PLEASE CONTACT MARSHALL AT eight08bids@aol.com or call him at 753-2938 if you have any questions!!! i won't be able to make it, unfortunately, as i'll be out of town.

 

Lets call it the 1st annual Scion XB Lunch Box Run Thats just a sugestion. LOL

 

hey, i like that. i'll change the name right now.

 

sounds like fun! count me in! :D

 

would be fun on a sunday, sundays are a kickback day. saturdays are too hectic for me.

 

same here. if it's on a sunday, i'm down.

 

hi everyone, seems like sundays work best, although only a few people voted. heh. i thought it would be nice to stop off at the dealership sometime during the run, but i just found out that they're still closed on sundays!

let's start planning the route! any suggestions? i was thinking like 1/2 a day of driving or so...start in the morning around 8 or 9 am.

 

8 or 9 in the morning, i'm still looking at my pillow over my face?!?!?! but i guess i could make that effort to get up a little early. as for a route, i don't know where to go. i just go to work and come home.

 

Haha, I can sympathize!

We could stop off at Starbucks before we start it up, for all the caffeine addicts... (like myself ) as for a route, I don't know... maybe through Alamoana beach park to show off the "New Breed", and Waikiki, and we could push our way around other populated areas, like Kahala Mall side, HI Kai, pass Hanauma Bay, and Blow Hole, around to the Windward side...

Doesn't matter to me, it'd just be nice to get up and out on a lazy day like Sunday and go anywhere.

 

based on the handful of responses, it looks like the drive will happen on a sunday. more details to follow this week.

 

Heres a sugestion for route.

Meet at Scion or maybe Jamba Juice at the airport?

Make our way through the Pali

than go through waimanalo

than stop at Sandy beach

than head over the hill and and take a cruise through Kahala Mall

than head up and over Diamond head stop thre if parking permits us
than though Kuhio Ave making our way to Ala moana center. than the beach if theres parking there we can stay there. If not

Make our way to Aloha towers than to Keihi lagon park whre there alot of parking there.

 

how long you think that run will take? or will we be done by lunch? or should this take us till about 3 or 4 maybe even 6 in the evening? just trying to get an estimate on time. maybe slide in a few more stops? is there any where to stop on the windward side?

 

I dont know how long. but lets see that T thinks about it? were should we stop at the windwardside if not we can go up H3 and stop at windwardmall or somthing

 

hey marshall, thanks for the suggestion. meeting at the jamba juice airport lot will probably be a good idea considering there's lotsa parking! or even meeting at keehi lagoon.

i'm fine with that route...i just thought it would be nice to start at 9 am and be able to stop for lunch around 12 or 1 pm (someplace with lotsa parking) and then start heading back to town. of course, people who wanna continue on can lengthen the run.

keep the suggestions coming. i'd like to finalize the route and info by the end of the week so we can spread the word!!

 

windward mall sounds cool too. then i can run in check out prototype for some new music and see if kavet is working and bug the hell out of him. (kav's the fella who put that urban sk8 event together at the scion grand opening) ok that's a little extreme can't abandon ya folks on the cruise.

start at jamba juice (well my wife will like that idea, ain't a big fan of overpriced drinks, get me a supersize diet and that's good to go)

head towards the airport, jump on h-1 go to h-3

jump off the kaneohe exit get on to kahekili

turn on that street to windward mall. take a short break, bathroom time if anyone needs it.

get back on the road, get on kamehameha head towards kailua.

can go either kaneohe bay drive or go to pali and go to maunawili way to kailua

get on to kalanianaole (spelling?) head towards waimanalo. stop off at jack in the box in waimanalo in case we get split up and can regather?

head towards sandys, take another breather there

head towards town, ok this part not to sure? cause there's 10 million ways to go? any suggestions?

 

kuhio ave bad idea lots of road work to harsh and diamond head to much cars on the weekend sandys is kool good photo-op

 

places with wide open parking lots for photos are great!
i'm a little worried about big hills as 108hp doesn't haul much a$$. but then again, we are on a leisurely drive.

keep the suggestions coming.

who wants to lead the drive?!

 

i will pass on the lead, especially with my front all zebra looking (scraped several times going in or out of driveways). i need to get it painted or look for another front spoiler. and it doesn't help i reversed into some lady who could not park in the lines properly today. i got 2 black eyes on my rear bumper. hey my box looks like a backwards zebra now

 

what about hitting the north shore side? or is that too long for the first cruise?

 

Yea but if we have 20 108 HP Scions we have 2160 horses all together and we can just push each other up the hill. LOL
