Was sitting with windows down in the Payless parking lot waiting for my girlfriend to get off work when this older lady from the TGF next door starts walking around the back of my car and around the back wheels, and I'm like wtf is this lady doing...

Then she walks up to my window and is like, "Omg is this the new Toyota Scion?" and then was like, "I've been reading about this all over the Net!"

Just talked to her about gas mileage, interior options, colors, etc. because she was looking to get one for her daughter because the lady drove an Accord and wanted her daughter to have something smaller. Dunno why. I thought most parents want their daughters in big SUVs and whatnot.

I got the inevitable "is it powerful?" and she asked if it was a V6 and how she loved Toyota cars because of their reliability. Tried to explain how it's not really made for speed, how it's not a V6 but a flat-4, and that the engine is a Subaru not a Toyota...but idk how much of it she understood lol.

Cool part was that this really nice BMW was driving through the parking lot during part of our conversation, but she didn't even glance at it, but kept telling me how nice the car looks.

But the lady showed the car to her daughter and the daughter was like, "Yeah it looks nice...but I think I prefer your Accord." Just thought, there is no hope.
