Well as many know Cindy and I are split up and gettign a divorce.It is someting we both agreed to do and even though it is hard to do after so many years together it is something that must be done.

This morning I am giving her the tC and the keys and walking away from it.It has become a festering pain to me and something to fight over and I do not want that.

I doubt I will be at any shows anymore and probably not be to many meet and greets and most likely even not on here since I will not even have a Scion.

I am happy to have meet so many great people the last few years in the comunity and it has brought me great joy to be able to build such a great car and have fun with so many good people........

Remember to enjoy each day because you never know what life is bringing around the corner for you.........

Brian Zinn

I'm sorry things are ending up this way for you and Cindy, Brian. You two were some of the first people I met when joining this thing of ours.

Don't quit hanging out just because you don't have the TC any more,
you're Scion family, and will always be welcome.

Take care man.. and DON'T just disappear.

Hey Brian.

Well I am not out there anymore obviosuly but i know people will miss you. You should still hang out regardless. Your always a barrel full of laughs and it was always nice to chat or laugh with you. Im sorry things played out this way. But you gotta do whats best for you and your son. Hang in there. I know there are some people out there that will be there for ya. Im always here to talk man. And like i said in the dear thread. Come take a load off here in key west. I got a spare room and the bed is big enough for you and your son.

Ya Brian, you don't need to stop hanging out with us or showing up at events or shows since you don't own a Scion anymore. You can always still help work on cars with us like we did last summer no matter what..

We're sorry to hear what is going on, but hopefully it's for the best for both of you and that you'll move onto something better - you never know.. Stay positive & don't be a stranger

Agreed, that doesn't make sense. You are part of the us and because you don't you don't have dosen't mean your not part of the group. take some time off and come back when you are ready, just make sure you do come back!

Brian, don't just go away man, we're a family here, nobody cares what car you have or what shows you go to, it's all about just being friends.

I know I've been gone for a while as I lost interest in my car but I realized that I missed the people and still went to the meets when I could. I should try to head up to the Tacoma meet some more and should be able to with my school schedule the way it is this quarter, so I do hope to see you around man..

brian u know no matter what happens and what ride u have u will always be welcomed to come and hang out with us. Plus we gots to hook up the eggplant and make it stand out LOL Plus u know once a scion owner always a scion family member

plus u still have to help me out on modding my car

^^what he said...

I hope the best for you Brian! You are a great guy, don't stop coming to shows and events because you don't own a scion!!

You know I always wish the best for both of you. I agree with everyone else. I would love to see you around. I know it may be a bit before your able but we look forward to seeing u again.

dont leave us brian we all still need your widsom and guidinace!! on our furture mods....dont be a stranger

Brian, i know we havent talked much, but you really are one of the people on here i have so much respect for. Keep your head held high and if you ever need anything don't hesitate to call me or shoot me a message. You were the first one there for me when i had my accident last year and its something i'll never forget. hope to hear from u soon Brian!

gl buddy. thanks for helping me out in the past.

Hey man I have never met you but I am with the rest of them. Don't quit being around those you have fun with and engoying each others company just cause you've changed vehicle styles. Agood community is one that says come on in no matter what and I know that this group is just that.

:)

:( dude...best wishes

sorry to hear brian :(. like most said, just cuz your car doesnt say scion on it doesnt mean you still can't go and hang out and have fun with everyone that you hve been that you've met through here and the scion world. if you need anything let me know, you know how to get ahold of me

NOOO BRIAN!

Brian, you know we all love you and can't stand to see you go! Within two days 14-15 people have already professed their love and respect for you. I doubt I'd get 14-15 people if I waited 6 months!

You're very important to the PNW scene, Brian. Lots of us have met you, worked with you, or just heard about you from others and not a single person has anything other than amazing things to say about you. You're a legend out here, man.

You've helped us and in turn we'll be here for you as long as you need us...just keep coming back and we'll be here, scion or not.

besides Brian - we can always put a Scion logo on the eggplant to make it more legit then

We really do want you to stay, no matter what you drive. You are one of us, and we do mean it.

We WANT you here, Brian. We really do.

Guys.......please stop the childish behind the back whispers......cindy is aware I posted up on here,we have no malice towards each other,and I should be able to wish you all well without drama in the background.......

The car is hers,I built it for her,I put all the parts in it and bought them all but I did it for her benifit.......I am being a bigger man by not trifling over parts on a car.....

She does not have much right now,she is down and out and life is very hard for her,she needs support,not people whispering,and more crap......

Yes her and I are not gettign along at all right now,we are taking a break and working things through,it is hard.......

I did not expect to hear people talking behind my back like I found out about......shame on you guys......it is not 4th grade.....

This is an adult forum and we are all supposed to be friends and helping each other not talking behind each others backs.......ick.......

I know many do not like me and I know many more do......personally I like all of you.....I like helping and having fun with everyone.......that is what I found great in Scion and the people.......

Please do not lock this thread.......I hope it has been civil enough and I just wanted to thank everyone for their time,I am not turning my back,I jsut cannot sit daily and look at Scions when it is jsut a heartbreak memory to me now......ok.

Brian let me be the first to say I wish you and Cindy BOTH all the best in life. I adore each of you, seperately, or together. I'm sure every person on this forum knows that life doesn't always go how we want it to or how we have planned. I'm sure we all also know that we keep going on no matter the circumstances. What happened between you and Cindy is nobodys business but yours and I hope each of you continue to be active in the scene as you are both amazing people. If there is anything you need from me or anything, anything at all that I can do to make any of this any easier for either of you, don't hesitate to call.

ummm i was just hoping you would stick around....i dont remember talking about you or cindy.

I will kinda be around,I will still be part of Balliztik,Egplant is the official mascot for the team.......

Plus I have a lot of friends here that I really adore and enjoy,but I will not be doing any Scion events,no Scion so no events.....lol.....yes it sucks.

I know people want to see the Yaris when I finish modding,I am selling off the last of my art collection to buy parts now.......all my nice art pieces are gone so I just kinda gave up on them.....lol.....I will still restore them and that money will goto more mods as always,that is how I built Cindys car on my tile repairs........over 750 repairs in 30 months......

There are a few people who tend to start drama and like to talk behind others backs around and I got word of it,I am not even going to bother addressing them as it is a waste of time,but I know Cindy will not speak up for herself,she is very reserved,unlike me who is completely out there for all to see.....lol

I have a lot of things to offer around here........I know the car inside out and can do more to them than most and that is what I will continue to do for poeple,pay it forward we must........

Brian, hopefully you can make it up yo the swap meet. Even If you have nothing to sell, at least come hang out.

I may,I want you to look at the Yaris and see if camber blocks will work on it,it is pretty close in design to 1st gens so it may,I wold like some camber.....lol......dont ask....

I also need a piece milled for the engine top like I had on the tC,there is nothing for 1.5 to cover the coils and they are super ugly on the car and i do not want to spend $200 on a cf cover,i like billet.

We can definately take a look at both of those idea. i think the XD and the Yaris rear hubs are the same bolt pattern/periphery. So maybe we can get the pattern off eggplant and i can bang some out.

xD is 5x100 same as tC... unless your talkin about some other spec of the rear hub assembly... if you are... i'll take my foot out of mouth now :P

KK, i'm talking about behind the hub, where you'd bolt in spacers/camber. I'll check, but i think randode sells spacers for the XD and he says they fit Yaris also.

yeah, here it is:

http://randode.com/store/product82.html

yeah I also thought it had same inners as the xD but the outers were same as xB.......they pretty much went shopping for ideas in their own shelves and came up with a working piece.

oohhhh..... ok... see i just wanted to suck on my own foot... :P

Cliff....on a semi-related note... may need your assistance when putting on my rear camber...think i need to move a brake line piece but not 100% sure

I know people want to see the Yaris when I finish modding,I am selling off the last of my art collection to buy parts now.......all my nice art pieces are gone so I just kinda gave up on them.....lol.....I will still restore them and that money will goto more mods as always,that is how I built Cindys car on my tile repairs........over 750 repairs in 30 months......


you sold the art collection? that stuff was awesome!!! glad you're still restoring those ones, because i know u seemed to enjoy doing that. then again when it comes to cars we give up certain stuff to mod ( i've debated selling my drums to mod more lol). next time i'm out in your area i'll get ahold of you (hopefully soon )

well all i know is that the eggplant will probly be making trips to my garage when brian starts the modding and by then i hope to have the garage cleaned up better to make room for that and my tc to start getting modded for auto x.

yeah gonna be acouple of weeks at worst before the next two mods go in,they are sitting here waiting......

everything got put on hold as of sunday.....i got a medical issue,chest pains,sever chest pains,may be as simple as high bloodpressure from all the stress,but may be something more......

I goto doctor tomorrow unless I need to call 911 tonight.....but I think I am ok for the night........

Been in bad pain since sunday though,looks like drinking,smoking,coffee and everyother fun thing are off the table for now......lol

Could be as simple as heartburn, but not something to play "wait and see" with, Brian...

nah it is not heartburn.......it is in my chest and all the signs of heart or lung related.....i am monitoring myself very closely talked to doctor and taking aspirin to keep my blood thin till morning unless something changes,then i will call 911,fire department is 50 feet away with ambulance and hospital is 5 minutes away.......will know more tomorrow......this sucks though,not how i wanted to spend my week.

keep us informed and make sure you take care of yourself and dont hesitate to go or call someone if you think its getting worse or somethings not right

after i posted the below i read up a couple posts.......you better have results for us today bud!! and i hope every thing comes back good! i had really bad chest pain christmas day, went to dr on monday and they said it was anxiety...




god d**n it brian, you better NOT just dissapear...CJ doesnt have a scion any more and he still comes around, allen has never had a scion and now that he has friday / sat off he will be comming around!! we are family man, through thick and thin...and you still have a toyota!! and thats the same blood as the scion! (its just a little thicker of blood)...we can still have tech days, we can still do install days, no matter the car, the principals are still the same (most of the time)...if it werent for you and larry i wouldnt have had the balls to do my own brakes today!
