My co-worker just picked up a Scion xB as his grocery getter. I was tempted to buy one too, b/c the car appears so roomy.

It's actually quite spartan. The dash is molded plastic, gauges simple to read, wide seats, tall roof, plenty of cargo space.

Jessie is one of Michael Wesch's anthropology students - and this is her first attempt at a VLOG on YouTube. It's interesting to watch, for the awkward self-consciousness of talking to an unknown audience for the first time.

She compensates for the embarrassing clips, by then editing the video to add text commentary. Thereby revealing her awkwardness, and at the same time acknowledging that she KNOWS she is awkward, and so representing that she is more sophisticated than she appears.
