not so much an insult...
some old guy (60+yrs or so) came up and asked how you say the name of the car, I told him, and he said "oh, I thought it was pronounced Skone, you know, the pastry you eat w/ coffee..."
dumbass.
dumbass.

OHH! My favorite is someone at my mom's work asked me "does that box turn very well around corners"
ARGH!!

"Yo, thas cool yo, but you shoulda got the sports car man, why didn't you get that?"
ME: "I didn't get that because I wasn't interested in a two door Camry clone, I wanted a small wagon for practicality and carrying passengers."
It amazes me that some people are just beginning to notice Scion now because of the plain vanillla tC and they think it's so hot. I guess I just can't see the difference between it and the 9 or 10 other sport compacts its competing with. tC, Ion, Cavalier..... same difference 'cept the tC will be reliable.

Honestly, I'm not sure that there are any other 2 cars that look more similar than the Astro Van and the xB.
Even Vibe and Matrix look more dissimilar and those are both made of the same platform.
(sorry to take this off topic)
Back to the name calling..
although I don't have a lunch box, school bus, ice cream truck, shoe box,
a few of my buddies have been busting my chops saying I drive a Cry-on.

My boss is Korean. He speaks only a little English, and when i showed him my Xb for the 1st time he said,
"Ohhh, Short Bus!"
I liked it so much I tried to get it on my Tag, but it was already taken so I put TOASTR instead.

People ask what company it is made buy? I tell them Scion. They say saturn ion.
WTF, when did I say saturn?
Otherwise people always want to look inside it. Most people seem to like it. My mom said she is going to buy one for herself.
