Hey everyone,
Some of you have noticed my absence from the forums, meets, events, and shows until I was no longer attending period. Here's your official explanation.

Its been an amazing 2-3 years. I've met so many people that have become close life long friends, amazing individuals, families, clubs, crews, and have so many memories of good times to proudly store in memory. *Considering most of you who know me.. know that I'm a punk rock musician and can give a **** about anyone* haha. I've since secretly parted out my Tc and picked up a new platform for a new project.

I would say its nothing personal but.. it is. I don't agree with the direction Scion is going in marketing the tuner industry to the public. (Sheds light on modded cars, more police hassles) I enjoyed being different, I enjoyed not having crowded scion events *with other actual owners that really are enthusiasts* , and not seeing so many half modded, ugly, and annoying scions and owners. I've also noticed the beef on the boards *including moderators covering up for others*, clubs being shady, dealerships that are shadier, and jealous/small minded individuals that hate on others cars when this is all about fun and one large family. A lot of people have lost sight of that to instead host their ego's. The scion scene was an escape for me but now its just old.

But there's no way I can say Scion wasn't a huge eye-opening part of my life so thank you. Thanks to all the individuals and clubs for putting on so many amazing events.

Special Thanks to : Chris (mightygnu), Andy (andino), James (infinixa), Jarod (jrod), Tina (with the sickest wide body pink tc), Chris (Chris Garage), Joe, Kirby, Dan Gardner, Alex (browndog), and the list could seriously just go on.

Big ups to these clubs: Scion Ryders, Alpha Squad, Team Sciontific, Scion Evolution, Scion Driven Girls, Socal Tc Club, & certain people from Scion Image.

My Fav Events...All Scion VIP's, Alpha Squad's Seasons End, and Scion Superhighway.

This is just how I honestly feel. I don't need your negative feedback or judgment because I honestly could care less. Also its funny how people hide behind forums and youtube but in real life...they're as quiet as a mouse. haha sorry had to say it..but I won't name names.

I'll always throw it up for the Tc's out there.

See you guys sideways...
-Jonny
