about it being rigged I would say no. Unless there is a contest where EVERYONE wins there are going to be haters.....i just hope Scion doesn't take offense to it and all you people that didnt win never have a chance to win again cuz the events are shut down.

But it's Scion's money so they do what they want with it. If they wanted certain people to go, then it's their perogative...

Oh, that's right, the forum that we all get to see and drool over, but couldn't post in?

A bunch of non-winners posted... maybe they were Mods and allowed to post in there though... but then again, Ive seen a bunch of posts by non-winners in the Miami Lounge...

Personally, I know two people who went. One works at a Scion dealership and the other is the President of a car club. One of them didn't even enter the contest, but still won somehow. Whatever though.... life goes on.

but thats my opinion

shoot, i aint elite, neither were a few people i met. it can be argued to some extent, i guess. but from what i saw. nah.

Scion put up BIG money for this, just for rooms alone.

my room was $700+ a night O.O oh the club presidents, mods weren't considered actual winners, even though they got to go, they didn't stay in the Loews with us they stayed at the double tree, they all got to go because of the work they put in to make this site, and the clubs run smoothly and to get a break from all of this, now quit complaining about not winning the event is over
