Default SA & Avondale Toyota's ONE HUGE Mistake

I know everyone is impressed with Scion Independence this past week-end but, in the interest of being open and honest (in the tradition of the Scion process), I'd like to point out one MAJOR foul-up they made.

Why didn't they build a new indoor facility for this? That was all they needed in order to take this event up a notch. Either that or come up with a mod that controls weather. Maybe Randode should start working on this one for next year? RMS and Mooneyzs could lend their fabrication and engineering talents. Let's go guys! Room for improvement is there!

Really though. Great job to Avondale Toyota and the people of Scion Apocalypse. The hard work SA put into this, and the support A-T gave to them for it, was very evident all the around the event.

Thanks for setting the bar up there and giving everyone else something to shoot for!

It was done intentionally Mark. People don't remember the common or easy things in life. Having a good time at a daytime car show in Phoenix in July is neither easy or common.

Everyone will now remember Avondale Toyota/Scion and ScionApocalypse for a very long time.

He wasn't inside, he doesn't work at Avondale anymore. He came to the show for a while though. Thanks for coming Mark.

Awesome show.

next time make the roll in at 530, show starts at 6. It felt like the temp dropped 30 degrees when the sun went down.

I was shocked to see 6-7 cali plates! Thanks for the drive over ladies

You Scion owners also raised $2500 for charity, split between the Foundation for Blind Children (http://www.seeitourway.org/), the 100 Club of Arizona (http://www.100club.org/), and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (www.jdrf.org). Those three charities do great work and are very important to our members.

Nobody made a mistake at ScionIndependence.

Thanks for the input! That's what we would like to hear, how can we make it better?.
We have talked about that too. It was a little warm to us that live here, I couldn't imagine you peeps that came from out of state that have never had to deal with that. That's the reason you saw me walking around checking on the vendors and show-go'ers that day. Thanks for making the trek out once again!

probably nothing, Mark's as goofy as me sometimes. He was probably having fun typing intials and couldn't stop.
