this was the most general spot i could find for this topic so here goes

i had an idea about doing a drive from nyc to sf and stopping at different cities to have car shows and do fundraisers for charity. thats the basics. now it has become more of a meet in the middle of the country so that everyone has an equal chance to participatecuriuos to see if anyone else would be interested in something like this. it would be for next summer and if coordianted right could have big car shows, or stop at shows like HIN or EXPOSED. u wouldnt have to do the whole trip but whatever portion you would want to. say, ny to cleveland, or l.a. to vegas. obviously it would take alot of work, and i wouldnt mind trying to coordinate it, but the 1st step is to find the interest level than everything else can fall into place. please give me some opinions. thanks.

and if ur opinion/post is going to be useless, refrain from posting and save some valuable space

that is an awsome idea if you are really intrested in the idea send it to this guy on scion life his handle is chewy he is the guy to talk to about shows and gaterings around the north east states

feel free to pass it on

I would be up for it... Maybe doin some major photoshoots along the way. We would have to put some dates together and see what time of the year will work best. I know there are a few guys in Chicago planning on taking a trip t oFlorida around the time of spring break. Maybe we can incorporate this somehow.

Ill check back and see how the interest is. A large cruise sounds awesome

It would kinda be like the power tour but with a lot less power, but think that sounds like a cool idea

How about from New York City to Torrance, CA. Scion's HQ.

ummmm we have been rambling about a cross country rally like this for a while

:D

well if you hit up some places with tracks ill take a week worth of the trip with you but it has to be after next may so i can drink if we hit up some clubs lol

im going to start making calls today to diff places and get answers to some questions i have hopefully. they can keep talkin about what they want to do

ALL I have to say is That IAm Down ANd ROAD TRIP!!!!!!
I only get 2 week vacation from work,thats sucks

only if i was rich

and if some of that fundraisin money goes into my pockey :lalala: :silly:

if anything, i'll have vacation time from work and skool so, yea, i'm down!!!! :gun: :gun: :gun: :gun:

ucyib2papi please keep me in the loop on the ny end of this if you really want this to happen. here on LI you have 2 of the largest scion clubs- SENY & NRG. i can only speak for NRG but i will mention it to rick or les of SENY next time i see them. between the 2 clubs we have tons of resources to make this happen. also you should contact urban racer, they do all the scion corp events here in ny. i spoke with them over the summer about a scion kickoff the car show season party at jones beach so i know they wanted to do something at jones beach, this may be it :D

cool, thanks for the info. im moving all my talk to this forum but i will be checking the NE region for comments and making some from time to time as well as the gumball run or whatever.
i still waiting for a response but ive got some planning down, and will continue working on this

I think you've got a great idea going and I hope to hear that it works.

What you'll have to do is make up a full route plan and call ahead to every location(not a big deal at all). What might be tough is keeping the crowd for extended periods. You'll want to be sure you've got coast to coast support because you might not get too many willing to drive from side to side. I'm sure you'll pick up a lot of people and drop off a lot as they decide that they've driven as far as they can and then have to turn around.

I'd love to be a part of this but I'd be one that could only go so far. I'd hang with ya for as long as possible but can only road trip so much. One you get a route idea, let us know and each of us as individuals can help spread the word in our own Scion communities. With Scion Life's help maybe this can turn into a HUGE event.

edit
check pg 2

sounds good so far! i can assure you the NY, NJ, PA, CT would definitely be there for day 1 & 2 maybe even day 3

the drive from nyc to chicago is 12 hrs going 72, just as a point of reference

cool! i really hope this happens! NRG loves road trips!!!
:D

Once we get the dates nailed down I will give you a hand setting up any other info needed. maybe even design some t-shirts from the clubs in different areas and trade off when we meet up. this sounds like it may be the event of the summer for me

update:
i have emailed urban racer, make a wish foundation, ohio state police (not the school), and am waiting for them to respond. im also going to talk to a indiana state trooper today about some info and go on from there.
i will be writing a letter to monster energy drink about sponsorship for this as well

edit

check pg 2

The schedule seems kind of rushed. There isnt much time in each city. I think it would be cool to do photoshoots and shows in each city. I dont know what kind of time frame people could stretch out to. Im definately all about this idea. I think its amazing. As prez of ScinergyPA I would be willing to help out with anything you might need to get this together. My dealership is pretty good about supporting Scion events.

guys i already started this a long time ago and the thread is still running, get the info here http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=76831&start=175

i know about that thread, but that is going nowhere, and nobody is doing a thing.
not to mention they want more of a race, my idea is different and i am making things happen.
feel free to join me here, since u did start it, and want something like this to happen

I have Drove this Trip Numerous times by myself it will Take a Total of 5 To 6 days From Ny to CA and Back. That is ample time For rest and Driving Unless you have more than One Driver it can be accomplished sooner . Off course the speed limit get to be about 75 mph after Ohio Good luck its a long trip..I don't have off those days so I won't be able to attend. If you need a good map Your Local AAA can provide you with a Map that details all construction and road closers .

ok

saturday b4 memorial day will be the kickoff in ny. details to come
sunday will be in the midwest, probably chicago/detroit
monday lookin for tulsa ok
then tuesday/wednesday are drive days (or we can go to denver), where people who want to continue can drive at a slower pace, and tour the country
then thursday in las vegas
friday in los angeles
and the weekend to drive back

im pretty confident in the nyc and chicago/detroit being set up now im going to work on the next ones.

www.ScionExpo.com < Please keep in mind Needs to updated for 2006

www.ScionSquare.com < Volunteers Please vist events Forums (Scion Expo 2006 Committee's are now being formed )

any ways we plan to do next year some time in NOV or OCT. (our GOAL is to bring SCION Owners from ALL OVER the U.S.A.)

maybe we can tie this in some how....
BUT IM DOWN TO HELP!!!!!

THANKS
MIK

^ that is what i would like!

seems like we can get that done in ny and hopefully in chicago if i can get some help from the south, that woudl be awesome. not to mention that originally i was planning to go on the north side of the country but seems like more people in the southern states are into it so thats y ive been changing . it would be nice to tie this all together. please keep in contact and ill do the same

We need to get all the Main Heads of Car Clubs together and see what we can come up with....

I'm in, but we have a nationwide meet 2 weeks after this in OKC, Ok.
Timing might not be the best, but I will do what I can. Just let me know what you need for the Tulsa show. :)

well, it looks like baby steps r being taken and i can adapt so how bout this. instead of having the drive all the way across from east to west, since most people wont do it, and some people in the west coast want to drive east,
I THINK WE SHOULD MEET UP IN OKLAHOMA on memorial day
still start fri or sat and do a couple of shows along the way but then do a big blowout event there

thats what im gonna go w/ for now.
thanks to the few folks who have gotten back to me and r willing to help in any way, i will get in contact w/ u more as time goes on

Dang, I dont think thats possblie for me, just cause we have
our 4th annual Beach Party (HoustonHipHop.com Party on
Memorial Day ), thats a huge event.

i like the 'meeting in the middle' idea...now next Q is there a place in Oklahoma that can handle all of us? :D

well.... i know tulsa is pretty big. sucks there, but its big.

also, if u plan on drinking while in oklahoma, bring ur own beer
they have 3.2% beer boooooooo

LOL i will leave that up to the NRG team drinkers aka ohio, pa, ny chapters :D

:rofl: You got us there.



I say since we are already planning a huge event for June 17th, and traffic will be horrible Memorial weekend, you should just plan on coming to our event. We had already planned on making it a nationwide even and hosting it in OKC since it is so central.

It was never intended to be Scikotics only.

So come to Scikotics Asylum '06 and we will have a bigass party.

OKC huh??? hmm... i remember seeing the other thread(race style) about this awhile back...... I'm sure I can get a decent group from the PNW to show up... somewhere....tho how bout somewhere a bit more glitzy?? like Vegas!! lol... prolly mentioned b4 somewhere in one of the threads like this...
any way thats my 2 cents.... will keep an eye on this and see where final destination ends up.... road trip would be fun :)

Vegas would be a helluve drive for east-coasters.

We thought about KC to, but we don't have anyone local to help organize it there.

vegas would definitely be a long haul for us here on the east coast. so if theres nothing really in oklahoma, how about texas? its a huge state, we have plenty of scion clubs located there that could help out...maybe get scion to help out since they did a scion exposed in tx?

amarillo wouldnt be bad
the only problem w/ june 17th is its a saturday which takes away from driving days as opposed to memorial. true traffic will suck that day, but it would be nice to time it so we r doing stuff while traffic is going on
maybe we should have a poll to see what day works best

oh and vegas, would be great but thats far for alot of people let alone east coast.
tulsa times from nyc, miami, l.a., are all about 20-22 hrs drives

if we did the june 17th one, it would just be one show that day and people would have to meet along the way. which isnt to bad. then the ny people can come to chicago on sunday and tour (not much there, god i miss ny) or what not. just thinkin out loud now

i just dont want this thread to become what the other one became which was all talk about how we should do this and that but noone takes action

NRG definitely wants to do this & is glad to help out.
IMO-i would also say memorial day weekend would be better for most who dont have many vacation days. i'd rather have fun in traffic than lose a days pay.

I've done routing and planned Caravans all over the US and Canada in my JBody Bash days. If anyone needs any help with logistics, or just has any general questions, I'll be glad to help out where I can. I can't really commit to anything with certainty right now, but once show schedules start getting nailed down and sponsors are taken care of, I'll try to save at least a couple days for this event.

eh... was just a thought.... and my geography sux.... i was thinking vegas was just north of OK... not so much further west than it is.....

scion exposed in tx?
Yeah it was in Austin & Dallas

Exposed in Houston was skipped because Scion Expo 05 was a HUGE Success!
and u can ask anyone in Scion Corp. / Gulf States Toyota

Scion Expo was put together when we had a (Dallas meets Houston Meet) but i knew that in my mind that something like this was goin to happen....
So we have the blueprints..... its just a matter of showing up.

May 29 2005 was the day we had it, (memorial day weekend)

So how do ya feel about coming to Houston if we did do it on that 3 day weekend.

the only reason i didnt want to do on that date next year was because of the back to back event. (HoustonHipHop.com Beach party) (ive been putting and helping event planners from 1995 to now)

But ,this WILL COME 1st.

tho how bout somewhere a bit more glitzy
Houston is the PLACE to be !!!!


but no matter what date we set, Scion Expo 06 will Go ON for SURE and i would love to see more Scion Owners from all OVER the Coutry!

Thanks

MIK

i have no problem going to houston, and it would probably be more exciting than oklahoma.
lets see what other people feel like?
i know theres a huge showing in tx, and i have a friend that live in houston so....

ive added a poll
and heres a way to tell where people might be coming from
http://www.frappr.com/scionlife

There are always lotsa shows in OKC and Tulsa... as I'm sure Jon and the other OK guys can attest. There is plenty to do in OKC for sure. I have a friend, of a friend that owns a club there, so I could probably make a call and get us in there if there is interest.

Yes, OKC has come a long way. Bricktown has a ton of good stuff. Houston is great, but it is so far south.

I don't wish to get into a big debate, I've expressed my opinions, you all can hash it out.......lol.

sweet htowns in lead

i personally feel that okc would be easier for people to get to, since houston is that far south, but i wouldnt mind going to houston. lets see where this poll takes us, and go from there

ps - is everyone in agreement for the charity to give money to, be the one i mentioned? basically to try and get a difibulator in every school. maybe i can get duracell to donate some money since they have a commercial for it

i think that People from Katrina still NEED alot of help.

4 reals an since htown is closer to NO that would be sweet... htown still leads in 1st.

is the vote over?

no, just noone voting.
true it would be nice to have in houston and maybe work w/ new orleans relief fund, but i think we may not get as big a turnout from other locations because of the distance.
hopefully more people will vote, and ill continue on plans once the new year is here, since people will be concentrating on the holidays now

now that the holidays r over, bump to start conversation again.
i think the drive to houston would be nice, especially in support for new orleans, but i think we would lose people because of how far south it is. i will be meeting w/ some se detroit people next weekend and try and get the word for the se chicago people.
lets get things rolling again

HEY WASUP IAM STILL DOWN FOR THE TRIP LETS GET THIS THING ROLLIN

It looks like our show in June will be more like the old time Main Street hot rod shows. I have a meeting with the city of Broken Arrow, OK. today to start getting everything finalized.

I can't wait!

NRG is still on board to do the kick off party here. already spoke to our sponsor dealership & they said sounds great!
did we ever finalize the date? is it still memorial day weekend?

yeah i think memorial day weekend is best for people so u dont need to much time off from work. how does your group feel about a drive to houston? is that to far or would u prefer tulsa.
houston will have more to offer, but tulsa/ok city would be closer.
im going to start working on having a car show here on sat as well and then we can drive to wherever. is there anybody in the west coast that is interested in hosting a show b4 heading out to the middle?

lol to me either destination is fine cause i dont know if i will be able to make the whole drive(depends on work & stuff).
but in my opinion i think houston would be better cause it does have more to offer & scion corp is out there too.

ok, well see if u can find out from ur club if anyone is interested in going to houston, and know that if needed u have a place to stay at my house. not really on the way, but if people want vacation and check out chicago i got a spot for them.
if theres not a big prob then houston it is.

all of NRG is excited about this!!! all chapters across the US :D
if i & others dont make the whole drive to houston, dont worry other members of NRG will. as we leave from ny, we will have pick ups along the way...remember NRG has chapter in every state along the drive route. so as people flake off to drive back home, others will be picked up along the way. also i will get in touch with betty NRGs texas chapter pres to see if she can help with the final destination spot, maybe another dealership? we have a dealership sponsor in texas, just not sure which one or where, betty will know
thanks for offering your house to :D

ok, so heres my thinking now
u guys r excited about it, i know i am, and we have people in tx that are, but the rest of the country doesnt seem to be to into it.
there is a national meet in iowa (dont know y iowa but ok)
how do u feel about organizing something to coincide w/ that, then while we are there we can start making plans for the following summer, so that its a big thing. people can save vacation days, we can try and get more sponsors get more of a word out.

this is already set up for us, so it should be a success where us trying to do something may falter. i guess people r coming from cali to this event so if u guys came it would bring people from both sides and i konw some of us r going as well.
maybe the tx people will drive up too!
let me know what u guys think, its near the same time we were looking at.

oh and its being run by scinergy
http://scionevolution.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3825

that sounds fine to me since NRG members are also planning to do this event already. also these another drive event planned for memorial day weekend too, ny to florida, organized by SE. look here---
http://www.teamscionrg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1580
i know a bunch of us are thinking of doing this one too since NRG has a FLA chapter too :D

so i take it we'll go w/ that. do this event this yr and try to organize/incorporate w/ this event to do waht we wanted?
i think thats the best way to go about it, especially if we get a big turnout at ames

And its on, Scion Expo has begun...

www.myspace.com/scionexpo

hopefully i can get some conversations going at the ames,ia meet and work that in, so we can do THIS next summer.
i feel that will be the best way!
oh and yay scion expo.
hmm. indy to houston for memorial day????

Houston is the best place for a GUM BALL RALLY, Its in the Middle, but southern...
More about Scion Expo - Not Scion Exposed but Scion Expo
Its put on by Scion Owners.

Raising the bar is what they said… Scion Expo 2005 simply broke new ground. On Sunday May 29, 2005 - Sam Houston Race Park, Houston, Texas the event consisted of free admission, food & drinks, tons of give a ways, ice sculptures, best of show trophies, live dee jays and not to mention a police escorted cruise around the City of Houston, followed with our very own helicopter taking breath taking pictures.
Over 1000 + scion enthusiasts all over Texas came for this huge owners rally. xA, xB, and tC owners rolled in convoys, as many as 30 at a time. Some rolled in stock, some with all kinds of custom work. When it was all said and done no one left unsatisfied.

Last year we had a lot of graduations around the same time, and for this year I cant think of what better way to celebrate with Scion Expos - Club Kryptonite, So bring your dancing shoes... cause The same venue will be turn into Club Kryptonite.
It will be a sight to remember, just like last year.... and we are still doing our TRADEMARK 610 Cruise!!!!!
Last Year we had 250 Scion Vehicles and over 1000 + attendees....

After hearing a demand in the Scion community, another change for this year will be the added SWAP Meet Village, where Scion owners will be given the opportunity to sell trade and buy spare Scion parts.
A preview of whats to come!!!!!

im telling u, a lot of hard work is being put in!!! and all ya got to do ,is come!!!!

lol wow im surprised on how this is going, first it started out in meeting in miami and driving around to different scenic areas, and now its up to going down to houston for a spot reserved for scions. its a shame i would not be able to go even tho i started this (not taking all the credit) but i really do hope all of you enjoy urselves.

yeah, i saw u started a post similar to this after i started this one. im gonna work on some planning for next year at the iowa meet and maybe u should start some planning for a souther route. we can do parallel cruise across the country

Dang i cant wait!!!
