View Full Version : Scion United: Scion event May 16-17, 2008
Scion_Promos 04-08-2008, 05:07 PM Hello everyone,
If you haven't already heard, Scion is holding an event titled Scion United on May 16-17 at a secret Nevada desert location. This is a complimentary event for you and a guest if chosen. Trust me, this will be an event not to miss..
For more info and/or to sign up, visit: http://www.scion.com/scionunited/
If you're interested, you'll want to sign up asap as we're already sifting through all the entries.
I'm posting this in the off-topic forum because the event is open to all regions, but please only sign up if you can seriously make it out to Nevada for the event.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
Dennis
badbasic 04-08-2008, 10:25 PM i was just about to send mine last week until i read the rules. anybody associated w/ Toyota is not allowed to enter. Even tho Toyota and my dealership have nothing to do with my car. those r the rules. maybe i should quit my job long enuff to go.
FreedomOne 04-09-2008, 12:14 AM I wish I had the cash to get out there.
AKgoalie7 04-09-2008, 01:04 AM :nails: I smell the UNVEILING of a new car :pray:
:tap:

FreedomOne 04-09-2008, 01:25 AM Hopefully!
spngbob 04-09-2008, 03:19 AM I was really freakin excited about this until I saw that you had to be 21.
I love that I can get a brand new car with no help or co signers and am not allowed to show it off.
____ty. :tap:
ih8civx 04-09-2008, 04:20 AM What if I already got an email from Danny Rocha after the owners contest?
ChelsDS 04-09-2008, 04:39 AM I'm trying to go :) This would be very fun if it was held in LV since I've never been there. Great excuse to go to LV :D
yellowxboy 04-09-2008, 04:46 AM wtf, i've posted in about 3 threads talking about the scion united event and now i can't find them. lol they keep being erased?
Scion_Promos 04-09-2008, 06:43 PM ihgcivix, what did the email from danny say? are you planning to attend?
yellow, maybe they just want it all posted in one thread? not sure..
nauticac 04-10-2008, 02:12 AM Scion is sooo sick right now. The opportunity for some of your cars to appear in a new ad campaign would be unreal.

Adorian 04-16-2008, 02:42 AM I just stumbled upon this today so Erik and I entered on a whim and ta-da we got an email :)
Man Kekai you are right 1200 miles... one way? eep.
toeveryhour 04-16-2008, 02:45 AM cool cool. a lot of people are traveling the distance for this, lol.
wildscion06 04-16-2008, 03:13 AM Yeah I got in too. I'm in Cincinnati so it's a hell of a haul.
yamaha16bw 04-16-2008, 03:36 AM Yea both my brother and I got the emails today. My brother is in Cincy and I'm in Detroit. We have to deside if its worth the trip. 2,014 mile from my apartment to Las Vegas. May be too far away.
Would of been nice to give the east coat people a shot at this. Maybe to 2 smaller events to give us a chance.
lvbitwiz 04-16-2008, 04:27 AM cool cool. a lot of people are traveling the distance for this, lol.
I think I'm traveling about 30 miles :rofl: but I don't care, it's gonna be great!
ih8civx 04-16-2008, 04:52 AM I will not be making it now... way too far to drive.
jwaj2002 04-16-2008, 04:59 AM got my e-mail, but I have no one to take with me so UV7 where ya wanna meet up? according to my calcs I'm lookin at 9 tanks of gas
robbiej 04-16-2008, 05:05 AM arkansas, you going to make it? that would be great, miami crew.
MissBenilda 04-16-2008, 05:49 AM I'M IN!!! IM GOING!! IM SOO HAPPY!!! AHH!!!
jwaj2002 04-16-2008, 05:53 AM I hope I'm going to go, I'll have to clear space on a CC for gas though, probably 200 for gas
jwaj2002 04-16-2008, 06:09 AM does the e-mail mean its deffinate that we are in, or do we have to get a phone call first?
MissBenilda 04-16-2008, 06:11 AM i think it's to rsvp/confirm and then they call u sometime...i think from what i read somewhere on there
robbiej 04-16-2008, 06:29 AM I got the call, said I would get something from Scion in the next week.
BNABox 04-16-2008, 06:54 AM Its going to be a blast!!!!!!!
ChelsDS 04-16-2008, 06:59 AM I would ne interesting to start a list on how many of each model are actually going to this. :)
Oh and I'm going as well!
katchkillah 04-16-2008, 07:41 AM so did anyone not on the continental US get invited? :(
ih8civx 04-16-2008, 07:57 AM Im assuming these are all of the 500 people that were picked to attend the event, but who are the other 24 people that got the original email? Was it just the Owners Contest winners? I only ask, because Im still interested in trying to get a hauler for us on the east coast with cars that shouldnt drive that far on one trip.
katchkillah 04-16-2008, 08:09 AM if it was owners contest winners, haven't heard if ron from maui got selected.
insaneintenti0n 04-16-2008, 11:02 AM I got invited... but I highly doubt I can make that trek from MD to Nevada.
alfundo 04-16-2008, 12:49 PM i got my email, unfortunately it looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short.
The registration closed on 04/16/2008 12:00 AM, Pacific Daylight Time
If selected, you will be contacted between April 3 and April 25, 2008.
boostHerWay 04-16-2008, 01:56 PM they havent gotten 500 cars yet so thats why thet are shooting out the emails for the people that entered and seeing who else enters, they are still selecting the top 22 or 25 whatever it is, i was picked for group 1 but turned down the offer, stupid i know but gas on my turbo will kill me on a 18 hour trip, im lucky to get a a full tank of gas with 2 hours if that lol and a whole week off work i cannot do with my company right now
alfundo 04-16-2008, 03:15 PM still, pretty crappy of em to tease me like that. send me an email saying that "I made the cut" then as soon as i saw it i replied (less then 9 hours) only to be told they cut it off at midnight. :(
oh well, the gas money is probably better off in my pocket anyway.
kkawana 04-16-2008, 03:33 PM that cut off doesnt sound right.... at the bottom of the email they sent you, it should of had a link username (email) and password for you to accept it....
i think they cut off taking "new entries" last night... or early this am..
insaneintenti0n 04-16-2008, 03:35 PM that cutoff was for the initial registration.... i think. though i haven't tried to RSVP, so i dunno for certain, this current one says you have till about April 21st.
yellowxboy 04-16-2008, 03:46 PM same here. i have until the 21st to rsvp. any SDG wanna come along with me? :D i got nobody to bring with me as of the moment.
alfundo 04-16-2008, 04:47 PM I entered my user name and password, then selecyed the "I wouldn't miss it" option only to find the following message...
The registration closed on 04/16/2008 12:00 AM, Pacific Daylight Time

MissBenilda 04-16-2008, 04:58 PM same here. i have until the 21st to rsvp. any SDG wanna come along with me? :D i got nobody to bring with me as of the moment.

alfundo 04-16-2008, 10:00 PM apparently there was a glitch that shut me out. i got an email from scion telling me to try again. all good now, see you there
jwaj2002 04-16-2008, 11:23 PM I'm gonna have to sell some stuff to get gas money, so even though I RSVPed I may not be able to go, and I'm goin alone, Cause I don't have anyone to take with me

robbiej 04-17-2008, 12:08 AM some people got phone calls, others got emails, my phone call asked if I was available the 14th to the 18th.
yellowxboy 04-17-2008, 01:36 AM phone call probably means that your car will be actually filmed. i just got an email thats all :(

yellowxboy 04-18-2008, 01:41 AM yeah gas is gonna be a pain in the a$$... especially if you're boosting :X

jay_jay_n 04-18-2008, 06:03 PM got it to work, i guess it was taking forever because of my large images, also i had to cut my mods list to like only 3 body mods haha.. wish the field would accept more data.
JDMJim 04-18-2008, 07:25 PM man, I;mmma little tired of everyone saying they can't go cuz of gas prices. shouldn't have signed on then, really. those that are boosted? turn back the fuel a little. I have terrible mileage and I'm not complaining. I'm going. you'll be fine. get in the car and drive!!!!!
robbiej 04-18-2008, 07:49 PM You tell'em Jim, lol. I understand the gas prices are high. I'm working extra shifts so that I don't put a strain on the checking account. Some people don't have that option, I'm glad I do.
mattross 04-18-2008, 09:07 PM I'm in! I'm in!
robbiej 04-18-2008, 10:24 PM great Matt, congrats.

GET YOUR SCION AN AGENT.
IT MIGHT BE FAMOUS.
Whether it’s stock or totally tricked out, Scion wants to make your car a star. Check out this website and sign up for the possibility to have your Scion featured in the next ad campaign. The event and shoot will take place on May 16 & May 17 at a secret desert location just outside of Las Vegas. A complimentary two night stay including hospitality will be provided at a resort hotel. It’ll be unreal. Hurry and sign up while there’s still room! If selected, you will be notified shortly with all the important information and details.
Basically it takes me to the sign up page from when you first signed up. Any thoughts on this??
Soulquarian 04-19-2008, 06:48 AM 2 boosted tC's from PrestigeRacing.net will be there., myself and Sliver07.
robbiej 04-19-2008, 06:50 AM Thats the email I got when I signed up originally, a month or so ago.
chapascion 04-20-2008, 03:27 PM This is going to kick @$$ :)! I have the count down going on at my desk at work. I know we cannot wait.
Matthews_Lewis_Racing6226 04-20-2008, 07:42 PM i hope i get accepted....how long does it take to get a hear back?
robbiej 04-20-2008, 07:48 PM everyone should be notified by the 25th, I think.
mattross 04-21-2008, 03:35 AM This is straight from the Terms and Conditions.
"If selected, Owners will be notified by phone and/or email between April 3 and April 25, 2008."
n2htwlz 04-21-2008, 05:58 PM If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
Dennis
Do you have a list that you could post up that would have the names of the people/cars picked for the event with the date/group to arrive? It might help with some of the confusion some people are trying to figure out.
Just a thought :P
toeveryhour 04-21-2008, 07:28 PM ^ A ton of people still need to shoot out their RSVPs though.
I'm sure they could through up a confirmed list though, it wouldn't be people's SL IDs though.
JonnyHomesick 04-21-2008, 07:30 PM I posted this a long time ago. But the mods deleted it...cause it was a "secret" then.
Whatever
you have to be 21+ which is weak
n2htwlz 04-21-2008, 07:40 PM ^ A ton of people still need to shoot out their RSVPs though.
I'm sure they could through up a confirmed list though, it wouldn't be people's SL IDs though.
I totaly agree... Maybe they could have a list of "Picked" and "RSVP'd" names to post up.
liz_08xB 04-21-2008, 08:01 PM Me and my 08 xB made the cut. Which is a shock seeing as it's completely stock and I've only had it since February.
I'm driving from Springfield, MO but am really excited. After reading about the Miami event in 06, I can't wait to see what goes down in NV.
mengsta 04-22-2008, 12:24 AM Lol yeah wth, you have to be 21.
Already got excepted on the 15th and now I'm just waiting on my package coming in the mail. Gonna be totally off the chain! Can't wait to see everyone! If you're going from the direction of I-44 or I-40 let me know and lets start a caravan. 8)
flipguy206 04-22-2008, 10:25 PM YEAH! My stock a$$ xB complete with chipped windshield made the cut! Now I just need to get time off from work :pray:
toeveryhour 04-22-2008, 10:29 PM i wonder when we will start getting things in the mail...
robbiej 04-22-2008, 10:31 PM would be nice if they had them out before the weekend, got a PM in asking this question.
JDMJim 04-23-2008, 01:13 AM YEAH! My stock a$$ xB complete with chipped windshield made the cut! Now I just need to get time off from work :pray:
better hope you don;t get turned away when you get there. the is a thing about the car being in acceptable condition at drop-off. looks like you have some work to do. :lalala:
flipguy206 04-23-2008, 03:54 AM YEAH! My stock a$$ xB complete with chipped windshield made the cut! Now I just need to get time off from work :pray:

robbiej 04-23-2008, 04:52 AM thats what he meant, I'm getting a scratch taken care of myself, lol.
kkawana 04-23-2008, 05:41 AM Has a chip in the windshield and door..... only 1 is getting fixed... and it aint glass...lol

robbiej 04-23-2008, 05:02 PM I hope the group one peeps are able to attend the shoot and hopefully, maybe get pics, and a DVD of the making of the commercial.

Cabana 04-23-2008, 10:42 PM Anyone have a clue of how to get a car wash there...or if we can go into Vegas Friday night?
robbiej 04-23-2008, 10:50 PM I'm getting in town a day early to get car cleaned up.

ChimChim 04-24-2008, 12:35 AM I'm taping up the front of my car for I have less bugs to clean when I arrive. I'll be cutting it close to arriving an the less time spent on getting the bugs off the better.
mattross 04-24-2008, 01:22 AM From the FAQ's

Scion_Promos 04-24-2008, 07:34 AM If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
Dennis
Do you have a list that you could post up that would have the names of the people/cars picked for the event with the date/group to arrive? It might help with some of the confusion some people are trying to figure out.
Just a thought :P
I will look into this..
JOEinSD 04-24-2008, 08:07 AM can i still sign up for this? or is it too late?
ChelsDS 04-24-2008, 08:18 AM ^^ I would try anyways. I haven't heard anything on when they're going to close it again.
- -
I'm totally taping my car and probably other parts too haha. Put a foam padded trashbag on the front parts of the car to absorb any impacts hehe.
JOEinSD 04-24-2008, 08:20 AM foam padded trashbag? LOL. wth...
yeah, i guess i'll try to sign up.
i need to get my camera back from my gf so i can get pics though!

Scion_Promos 04-24-2008, 11:00 PM you didnt answer my question dennis..
can i still sign up for this? or is it too late?
yes you can.. registration is still open.
JDMJim 04-24-2008, 11:10 PM we should all try and stay around the same area.
Scion_Promos 04-24-2008, 11:20 PM we should all try and stay around the same area.
you mean during the event?
JDMJim 04-25-2008, 05:16 PM for those that get there early. better to hang out
zrocool 04-25-2008, 06:11 PM A Few People comming in for this event have expressed intrest in going to our thurs night meet on may 15th the day prior to the roll in for scion united... Anyone that is interested it will be at Wing Stop on the Corner of Tropicana and Decatur.. its about 2 miles west of the Strip. Very Easy to find... for those with navi. here is the info...

toeveryhour 04-25-2008, 07:07 PM soudns good, but i'll be car-less, lol.
liz_08xB 04-25-2008, 08:38 PM you didnt answer my question dennis..
can i still sign up for this? or is it too late?
yes you can.. registration is still open.
If registration is still open, does this mean that Scion hasn't reached the 500 total number for cars?
How many cars have been accepted/invited to the event?
I'm just curious.
robbiej 04-25-2008, 08:48 PM sounds good, but i'll be car-less, lol.
Ditto
DodgerGirl 04-25-2008, 08:56 PM I still wanna know who the lucky 25 people & how they were picked... anyone?
BNABox 04-25-2008, 09:59 PM Just pulled this off of another clubs forms.
1) Tried every way to convince them to to get Scion to help with the gas expense of getting there, and its just not going to happen. Even the top 22 are on their own getting there.
2) About signing off on ads on your Scion. If they do not pay you to endorse their product, and they drag their feet on signing a wavier. Pull it off. Don't let this be an issue to stop you from going.
3) About needing to be someplace, or expected to be at an event once you are there. This is not the case. Everyone will have their own room at one of two resorts. Scion would like everyone to make the main event Saturday, and the other planned out events they worked real hard to plan. But if you and your guest decide to watch a movie instead. Oh well. That's your choice.
4) Liability with your ride. Scion needs to CTA (cover their ___) If your travels going to the event encounter damage. Sorry. The chance we take every day going to the store, and work. Now if one of their professional drivers tries to drift your stock first generation B, and hits a wall. They will take care of that. BTY this won't happen.
Once we arrive, our driving is over until we leave. There will be no show to stress out about, so leave your display stuff at home. Scion will have transportation for us during the event.
Two requirements: One: You must be signed up, and be selected to attend in advance. Two: You must arrive in a Scion to get in the event. No exceptions.
The ads want to show our club pride. So Get your best vinyl in time for the shoot.
With all of this being said. I can not stress the magnitude of this event. The only reason they can't tell us everything that is planned, is because if this hits the main street media, and non Scion owners find out. It would be all bad with fans, crashers, who knows.
alfundo 04-25-2008, 10:31 PM drop off isn't until fri so you should have a car thurs night. i plan on hitxchhiking if i have to fri night to make the dropkick show at the hard rock. :D
MissBenilda 04-25-2008, 10:46 PM this will be fun. I can't wait to meet everyone :) *hugs*
Cabana 04-25-2008, 10:50 PM Will there be an easy way to get from the hotel to the strip?
alfundo 04-26-2008, 12:16 AM I guess we'll find out...but maybe if we ask dennis nicely he could swing us a shuttle.
/me begs....please please please
but even without the shuttle provided by Scion most resorts would have a shuttle I would think.
Scion_Promos 04-26-2008, 12:26 AM haha, i highly doubt there will be a shuttle provided by scion from the hotels to the strip.. just the hotels to the event..
Driver_Lost 04-26-2008, 05:21 AM highly doubt there will be a shuttle provided by scion from the hotels to the strip
:silly: Removes lucky rabbits foot from suitcase.
ChelsDS 04-26-2008, 06:26 AM Why was there no mention of 25 special cars being chosen? Its.. getting a bit strange with more and more details coming out from different places just to be pasted on to SL.
just4imz 04-26-2008, 03:13 PM Scion_promos I still cant rsvp maybe im the only person having this problem?
JDMJim 04-26-2008, 10:37 PM I'm sure the hotel will be near the strip and there is an overhead train on the strip anyway.
Driver_Lost 04-27-2008, 01:25 AM From what I know, this event will blow the doors off of any Vegas strip night. So I would say plan an extra day for that action. If you have enough energy left. :lalala:
mocascion 04-27-2008, 05:55 AM Scion_promos I still cant rsvp maybe im the only person having this problem?
I also have been unable to RSVP. At the last submit option it throws an error and it then redirects me to the main Scion.com page.
I'm just going to call on Monday.
just4imz 04-27-2008, 08:20 AM the reason i coudlnt rsvp was because i was checking the disabled room box which i need a disabled room but my girl and her friend tryed it with out clicking that box and it went threw.
DodgerGirl 04-28-2008, 10:40 PM Anyone got a call time yet?
robbiej 04-28-2008, 11:17 PM nothing yet, hopefully soon
ESEMRFOZZ13 04-28-2008, 11:46 PM so has this event gone from 500 chosen cars to whatever 500 scions will go :ponder: what kind of gifts will be given, will this be way better than loosing 4 days of work ?
BNABox 04-29-2008, 12:31 AM Everything should be mailed this week w/ all of the info.
TheScionicMan 04-30-2008, 04:40 AM I'm excited for this. Scion always does things up nice.
FYI, the last time I went to a Scion event that had "entertainment", it was Ludacris. Just sayin...
robbiej 04-30-2008, 05:24 AM yeah, and the time before was Grand Master Flash.
ketchup_xb 04-30-2008, 08:14 AM im just excited to meet jake aka milfhunter aka boiseauctioqueer or whoever is name is. :D
Yellow_Sub 04-30-2008, 12:57 PM me tooo! like i said before first round is on me buddy!
EVILDAVE 05-01-2008, 06:44 PM im just excited to meet jake aka milfhunter aka boiseauctioqueer or whoever is name is. :D :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Can't wait to see everyone and meet some new folks in person.
lancer 05-02-2008, 05:28 AM does anyone know if they got all the cars they need for this. i am ready to roll out
hit me back
lancer
ChelsDS 05-02-2008, 05:32 AM Should all wear name tags. :P
alfundo 05-02-2008, 10:15 AM 2 name tags, one with your real name and one with your screen name. ;)
k-boy 05-02-2008, 09:19 PM lol name tags sound koo, or just walk around shouting your name out.. lol
ChelsDS 05-03-2008, 12:36 AM Woohoo, got my box! :) It's so cool that we're given a big ___ wallet. Or folio, whichever. :) Group 3 as well. Who else?
ESEMRFOZZ13 05-03-2008, 12:51 AM G4 here, no name tag but they did send a dog tag in my package
JOEinSD 05-03-2008, 01:17 AM does anyone know if they got all the cars they need for this. i am ready to roll out
hit me back
lancerI recieved an email from Scion today telling me to register still, so I'm guessing that they do still need more cars. From word on the street they need a LOT more tCs.
I thought it was too late, but now it looks like I'll be registering now. =]
MissBenilda 05-03-2008, 04:37 AM Are they bumping people?? cuz some ppl are getting emails uninviting them after they've already been selected.
someone clear this up please cuz thats not cool.
jwaj2002 05-03-2008, 04:46 AM I had to send them an e-mail saying I couldn't go but got an e-mail saying my packet was on the way
Yellow_Sub 05-03-2008, 04:58 AM 2 name tags, one with your real name and one with your screen name. ;)
wonder which screenname jake will puke down hahahahah
ChelsDS 05-03-2008, 05:06 AM I don't think he means we actually receive two dog tags. I only have one with the Scion emblem on it. I think he meant to say they should've given us two with names on it for name tags.
toeveryhour 05-03-2008, 06:09 AM what's with all these different groups like group 3, group 4? i thought there was just 2groups?
toeveryhour 05-03-2008, 06:11 AM Are they bumping people?? cuz some ppl are getting emails uninviting them after they've already been selected.
someone clear this up please cuz thats not cool.
Who? I haven't heard anything about them bumping people. If anything, I don't think they have 500 yet.
MissBenilda 05-03-2008, 06:54 AM thats what i thought too but a pnw guy got an email saying:
"Sorry, but your Scion has not been selected to participate in ScionUnited. Don’t be bummed though; it just didn’t fit within the specs of this particular photo shoot. Thank you for your submission."
jwaj2002 05-03-2008, 08:01 AM he probably never got picked, they are most likely trying to be nice to people, my packet is on the way, but I can't go, sent 2 e-mail stating that now
robbiej 05-03-2008, 08:29 AM I originally got a call from Danny asking if I was available the 14th to the 18th of May for Scion United and that I was one of the 25 selected for group 1, that was a month ago, then today I got the email MissB is talking about. So, now I don't even know if I'm going, need to get some answers, fast, have emails and calls into Kevin, he is looking into it.
kkawana 05-03-2008, 02:18 PM Scion_promos I still cant rsvp maybe im the only person having this problem?
I also have been unable to RSVP. At the last submit option it throws an error and it then redirects me to the main Scion.com page.
I'm just going to call on Monday.
did you ever call in on this and figure things out???
sheez..talk about keeping things secret...lol
Rob...
hope they clear that up and you still get to go.... between those who got accepted and those who declind or couldnt go... i'd be surprised if they bump some1 who can/wants to go
toeveryhour 05-03-2008, 05:56 PM they can't just say you can go and then decline you.
i bet that one person was never even picked.
and as for the person in the top 25, did you register twice by accident? call danny and he'll figure things out. he has helped me EVERY TIME i called him.
yellowxboy 05-03-2008, 06:18 PM Time to make a ScionUnited winner forum section? :)
robbiej 05-03-2008, 06:36 PM and as for the person in the top 25, did you register twice by accident? call danny and he'll figure things out. he has helped me EVERY TIME i called him.
Only registered once, called Danny, not getting much help there at this time. Talked to Kevin, he said he would get me answers and get back to me, but it looks like they are going to leave me hanging until at least Monday. If I recieve a package before then, great, if not, going to be on the phone looking for answers bright and early Monday morning. How hard is it to look on the list of names that are attending and see if I'm on it. I don't care if they decide to not use my car, but I have already gotten time off work, had scratch in car fixed, set up an appointment to have it detailed next weekend and have reservations in Boulder City for the 13th, I need to get answers so that I can cancel things if I'm not going. I have a headache, lol.
robbiej 05-03-2008, 06:51 PM Called Danny, again, he said the director was changing some of the cars and it sounds like I may just be moved to a diff. group, will find out more Monday. he didn't think anyone was bumped from the trip.
MissBenilda 05-03-2008, 08:40 PM i bet that one person was never even picked.
Yea but he was picked. Thats the issue. If he wasnt even picked then we wouldnt even be discussing this right now.
toeveryhour 05-03-2008, 11:46 PM Called Danny, again, he said the director was changing some of the cars and it sounds like I may just be moved to a diff. group, will find out more Monday. he didn't think anyone was bumped from the trip.
wtf, i would be ____ed if they moved me to a different group. can they even do that? that makes no sense and is pretty low. what group were you put in initially?
robbiej 05-04-2008, 12:06 AM group 1, 14th to the 18th.
JDMJim 05-04-2008, 03:04 AM I got anothe RSVP that I can't do anything with. I'm getting a bit confused as well.
toeveryhour 05-04-2008, 05:59 AM interesting....................
Townsend_xB 05-05-2008, 12:14 AM Awww man.... I have been so busy I think I missed this.... :(
Townsend_xB 05-05-2008, 12:14 AM Awww man.... I have been so busy I think I missed this.... :(
DodgerGirl 05-05-2008, 02:28 PM Awww man.... I have been so busy I think I missed this.... :(
You can still sign up, deadline is May 7th!!!!
zooduster 05-05-2008, 08:34 PM Anybody got any idea whats going on, very confusing?
MommaKat 05-05-2008, 11:05 PM Got my packet today, Group 4.
I think a lot of things will be cleared up as people get their packages from Scion United and can see just where and when they have to be certain places.
MommaKat
robbiej 05-05-2008, 11:16 PM Called Danny, again, he said the director was changing some of the cars and it sounds like I may just be moved to a diff. group, will find out more Monday. he didn't think anyone was bumped from the trip.
wtf, i would be ____ed if they moved me to a different group. can they even do that? that makes no sense and is pretty low. what group were you put in initially?
Well, looks like they don't even want me to show up, Danny is still trying to get answers, they are still trying to get people to sign up yet they are dropping people, said he has a dozen people with the same questions. Its like, hey, you won the lottery, oh, but we've decided to not pay it out this week, good luck next time, :tap: :loser: . Not feeling Scion at this moment.
MissBenilda 05-05-2008, 11:52 PM aww rob :(
kkawana 05-06-2008, 12:17 AM i demand a recount ... especially if they are still taking "new entrants" to try and go...
toeveryhour 05-06-2008, 01:28 AM well i got my package in the mail and am confirmed for group 1.
i can't believe they don't have a roll call of some sort to post up here. they need to get their stuff straight considering that the event IS next weekend....
MissBenilda 05-06-2008, 06:26 AM i dont think every Scion owner that entered is apart of Scion Life, and the ones who did most likely already posted up in his/her region or in this thread...
foose801 05-06-2008, 07:51 AM has anyone else received their package yet?
all i know is i'm in group 3, and i can't wait for my package!
EVILDAVE 05-06-2008, 01:40 PM Ya ,I'm in group 3 also. I met some folks that never even hurd of Scion Life that are going to and thier car is bone stock.
ChelsDS 05-06-2008, 06:32 PM I have a guest, but I don't know if I'll be moved to a different group or hotel now. Think I should chance it?
toeveryhour 05-06-2008, 07:28 PM i dont think every Scion owner that entered is apart of Scion Life, and the ones who did most likely already posted up in his/her region or in this thread...
I'm not saying Scion Life IDs, Beyond Marketing doesn't even have them for that matter. I'm talking about names, just like Miami. They had a list of names.
DodgerGirl 05-06-2008, 09:46 PM I have a guest, but I don't know if I'll be moved to a different group or hotel now. Think I should chance it?
Go!!!!
MissBenilda 05-06-2008, 09:51 PM I'm not saying Scion Life IDs, Beyond Marketing doesn't even have them for that matter. I'm talking about names, just like Miami. They had a list of names.
I know what you mean...no sense in posting up the names of people irrelevant to the forum though IMO. Some people wouldnt want their name posted up on a forum for privacy reasons which to me is a good enough reason not to have a list.
Nothing wrong with starting a Scion Life list though... :)
reaprz 05-06-2008, 11:40 PM I recieved my package --- anyone else from Tucson or Az in Group 2 ??
toeveryhour 05-07-2008, 12:48 AM Nothing wrong with starting a Scion Life list though... :)
Do I hear a volunteer? lol
ChelsDS 05-07-2008, 01:37 AM I have a guest, but I don't know if I'll be moved to a different group or hotel now. Think I should chance it?
Go!!!!
I did, and now I'm in group 4 and staying at Green Valley :? Go check your status by logging in, http://www.scion.com/scionunitedrsvp , Call Time, then click on the Download Calltime PDF. Not sure if the site is f'ked up or not. No idea how this is going to work since I have a G3 sticker :rofl:
tc4joe 05-07-2008, 01:50 AM hey Chels... I'm in group 4 at green valley also... I guess I'll be seeing you again. I'll try to be more awake/friendly than I was at the meguiars class (i don't do to well when I gotta get up too early...). :P
MojicaX 05-07-2008, 02:50 AM I'm in group 2, and traveling from Kansas City!
ESEMRFOZZ13 05-07-2008, 04:46 AM i've got a G4 package but have been moved to G2
JDMJim 05-07-2008, 02:53 PM see you peeps in G3
ChimChim 05-07-2008, 05:18 PM I also was in group 4 online but when I got my package I am not in group 2. I'm going to go by what my package says.
robbiej 05-07-2008, 08:19 PM Yea, group 1, got my itenerary emailed to me today package is on its way.
k-boy 05-07-2008, 10:23 PM Got my package monday and it says im in group4 but email said group 3 oh well, ill still be there, and what are the different groups for anyway if i may ask? an Houston Texas here
HoldFastHope 05-07-2008, 10:29 PM Hey guys, this is coming directly from the scion united group on yahoo and one of their representatives...
This was posted at around 10am...
Hi everyone,
We are currently investigating discrepancies between the physical
packages delivered and the online website information now. We appreciate
the follow-up with BeyondMG and thank you very much for your patience
as we address this issue.
I hope to follow-up with a message regarding resolution to this issue
and or updates in the next day or so.
Again, we appreciate your patience! Thanks a bunch!
And this was posted at around 230pm...
Hi everyone,
After auditing the groups listed on both packages and website, we've
definitely found some inconsistency with the website. For now, please
assume that the Group # listed in the package is the correct one.
In the meantime we are working diligently to update the website with
the proper groups and we hope to get that completed by tomorrow. Will
send another email out when it is resolved.
Again if you RSVP'd some time ago and have not received your package,
please contact Beyond marketing (kevin@...)
Thanks!
So, basically go by what your package itinerary says and not by the online itinerary.
k-boy 05-07-2008, 10:41 PM well group4 it is for me then.. lol cant wait to meet everyone..
HoldFastHope 05-07-2008, 11:01 PM Update:
The correct groupings that is already reflected in the package should
now be completely updated on the Scion United site. Please login and
check.
Apologies for any inconvenience. An email will be sent to all parties
impacted to communicate this fix.
Thanks!
Things should be all squared away now with this issue...
toeveryhour 05-07-2008, 11:20 PM what are the different groups for anyway if i may ask?
organization of arrival times...
ESEMRFOZZ13 05-07-2008, 11:29 PM i get up and go back to G4, the later the better haa

joesal23 05-08-2008, 04:34 AM well group4 it is for me then.. lol cant wait to meet everyone..

www.scionlife.com/misc/Logo_Artwork_License_ScionLife.pdf
For some reason the filesize ended up being a bit large, but that shouldn't be a problem. Just fill out the rest of the info and send that in to make sure there are no problems with ScionLife stickers. Umm, I'm not sure where you're supposed to send it, but I'm sure someone else can chime in with that answer. Have fun!
