Im sure this is complety different for people in major cities or cali, but hear where i live it seems like alot of people have never seen one of these things, they act like its a new car, anyone else experience this?

just recently i had something similar happen at a Chevron in Shelton. some le-douche with his big F450 super duty getting ready to fill up sayin "hey it's one of them refrigerators." i replied "nah, it's a car now, fresh out of food." he replied "fresh out of gas too." i replied "actually i've got about a quarter tank so i'm alright still." he replied "pfft you aint gettin far on that." i replied "ya? and how much you got in there before you started fillin up?" he replied "about a quarter tank" i replied "and thay'll get you?" he replied "olympia maybe." i replied "i could probably hit north seattle on this...
...". a little time goes by after he spends about $150 on filling his tank and i've spent about 40 on mine. he started b!tching about it and thats when i said "looks like you should have gotten a refrigerator...". it seemed fitting, it was an F450 that was being used for daily in town driving, didn't have a speck of dirt anywhere on it.needless to say he got a bit irritated... so i pulled a "WELL! LOOK AT THE TIME! nice chattin with ya, i gotta go. "

I heard the best one the other day, from a guy who owns an FJ, and admitted that, just like me, he's sick of the "bubble cars" that are being made now, and that he wanted something different.
To me, this isn't an insult, just funnier than hell.
"It looks like a minivan for people with Dwarfism!"
I couldn't stop laughing.

It's amazing how intrigued people are with our boxes! It's usually a love or hate reaction...
Not long after I got mine I busted a lady I work with walkin through our parking lot with some other co-workers goin on and on about how ugly it was and why in the world would anyone ever drive something so hideous.... then as she passed it I hit the remote lock, walked passed her, got in and drove off... you shoulda seen the look on her face!!! HILARIOUS!
She's since rode in it and has changed her tune
that or she's still embarrassed LOL!

oh and apparently me saying "little d!ck" when a huge truck comes by me, i my self am apparently over-compensating with having an xB... seems weird to me how that would be considered over-compensation... when it's nothing compared to some ford F450 lifted 50 feet in the air with smoke stacks and has to ride people's a$$ on the freeway every day cause they think they're cool by daily driving something that gets 5 miles to the gallon

I personnally have fun when they drive by me putting my fingers in a wide open pinch and then moving them closer together (symbolizing smaller) as they drive by-seems like a fun game to me.

lol my buddy holds his index finger and thumb close together with the intention of getting the thought of "little d!ck" and he rolls down my window and hangs out the side with the biggest amount of effort possible to get the comment across to them lol and i let him do it... knowing that if i ____ them off, all i have to do is take turns harder then them... they might have a huge truck, but they'll tip before i do .

Similar concept was used for an anti-speeding campaign in Australia...

We have both xBs and an FJ.
Not a day goes by that I don't get a thumbs up by a passing car - usually driven by someone in my generation who grew up in the 60s with the Beatles music and Yellow Submarine. It gives them a smile and a good flashback I suppose. (It's really amazing if you look at the early posts in this thread, most comments were negative - now they're mostly positive comments received about our little boxes.)

^I like the yellow submarine.....the most recent insult I got was when I was talking to a SUV owner and bragging about 32 MPG snitches and he stated; "but you loose it all if the wind blows because of aerodynamics."
