Ok as mentioned in another thread I think its time to start thinking about a name for the local Scion club. I know this Regional sub forum is for the NW...so lets start hearing some names. Here are what I've come up with...and yes I am suggesting some that use seattle as an icon...though I feel the name should encompass a broader area.

Ok let the voting begin, I'll add other names as they are suggested.

ok so now let's all decide since this is a very critical thing. I don't think it should contain anything that says Seattle in it since it will incompass much more tan Seattle. I would hope that it would be open to all in the state. I don't know what do you guys think.

NWS? Northwest Scion? A little generic....

TSL "Team Scion Life" hehe... might as well take advantage of the fact that this site is a NW-based site. No other club can claim to be officially affiliated with the site. I'm going to start taking part in club activities...

How about a name that doesn't have the word Scion in it? It could refer to JDM Toyota somehow.... JTC... Japanese Toyota Club. Hehe... something a little choppy so it seems like it is a direct Japanese translation?

Just ideas.

Hmmm....Interesting thought.

Personally, it doesn't really matter to me what the name is.

I think we should try to say Scion in the name somewhere though.

Right ON! I was actually going to e-mail you today Darren because I knew you'd said you were going to take a more active roll in the club once the cars were about to be launched here. I'm all for a name that either supports the Scion Life name or a club that says something true to the cars heritage...though the tC is an american car...

I know I know my names I put up are far to bland...I'll work on this get post something later.

Scionessence

though the xB is not truely a K-car...and the us xA isn't because of the 1.5 what about something that says k car...or ....just thinking

I GOT IT!

Club Kaizen

From the Toyota's practice of "kaizen" meaning striving for constant improvement. It's one of the core concenpts they state when you become an employee. You don't get much more JDM than using a Japanese word...and it has a really strong meaning. Since these cars are designed to be modified and upgraded that would be a form of improvement.

What does everyone think?

One vote for NW Scions :D

Yeah!! 6 votes!! where is everyone else??!!

Scion-allicious? Scion-abulous? Scion-tific? Scion-callafragalisticexpiallidocious?

:)

North Pacific Scions............

But I guess NW Scion Club is OK :?

Hmm,
Scion Northwest Club
Northwest Scion Club
Pacific Northwest Scion Club
Puget Sound Scion Club
Emerald Scion Club
Evergreen Scion Club *Washington is famous for it's evergreen trees*
Bluewater NW Scion Club *Meh.. can't think of anything else...*

:roll:

I guess we need to decide if there is going to be a Portland/Seattle club or two different clubs. I would be down to headup the Portland club if it is seperate, but I don't think I have the time to do a Seattle/Portland combo.

Lets vote on it in another post...
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13160

How about we run it as a joint club between Seattle and Portland, same name, share any discounts we can get. Have big meets with people from both areas. And all that good stuff. But have it be set up as a co-chaired club. If you couldn't guess I would be happy to run the Seattle Club.

Sound like a plan?

i like the idea of having a dual chapter club.... a name is a name... let's just get it rollin! i'm stoked!

im with bcs, i dont care what the name is either...

but let me put in a word or two. i think the name should include seattle. as thats where most of the events / shows happen. when people search for clubs, most likely they with search with the seattle name in it.

seattle is where it all happens... but obviously the club with have members who arent from seattle.

just think of it as seattle being the head office, or central meeting place

Not that I own a Scion yet, (tC isn't out yet, sheesh)I voted for Team Kaizen. Toyota is known for being the leader in Lean Manufacturing, as can be seen in the cost of the Scions. I only know about that crap 'cause I work in a machine shop which is slowly (very slowly) converting to lean manufacturing.

Aside from the history lesson, I just think it sounds cool, not bland in any way, and quite original. Though I think that it'd be better for an independant team, not necessarily a Scion chapter.

It looks like a final club name has been chosen.

Sorry to me and my one supporter but club kaizen is out :cry:

A more nutral and direct name will be used... but that's all I'll say for today.

ok so I am dredging up old stuff since I am really bored today. So I thought I pull a steve. :rofl:

Does anyone remeber this, when we were all trying to figure out what to call the new car club?

This was the fun time befor it all started to much and life was much simpler :rofl:

It feels like yesterday and yet so long ago.

And so many new faces and a few old friends still left on here. Scion is just fun

Ok as mentioned in another thread...

What other thread???...Did I miss something?

no it is ok. I was just dredging up the old archive files for the fun of it and saying remeber when? It was a long time ago and I do not even remeber the old thread it was attached to.

I just remeber how fun this was and how many actual imputs there were and it was even pre tC, it was the begining of a great comunity

Oh...I see...I was confused. I didn't notice this was an old thread.

LOL it is ok it is just fun sometimes to show off the older things we did to show how far that we have come now

I don't get it... what club was this? Is this pre-SE and pre-Skicotics and pre-everything else?

And what is a Kaizen?

These old threads are pretty neat... I imagine a lot more neat for those who were here back then. I see names I've never seen before and am impressed to know that some of you have been here for a very long time!

Kaizen is the Toyota motto roughly meaning "constant improvement".

Now can we let the dead lay in peaceful rest or not? :P

hey now this was a good thread and look at how much good has happened since then.

And besides it is always nice when it brings out the FOTH, I miss ya man

:silly: I'm just playing...

Well seeing as you miss me, I'll do my best to make my presence known again soon.

How about NW Sciontologists
