(Dont read if you dont wanna hear my opinion about the movie)

ok guys, I just got done watching the movie..and yes this is my opinion your about to hear. You might think differently but I would just like to express how I feel. I personally think this is the Worst one out of the four. It is the most corny and stupid movie I have ever watched..other then the Marine. The story dragged and the movie had little to do with cars. This is what you get when you hire a director that knows nothing about cars. After the movie..everyone started to boo and popcorn flew everywhere. Any who..I was not expecting to be amazed and I surely wasnt expecting this movie to do any justice for our community..however it was worst then I thought.

Anyways have fun at the meet and greet tomolo..at least you guys dont have to pay. Oh and I hated the music..

darn it i hate it how people keep missusing the word "then" it is an A not an E "thAn" NOT "thEn"

anyways the reason why i'll b going to c this movie is not because i think it will b good but it is sort of a tradition, me and my car buddies always go to c car related movies even if they are retarded

i have 0 expectations for this movie so i dont think i'll b dissapointed

So... about that police escort.
The Warrenville PD was certainly interested in what was going on.
I think there was a lot of confusion as to what was supposed to happen and when.

Hey, just wanted to thank everyone for coming out, we were very pleased with the turnout, and hope that everyone had fun! The Scion family keeps getting bigger & bigger and we've seen the growth over the years, very cool to see new faces & see the familiar ones & how their cars have progessed over the years. Shows like this are cool when even the old-school car business guys @ the dealership are like "Hey these ski-ons are kinda cool huh?" The whole community that Scion has really made the brand what it is today, and we owe that success to all of you, the owners, but enough mushy stuff.

As for the police escort, the Naperville Police Dept. told us to update them on the day of the show to coordinate times & locations for the escort; when we contacted them Friday morning, we were told that "due to economic budgetary constraints" they did not have any overtime available to provide a police presence for the show (although they apparantly had enough to give one of the showgoers a ticket for not having a front plate on the way to the theatre). So we kinda got screwed, so we had to just wing it as far as getting to the theatre, woulda been way cooler if we could've all gone in one big line, but eh, maybe the ecomomy will be better next time we do it

We'll be getting pics up either here or on the Scion of Naperville Facebook page early next week; but for now, we're tired, so we're gonna sleep out the weekend.

Thanks again!!!

sorry but the same guy that directed Tokyo Drift did this one too. the story just needed to be finished. enjoy it for what it is, a movie. it's just a movie....now thanks for the show. it was a really good tunrout and to think I almost didn't go. I felt bad for forgetting and getting in late. I was disappointed that I couldn't bring my xB this time but oh well. everyone could see my battle damaged xD. it's just a flesh wound.... I am surprised more peeps didn't get caught. I'm sure the cop radioed ahead for more free money.

And that R34 got a lot of peeps pumped. most didn;t know it was there. my JDM wife pointed that one out. I failed but wouldn;t build that car any other way. the new GTR makes me appreciate the old ones even more. they look so raw. newones are the businessmans' ride. too easy to drive.

yea whats your point..the director is Justin Lin and he knows nothing about cars. Read import tuner, they have an entire interview on him and he admits he knows nothing about cars. The only reason he took on Tokyo Drift was because he saw a video from one of his students on the documentary of street racing and it inspired him.

he did good with Tokyo Drift. thats my point. neither Vin nor Paul wanted anything to do with this movie. he pulled it off and those guys had a lot of say in what happened to the cars. it's amovie. just enjoy it. if not, then stick to indie films in French. thats all. I haven't seen it(FnF) yet so we'll see. point is you don;t need someone that knows something about cars to make a good movie about cars. look what happened to the first flick. it was a laughing stock! " I need NOS!" "No way' NOS isn't for amateurs!" whatever.

but you all went to see it whether you know it would be bad or not. we're all part of the scene and it wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for these movies.
