Word Of Mouth


danah boyd: I decided to go with a Scion xD because it was the right combination of small, cheap, quirky, practical, and dependable. I feel a little guilty because it’s painfully clear that Scion is targeted directly at people like me and I hate ending up fitting into a stereotype, but, well... it is nice to have an iPod jack built in standard and have a design aesthetic meant for hipster 20-30somethings.

danah deserves a commission.  No, I’m clearly not a hipster 20-30something, but there seems to be a transitive property in effect as teenage girls tend to be 20-30something wannabies.  In addition to the aspects that danah mentioned, gas mileage is not too bad.  I also feel that — for this demographic at least — the ability to control an iPod from the steering wheel is an vital safety feature.  We also went for the electronic stability control.

Anybody who happens to be by Fred Anderson Toyota should ask for Phil.
