Went today. All the super exotcs were there except the Enzo. They also had a beautiful blue Porsche Turbo S with blue rims and yellow calipers. Every single AMG model. The new GTO sport model. So much better looking. Also the new C6, very awesome!

Ther were also a couple custom scions on display with SE logos. Anyone know who they belong to?

~wCYa I saw the hands on contest. No xB this year though they do have a tC in it. Lots of key chain freebies at the Scion booth along with cd samplers. The custom SE tc had the TRD s/c on it according to the placard.

They have more then keychains, show them your Scion key and
get a hat. I got a regular cap and a hat.

The display Tc had the pedestial spoiler, it was also a 5 spd
(Flint Mica)

Nice show, I was almost fixed in place at the GT40 turntable, they pretty
much had everything (EVO VIII MR, STI, Mini Cooper S with works package
.....)

Must get free stuff. I think I need another keychain for my spare key (and perhaps a backup one in case my other keychains get damaged.) So what do you do for the hat? Just go up to them and tell em "I'm a tC owner, give me a hat?"

Linky for those interested.

I went yesterday and the show was great....the Carrera GT and the Bentley were hot.....I think the tC on display is from a SE member from the west coast it was done by MONTEGI RACING......

I recognize your name from the MR2oc. If I recall correctly, you've got one beautiful MkII.

Bad news is:
1) No free stuff for having a 93 Turbo MR2
2) Dont think the scion guy had a clue what an alltrac is
3) 3 cars = MR2 sitting outside under a cover

Good tip for the hat. Got mine yesteaday. You can get the beanie by answering one of their questions. Since I've been obsessed with my tC for a while, that was easy. As for the hat, you gonna need to ask them. They offered a beanie initially but if you ask for the hat specifically, they'll fork it over. It's like they're keeping it secret cause we had to do it in the back and they handed over the hat kinda secretely.

Thanks WheelSee.

I have some pictures up of the 2004 DC Auto Show on my website...

WWW.PBASE.COM/REB

They are at the bottom of the page. I got the guy at the Scion booth to open the hood of the TC so that I could take a couple of pictures of the engine. Nice work..

Take a look and let me know what you think.. Did anyone see the Cadilac Sixteen?? 1000 Horsepower.. :shock: Match that..

From those pics it looks like it has no TRD supercharger on it like it advertised. Anyone else figure where it is.

when I looked at the motegi sign it didn't say it had a supercharger...
