In a class, a car park, a piece of wasteland, in fact anywhere that it can be on its own is fine by us.

Butt ugly Scion boxes that never get past their virgin brown stage are unpleasant enough as it is. But then, along comes a custom color job guaranteed to achieve a truly stomach-wrenching heave-ho effect from two miles.

Over at the Scion forums there is a hot debate raging over gas mileage - 30mpg is supposedly one of many appealing aspects of Xb box ownership, and some just aren't getting anywhere close. Driving too fast, maybe?

We are beginning to worry now because it seems like real fanatics of the Scion Xb were as repulsed or amazed as we were by the boxy gimpy Toyota wannabe.

I loved the ax and wondered who the hell would ever buy that (Xb) box and look 3 years I finally had the money and now I'm driving that ugly box that no one would ever drive lol

There are a couple of perennial too good to be true deals doing the rounds on the internet: free iPods and free cars. There are plenty of lesser prizes to be had too, plus lots of bricks-and-mortar opportunities for a dealio.

Which bloke doesn't enjoy ogling a good sports car like Lambourghini or ferrari, if only to see how seriously the driver takes themself?
