Common Experiences

Since the were awarded their Cubes everyone has been sharing their experiences on twitter, facebook and often times face to face.

I've noticed some trends:

  1. People NOTICE the Cube.  So many winners have commented at the stares they get on the street and how passers by will stop to look at their car.
  2. Winners love to talk about their Cube.  Winners actually do engage with the passers by. I don't think this has anything to do with feeling obligated.  I think it has everything to do with the fact that the Cube is a really fun car and we want to talk about it.
  3. Police have stopped winners to talk about their car.  Its happend to more than a few winners.
  4. Many winners now have scarred Cubes.  Whether its a chip in the windsheild or a scrape from sources unknown or (sadly) vandals in the night, Cubes are not immune to the wear and tear of being out in the wild.  Scars are bound to happen however much we'd like to hope they would stay perfect forever.

Old ride.. new ride

I took a couple pics of what used to be my old ride, my first ride. A 1980 honda 50cc mini-motorcycle.. obviously not street legal.. but I had lots of fun when I was six.. Now that I'm quite a few years older, the contrast in vehicles has also drastically matured. I've been getting a lot of funny looks. It's also not a strange occurance for me to walk out of a place, and find that there is a group of people crowded around the car. They must all be really self-concious, trying to get glimpses of themselves in the shiny doors and windows, or on the contrary, and more probable, they are captivated by the cubes unique aura.  Either or, i'm sure they could not be as thankful and gracious for the cube as I, it is serving me well, on my quest to bring hope for this community I call home.
