So we're all fans of our guitars, but how hardcore is this? :D Think that'll grab some attention? I knew about the EB Scions and thought they looked good, but I never considered a Scion until I was looking around at Toyota and took one for a test drive. 35 mpg, very comfortable and roomy seating and a 5 speed were great features. But the nice flat sides for ad space sold me on it since I knew I wanted to do something like this. I think it turned out pretty good and was a reasonable deal for the printing and application (a full wrap was too much for me). I'm just proud to have such a giant picture of my 7-string now. :)

Those and the Honda element seem to be the latest IT car...though the Toyota FJ cruiser is also a comer.

I think they make for great advertising. Very unique vehicles. I read a story about a small business owned buy a woman. She bought a Hummer and did the same thing. Said it paid for itself in like 2 months.

It's a lower-line Toyota target-marketed to young kids primarily, 18-21 i'd bet.

This is pretty accurate. They did target it towards young folks, but as it turns out, more people in the 30 to 50 range are buying them. They are inexpensive, easy to get in and out of (big square doors) and have good gas mileage. So they missed their demographic, but still sell them just fine. And since they were voted one of the ugliest cars in the USA, they get attention and turn heads. :)

you didnt need BPs permission to put that on your wagon?..:p

Heh heh, I actually did run it by Derek first, just in case. :) I'll probably get it for using my sparkle instead of a nice quilted top. :D Ah, but the Autumn Redrise is the attention grabber!

Yeah, my dad bought an xB a while ago, for those reasons. Great little car, I was really astonished by how much interior room it has. I'd definitely consider buying one, but I'm a cheap bastard that hates car payments :)
