I am new to the Scion world and was wondering if there were any clubs near the Ft. Walton/Pensacola/Panama City Area. I didn't see any hits when I searched, but if anyone knows any clubs nearby I would love to know where. Thanks.

 

There are several, 10 in Bay County (just found out that figure today in fact) to be exact. Try logging on to Panhandlegearheads.com for starters. Hot Wheels is another (don't know how to get in touch with them).

The first friday of every month, downtown Panama City hosts a car show called Friday Fest. it's a pretty cool thing, and I'm working on getting my dealership more involved with that one, and anything else we can get involved in.

Just got back from the Emerald Coast Corvette Club show in PC, and we ended the event talking about a huge show up at a drag strip sometime this summer.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info...

 

there is a scikotics chapter up there...

check here

 

Hey L-Train...What's Up!

Those who seek...shall find what they're searching for!

Scikotics - ECC has the Florida Panhandle covered like sunshine...er, wait...I think that might be Alvin's Island theme song...

 

There are a bunch of us that just got an Emerald Coast Chapter of Scikotics rolling... Members are from Pensacola to Panama City. If anyone is interested in meeting some fellow scion owners from around the gulf coast...check out www.scikotics.com Emerald Coast Chapter

 

Another AF guy perhaps??? Eglin or Hurlburt?

 

I saw that you guys got together right after I left. How many people have you been having show up usually. I decided to keep my car after I saw the feature in HCI. Should have everything waiting for me when I get home in sep/oct. I'll make sure to look you guys up.

 

Hi THE-MACF,

My name is James (scionxb.org) and I am a Scikotics - ECC (Emerald Coast Chapter) member. We have a lot of things ongoing, with a official meet each month and gatherings...almost on a weekly basis!

The member you quoted is TOAST (redneck69) and he is really cool and knows a ton about the FWB scion crowd. I am actually in Panama City, FL myself.

Until he hits this post, feel free to look over our chapter website at... www.scikotics-ecc.com for a little more info about ECC. And of course if you decide to take a deeper look, check out the Official Scikotics Forum at www.scikotics.com, which you will need to join to look around since it is a private forum.

Nice to meet you!

 

I already checked out the ecc site. I recognized jpaulette. I see him on Hurlburt all the time. I know I tried to get some people together back in Jan or Feb and we had a few show up. It's nice to see someone take charge and keep it going. See you all when I get back.

 

Hell ya, if people are getting together I am down for whatever. I'm a scikotics member too, so far that seems to be our best resource for getting all of us Panhandle people together. Anyhow, if anyone wants to hang out with a bunch of xa,xb,tc, and xd's. hit me up! I'd love to join

 

LOL James, ME = TOAST... different screen name for my more unoriginal days. Never bothered to change it though... So you were right...I have already hit this post.

 

I'm pretty sure I've seen you running around. Does anybody know who drives the blacked out box? I think a female drives it.

 

yes you have probably seen me around, and i may have seen you. ill look and see if you have pics in your profile and if i recognize your xb. i usually stay on the east side of hurlburt, over by the BX, commisary. I don't go over to the west side very often.

 

Just look for the stock xb with the big ___ crack running across the windshield.

 

that doesn't exactly narrow it down much

 

Touche' Has anybody tried to deal with Quality Scion about their windshield?

 

wow, I totally fogot about this thread..lol..well I ended up with Scikotics and love it. The people are very helpful and friendly. And MACF I haven't had any probs with the windshield, but I don't have an xB either.

 

These xB windshields crack way too easy. Scion should be giving us new ones until they stop cracking. I mean really now...I have had different rides that were quite old with the SAME windshield in them...but come 2005 xBs have had like 7 windshields!

That is just plain WRONG...IMO.

When you call Quality Imports...ask for Lloyd and explain your case to him. He is a fair and reasonable man.

-peace

 

Thanks man, about 4 more weeks now and I'll be back and can start going to town on my car.
