker told me i should put two big black stripes on top so it will look like a toaster.
Hmmmm one more thing, somebody asked me at the shopping mall parking lot"first time i saw a mini cooper van"... hahahaha
