Count me in. I have got all my mods done and ready to show off the hard work and see the hard work of others. Should be a good time. I will be there for a while unless we have a call and then I will have to run. See everyone there, hope it works out to get many there. At 2 now, hope we can get 6 or 8. :)

Count me in, I know there are a bunch of Scions around CR now that the TFS employees have mostly gotten theirs in There were like 15 xA's or xB's ordered too bad none of them seem to know about scionlife or have that much intrest in the community. There are two tC's here in CR too, a Flint mica and a BCP. saw the Flint Mica its an awesome car. Those are both TFS employees too, Gonna see if my wife can get some intrest going in the Scion community at work! I'll see if I can get more CR people involved.

There is one of every color except Camo here in the W'loo/CF area. Theres even a Hot Lava. But it also seems that nobody knows about this place, I'm yet to meet most of the owners, so maybee when I see them I'll let em know.

Not a word from Phatboy yet, He'll probably be there, that puts us up to 4 for sure. hey thats a good start figureing right now we are pulling just from people on ScionLife. There aren't a lot of us on here yet. I'm trying to spread the word, I know there are a bunch of Scions running around Iowa City and haven't seen anybody from there post yet. Give it time, we gotta get our name out around town and things will grow. We just gotta stay active.

Good to hear from you Phatboy. figured you'd be there for sure!

Oh by the way just got an estimate for my deer damage, $1020.00 to replace both the bumper and the lower skirt on the front of the box. When you see it sunday you'll see that you can hardly see the damage unless you know what to look for. Just don't want to risk any thing cracking worse or anything so I'm gonna get it fixed. Turned into a very expensive trip to KC. :cry:

oh and Otacon88 I think this meet will mostly be hanging out getting to know each other, and figureing out exactly which direction we want the club to go. Hope you can make it. The more the merrier.

I TOTALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

We have a 30% chance of rain on Sunday, but with the Super Target nearby, we have shelter. There is a Pizza Hut inside, and a Starbucks, so we have plenty of places to chill if we need to.

Got my drums and calipers painted, not gonna post pix, gonna make y'all wait to see it. :lol:

What would be the cost and such of sponsorship?? It may be a longshot because my dealership doen't traditionally do things like this, but if you give me some numbers and details I would be more than happy to ask the Wilsons if they would like to sponsor ScinergyIA. I could also ask the guys at Accurate Auto Trim (where both we and Toyota/Scion of Des Moines get most of our aftermarket customizations done) if they would be down with sponsorship.

Give me some data and I'll see what I can do. Also, remember to call me if you guys want stuff for the cars. Accessories are all sort of fixed on price and I can get myself fired and all for selling them cheap, but I would be happy to give you guys wholesale on any straight up parts you may need. Just call me up and tell me you're with the ScinergyIA club.

I think it is going to be about $100 or so for the website and then it would be nice to have the vinyl decals paid for also. I know that I must talk to about 5 people a week about my car, where I got it, and what it is. This would have to worth something to a dealership. I was going to talk to Toyota of DSM and see if they would sponser us, but if Wilson's want to them I would go for that.

But on a serious note, going in on the website would be cool, and I'd be down with decals, too. I'm sure you guys have a decal installer that we could work with on the club logo decals. I'm working on the design now.

BTW it was good to see all of you today, now I got a face to put with the names!

Just curious since I missed the last one. (But Chi-town was awesome!)
The pics look great! I can't believe only four people showed though.
phatboy- what ever happen with your xB down @ the Taste of DSM?
Did Toyota take care of you? I would hope so!
The logos are coming along great.
Has anyone checked out Broken Arrow for printing? They are located in Johnston.
I know that they have done some logo printing for me in the past on shirts and caps.
Anyways I would definitely like to meet everyone and show off our rides!

to answer these....
Possibly.
My car got scratched all to hell! Some punks used it as a stepladder!
They took very good care of it. Even gave me a free Auto Armor!
Didn't check them out, but my neighbor does vinyl graphics, and is supposed to be getting a plotter soon. Hopefully he can help us out.

How did your headlights work out?

Yes I got one a few weeks back, it looks like some coffee mug. Seems pretty, will never us it though. I was hoping to get a $50 gift certificate from Toyota Financial. I saw a thread that they were giving them to people that financed through them.
