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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Taking off 3 days to drive there and another 3 days to drive back. I need to be there 5/14 at noon. Once there everything is included. Secret location 20 miles outside of Vegas, I assume they will put us up in Vegas. Also 3 A-list musicians are expected to play at the private party. WOO HOO! Mutha f-ing ROAD TRIP!

Jeff and Melissa CALL ME! Let's see if we can meet up in PA and caravan to Vegas, you thought it was a long drive from Pitts to NY...lol!

Uhm, I got an e-mail to sign up.. again? I don't get it..

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??

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

I totaly agree... Maybe they could have a list of "Picked" and "RSVP'd" names to post up.

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.

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.

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...

How many cars have been accepted/invited to the event?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Here is the link to the official signed form for permission to show ScionLife stickers on your rides.

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!
