Figured I would also take a moment for some shout outs of my own regarding this event:

Scott first and foremost, your event ROCKED! You have a good thing going and you know how to throw a show. You did a killer job and like I told ya, I took 5 , yes FIVE full pages of notes to take back to shows and builders here. Nothing but awesomeness came from that show. Also, thank you for the crash pad, tell your son i had a hard time going to sleep wihtout a bunch of Power Rangers (especially the red one cause he's the coolest) hanging out in the room.

Next:

Jon - Always good to see you. Its not everyday you get ot hang out with something of a Scion community ledgend, especially one who drives a crackerlac.

Stancil - You know, I'm still laughing about some stuff you said and I'm really glad we got to spend some time together. You re-inspired some passion for our craft that I forgot. Seeing you and your lights really was one of the coolest thing about this weekend. Oh yeah and jsut remembers, you are not doing the south any favors by continuing to consume 'generic carbonated grape drink' BLECH!!!!!!

Jeremy and Alicia - Flat out, loved both your cars. nothing really more to say other than you are cool people, I loved hanging out with ya'll and your cars are awesome!

Vince - heh heh.... that was the best road trip through an obscure road in a southern state i have ever had. Diet Coke and ranging walkie talkie anger for the win.

Alex - It sucks you, horberg, Jon and the others arent in my region cause we could use people like you. Thanks so much for the ride back to KC and ever more than that, the chat was great and the comapny was better than I could have asked. I hope you make it out here one day so I can return the hospitality.

Shayn - I still need a ride from the airport so whenever you can pick me up that would be great. i dont know what airline I'll be on but it will be one of three different ones..... yeah so if you could pick me up that would be awesome.

James/Scott/Shayn - consider me out of any games next year! It was too damn confusing! I bearely even knew where I was aor if I even existed!!!!!!! LOL

James - hey look another stock tC!

Levi and Levi's wife (sorry i forgot your name!!!) - Flat out no questions asked, the tuner community needs more people like you, more cars like yours and more people to see how you guys roll. Dont EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER change, dont let anyone change the way you guys are doing your car and know that that xB is one of the coolest things i have ever seen. If anyone disagrees with me, I will beat them up and give them the worst wedgie they have ever had until they agree......

To my new adopted club - Scinergyia rocks!!!!!!!!!! thank you for adopting me and makeing me feel welcome! I hope I can be your best satellite memeber ever.

To all the contestants in the glow off - remember, next time you think you have what it takes, a fat guy from washington might be standing next to your car asking about the Rave-ability and dancing like a moron. BE AWARE.

Rob W. - you roll so deep and so hard its amazing. get those fabrics done and your car is a HIN trophy contender. your car is so well thought out and the details are so perfect, you deserve any trophy you ever get. I hope more people take the time to look at your car and see it for all the little details you have. Also, here is a tip just for future reference..... dont give a drunk guy the keys to a flame thrower........ LOL LOL LOL

To everyone else: You guys do it so well and roll so differently it was awesome to meet all of you. I am so happy that i got to see how you guys do it. Your cars are awesome, your attitudes are great, I am truly blown away by your hospitality and how cool all of ya are!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dustin, thanks for the props. Thanks also for taking the time to care. It happens far less often than you might think and it takes a level of dedication that I almost never see.

Welcome to our club! We will work out a trip ASAP!

-Alex

 

Wow Dustin! You are a gift to Scinergy, and a huge asset to the Scion scene! You definitely have what it takes to make any situation upbeat and awesome to be a part of. I truly could of spent the whole weekend hanging around with you and laughing the whole time. So much that I may grab a flight someday, leave the Scion's behind, and join your Scion world for an event in your area. So fair warning!

I so appreciate your input, and great appreciation of what I have done, and where I'm going with my B.

Your list is such a reflection of the cool, gifted, excepting, friendly and awesome people the Scion scene has been graced with! Like my user name states with no regrets to leave the VW scene. No other brand has brought so many cool unconditional people together.

To One Love!

 

It does me good to get outside my box (literally and figuratively) everyonce in a while and see that the people are what makes this craft cool and special and that no matter what, there is someone who is passionate about something and to use and feed off their enthusiasm and learn from their triumphs and failures makes us all better. I'm beigning to learn that there are different cuts of 'car people' and they are in every group regardless of year make and model. What I am gaining the most out of is learning from and listening to and observing the people like the ones mentioned above and many others I met recently and didnt mention. There is something in most all of you that goes well above obsession or even passion. Its almost like a mentality. Accept others, learn from others, teach others, help everyone, give everyone a fair chance, protect those closest to you but keep your circle open. You guys this past weekend were awesome and I walked away hung over, exhausted, sore and smiling, laughing, relaxed, and over all I think a better person for having met all of you.

 

What's this salty stuff coming out of my eyes!??!

ONE LOVE!!

Love you guys, When's the next show up there Dustin? I'll make these guys caravan up with me!

 

I'm with you on that Scott. I'm so ready to hit that part of the country.

 

Gotta save our pennies, and I miss Seattle so much! I'll roll 4 to a car and split it up if need be! Heck I know a few guys up there we could crash on the floor! Anna and I went when gas hit 2.50 a gallon and hit KOA's the whole way up in my B and spent 12 days on the road, took our time and did everything we wanted to for less than $1,000 total including food and DMB tickets!

Is there a link for it somewhere?

 

Much Love Dustin!

You best be back for A.S.S.!

And just wait till you see my new display!

It's PURPLE!

I about snorted my mountain dew out of my nose when I read this! Post some warning next time, will ya!! Mountain Dew buuuuurrrrnnnnssss...

I would think Stancil would have this covered. Others have been seen "air glow-sticking" outside his vehicle.

 

"Air glow-sticking"

Are you referring to that one time at Sonic?

 

No names or times will be revealed. I'm sure I could be legally responsible for the results.

 

is it sexual?

 

I don't know how you do YOUR air glow-sticking!!!

 

I do it long and hard

 

whoa...

 

its true

 

Just wait till the next glow-off ;)
