Our address is 470 Schillinger Rd S Mobile, AL 36695 so you can get mapquested. I can also call a few hotels and see about a group rate if enough people are interested.

I wouldn't say "fearless"... as always, I'm nervous about everything, but I've taken all those comments, criticisms, and smiles into consideration for this one and its looking like a good show!

I didn't say that's what I needed, I said that's what I'll get. Besides, I'll be at 4:30pm the night before and I'll get to sleep from 5:00am till about 8:30 am the day of the event, then drive 3 hours to see ya'll, then stay up for another6 or so hours with ya'll, drive another 3 hours home, then go to sleep again.

Anyone interested in staying that night in a local hotel? If I can get enough people down for it, I can get a real good rate pretty close by.

Ok here is the schedule:

12pm - start registration
2pm - close registration
3pm - judging to commence
5pm (or so) - prizes
dusk - lightshow (courtesy of your Scions)
7pm - high tail (I will be leaving with ya'll )

We are planning on serving dinner once our budget gets approved, but lunch will be ya'll's deal. We have a few decent places within walking distance (and if you want to test drive a vehicle to another place, I'm sure a sales associate would love to get out of there for a while too )

If this schedule has flaws, please let me know. I am all about making this a great thing for everyone!

Don't tell my wife that. If you have a Prius on the lot, she will definately be stealing it as long as possible.

Actually we have 2 Scions right now... that's it. 2. Dos. Two times one. They are still selling at a muy rapido rate. We should be getting a large Scion shipment between now and then, so the number on the lot will be anyone's guess.

Until this show becomes more of a "tradition" around here, we shouldn't expect a Palmer's Show Scion anytime soon either. I would freak out if given the opportunity to design that bad-boy.

But Sir, everyone else is doing it. Team Toyota even has their own auto-x car.
That's what I told my manager when I was working at a toyota dealership. He then let me take one of each and do whatever I had wanted to them to put on the showroom floor. We kept all three models for about 2 days.

Fazoli's, that is a great place. Decent prices too. I got an idea. Along with the prizes at the end, how about doing raffles at different times of the day and give out little door prizes. It got kinda boring just sitting around for like 6 hours. Also, how about get somebody out there to be a concessionist. If money is tight, it'll be ok because he can just sell whatever he decides to make. He could get some nachos or hotdogs, just something small. Pull the popcorn machine outside. That way the people that don't feel like leaving the show or spending alot of money, don't have to.

I cant wait to see what everybody had done to their rides. Hopefully I can get everything done to mine that I want to before the show. It's hard working on my car with 2 jobs.
