sign of the times. I frequent the cali forums more than here. anyway, I believe Scion did okay, they had one of each model there. good idea if you ask me. and what about free stuff?! I got a keychain. i mean, is this all it's about anymore is free stuff from Scion? can;t we just support the company fro awhile and help them along till the economy clears? then we can have free stuff again. it's time to stop being conceited about free stuff.

yea m3's were last year's tc's :-p.

not gonna lie i think this was the best HIN i've been too. alot of cars i'd never seen before and a ton of spectators. just think they should've been a bit more choosey on some of the cars ( i was stuck next to a stock saturn lol)

congrats Jim on best driven scion

Yeah the times are tough, I still expect to get some cool stuff after driving 2 1/2 hours and blowing all that money just for parking and a ticket to get in...not to mention how much it was for some nasty miller genuine draft and a hamburger.

But anyway, yeah it was a good time. I saw the black r34 and silver r33 driving afterwards.

ya dude with way economy is dont expect much free stuff; and parking usually is alot higher than what they charged there ( i was charged $12 to eat at mcdonalds downtown after the show). and mgd was ur first problem and hate to say the food was cheaper than last year ($5 water and $5 cans of beer last year and $4 hot dogs). but its a show venue, its to be expected like when you go to sports games and its $7 beers, $6 hot dogs, ect.....

hey jim are you doing HIN Columbus?

i couldn't agree more about the rims on Joeys gtr. Tenzo's just dont belong on there. John's Gts-T has def gone down hill it seems. I remember it back when it was yellow w/ the high mount wing on it. Oh well to each their own right? Sounds like John is bringing out that black one and then his rhd fairlady Z aswell. we'll see though.

Hey my car was at that tent....

and I did put one of each model around the tent. It's not about how many freebees we can get from scion, it's about going out and having fun. Just like you did after the show.. you cruised around the city for about 2 hours and had fun right?

LIke JIM said, so I wont repeat it all over again..

I was told they would only be allowing certain Scions in the show.
As a matter of fact, this is what I was told by Dan.

Everyone who had interest in going, was going to have their car's picture/info submitted to a third-party to vote if they liked the car or not.
And in the end only the top voted cars would be able to show at HIN.

That's complete horse shiitt.

I don't know if that actually happened or not, but regardless, in my opinion HIN seems to be going down the drain as well as the economy.
