Oh so you're a sucker?

I've seen about 25 boxes around here in central FL.
I generally flash the lights or wave.
I'd say about 2/3rds of them have responded.
The guys who drive them for Taylor Pharmacy are pretty friendly ;)
Some peeps don't respond at all but, that's life!
I ride a motorcycle too and most riders acknowledge each other. A lot of Harley and BMW riders used to be un-sociable except with like kind, but most now are real friendly.
Prolly a similar dynamic ;)

i have owned 3 vehicles that have had cult-like status.an old cj7,all jeepers wave to each other. a 64 vw convertible and a 77 vette. all old dubs and ALL vettes wave to each other. it just makes you feel like you're part of a following. sort of. and its just plain fun.

A sucker? No i'm just a guy who bought a car he likes. I'm not insecure enough to need validation each time I drive the damn thing.

bB2NER

You are confusing validation with PRIDE my friend. Just admit you aren't a real car person. No biggie

bB2NER

I'm with you. It's basically the same while owning a old Bug, Jeep TJ, a Mercedes 450 SL and several motorcycles. It's just common courtesy to wave at like vehicles. It's an unspoken club thing.

I have to disagree. I see a lot of younger people driving xBs. I for one don't think the xB is dumb and square. I wouldn't be driving one if I thought that. And a lot of people I know love the xB. They always say your car is cool or dope. Haha.

I try to wave at all at them even if they're all dirty... Most around here are just soooo dirty I can't stand it. The business people are pretty cool... Other than that... It's all eh.

Zombietime

I'm proud of my car but i'm not obsessed with the scene. It's cool if others are but that shouldn't make me a bad guy. I wave back if people wave at me but I don't usually go out of the way to get noticed.

i still wave at all scions. but mostly the tC crowd (down here mostly) are all girls under 25. and usually wont care to look at a modded scion.

the xB crowd down here, nobody will wave ever. i toot my horn when i see a xB with wheels or anything like that. i usually get a nervous wave.

lol, my dad works at toyota and i know for a fact that they target the youger people, but the majority are sold to older folks. I guess im the only kid who wanted an xB for his 1st car

just wave and smile if they dont then they dont. life moves on. We all love our cars no matter how slow they are. thats why I started my HFD crew. All our cars have under 120hp to the wheel and yet theres something about them that we love.

ya out here i dont get a lot of love from my fellow xB drivers but i did install a PA so i do yell hello to them and now i will start to let my elder snow birds know that the 3rd lane is not to be mistaken for the first lane, all done with a simple PA. works well to.

As far as aged drivers around here I see everything except the mid 20 somethings. I have sen one guy with a cool "sun's up tanning xb" and he was cool. I was cruizing next to couple of about 40 on the highway one day and they looked over-we locked eyes-it was all scion love (actually they were cool, smily and friendly).

I saw a woman yesterday in Thundercloud grey one with hawaiian seat covers-she was like 65 or better. I see a lot of the 30 somethings that just drive it around and treat it like it was some mid 90's accord-trash in the back seat, pile of papers-whatever on the passenger seat or floor.

Fandango (maybe it's Jobdabgo) here has 3 xbs that are graphiced really cool and they are all running cool wheels and at least one is pretty lowered-never seen anybody driving them but the XB's are cool.

Kids seem to like xbs, and a few of the teachers at my dughters school like it but the parents that drive the ridiculous sized SUVs give me looks like my car is just not big enough for their needs (yeah, like hauling one kid around to the local beauty salon and coffee shop takes 4 wheel drive and 20's)

doorknob24

I used to have the only box at my school, now I have one of 15. The firedog people from circuit city will look the other way when they see other xB's, but there are alot of white delivery xB's, so they think i'm one of them and wave. (I drive a white 06 box)

I'm not one to wave or initiate contact, but if someone else notices I'll give a little wave.

I do get attention from the kids at the middle school bus stop, though.

emximer

You're not the only one man, this xB is my 2nd car, even though I'm only 17, but the xB was basically my dream car and I'm glad I found one cheap enough and had a father who could do all the work himself.

mikee1680

i dunno about the whole waving thing. kindo ___. i just nod and wassup

Murbyrne

yea, its the same situation with me.

stifflip

Well I hope you make out great, cuz I'm one of the old pharts that bought an xB (two, actually) and they're chick magnets. I get more looks and comments from girls your age (and in their 20's) than any other car I've owned. Just wish I was 16 and single instead of 63 and married.

bBlover

nope you arent. I got my xB on my 16th birthday and it was what i wanted.
