[William Truitt]

I have one, a Scion Xb, which I affectionately call Stimpy, the Geek Box.
Lots  of head and leg room, and with the back seats folded down, plenty of
room for tools and a grand action.  Good in snow in these New Hampshire
winters, it's front wheel drive  and I just use an all season radial (Real
Men don't use snow tires..)

 

Decent on gas, but I not sure what to think when an 18 year old boy walks up
to me and says, "Cool car!"

 

Hey, I think I am arty too, so where does that leave me?

List,

 

I'm in the market for a new vehicle.   My daughter is 21 and I'm giving her
the Toyota Corolla...which, as you can imagine, wasn't the greatest tuner
vehicle.  Anyway, I'm reading the Cars section in the Sunday Chronicle (San
Francisco) and I'm reading a "Motor Matters" article about boxy vehicles
like Nissan Cube, Scion & Kia.   At the end of the article I read:

 

"...these differences aside, while driving these small cars I took notice
that the art and design crowd embraces the Cube, the Tuner crowd gravitates
to the Scion...etc."

 

Well, I was amazed and a bit perplexed...really?   Do we Tuners have a thing
for the Scion?
