I wish I would have gotten pictures, but I know thre are plenty of other people who got pictures for sure.

As far as everyone that attend, it was awesome to see you all there and it was good event to be part of. Even though some of us got split apart from each other it was all good because we all ended up at the same place in Cypress.

I was gonna announce to everyone but didnt get the chance because I was leaving when everyone was apart, but to tell you the truth it for my last scion event i had fun being able to see everyone and I had fun. I thank all of you for the fun times and to good memories. During the drive it hit me that I wont be part of these events anymore in my own Scion and it kills me to not be able to be at all these events. I will probably come out to some events with some of my friends but it will not be the same. I will for sure have real good memories from all the shows I have been to, the meets that I drove out to, for sure cant forget Scion United, and I wont forget this cruise. I will miss being apart of these events and maybe later down the line I can get a go back to a Gen1 or something, but I will for sure come back around. I thank god for being able to have introduced me to all of you because all of you are kick butt people for sure and I would never take this all back. Scion has the best enthusiast then anyy car brand out there. I gonna miss you all!

it was nice seeing you again Daniel, will will be missed. i could tell it hit you sometime during the drive down to cypress that this will be your last scion cruise, but i know just like i said to you at the dealership, you will be back probably sooner than you think, i have always had good times talking with you where ever we were, that will be missed, take it easy and we will see each other soon....

 

It was very nice to see and meet all you guys !! i had a blast Thank u for a great time to all that made this event possible!!

Look forward to next year's event...

IMO..maybe if so next time we can make it a A toy Drive "toys for tots" and get CHP assistance and car show at the end with the support of Scion corp....

 

Some of the guys on the cruise were talking about ways to make it better and I'm gonna start checking to see if the CHP would be down for some type of trade off with us donating like a $10 dollar toy and or just $10 to their charity TOYS 4 TOTS and see if they would be willing to give us an escort for our donations.

lessons learned from the 1st annual cruise:

try and avoid L.A. streets as much as possible
make sure we have sufficient parking at beginning location/end location
And try to establich a police escort.

Next cruise will be A LOT better and much smoother I promise that. it can only get better from here

 

Hey I had a great time! took some pics:
