How was the meet?

Meet was good we had 8 cars out. One was from a stealership that wanted 43k for a Rocket Bunny Kitted FRS. Food was good. They have a no loitering policy in the parking lot so after a while we were told to leave.

No turbo. They're charging 2k for an evo3 exhaust, 8k for the rocket bunny, and some other ridiculous numbers for the wheels and other things.

Was it the white Pat Lobb car?

Yes it was the McKinney dealer that came out with it. The mark up on the parts was pretty crazy. Only stayed with us for like 30 to 45min. Seems like he was meeting a potential buyer that came to Gas Monkey to look at the car. Not positive on that tho.

Where were you Sir? The organizer of the meet never showed.

Yeah dude, what happened? Oh well.
We did bring up the idea of a potluck for the next weekend meet. All I need is a head count and I'll make empanadas.

Joeprelude · 10-15-2013, 10:12 PM

Yeah, I fell asleep after work, didn't wake up until 3 am...

If we did that where would we go for it?

I heard someone mention a garage of sorts as the venue with a fanfare of oldskool cars.

Please let me know when the next meet up is I would like to bring some Scion stuff out!

Welcome to the Boards and congrats on the first post. It was nice to see a dealership that is willing to come out to these meets and participate. None of us were complaining about that. I thought that the car looked pretty awesome.

We all know how much the car costs and how much we can get most parts for. So lets look at the price on the Rocket Bunny kit, google search netted a price of about 3k from scionpro.com. Meaning that the dealership paid 5k in installation fee's? The weather striping that was put under the kit was unneeded (wasn't meant for it) and also it was put on with screws instead of rivets. So anyone with a screw driver and a little time could take it off the car. Then we have the Evo 3 Exhaust which is about $900(scionpro.com) meaning the installation price is $1100?? That's way off! Forgestar rims I didn't even look at the price listed on the sheet for it. But you can get a set of 18X9.5 for $1600 from a quick google search. Then tires and those have a good range of price depending on what you end up going with so I'm not gonna bother there.

Hence my use of "Stealership" as I personally think the price is outrageous. Do I think that someone will come along and purchase it cause of the way it looks? YES!

I did not mean to offend anyone with my remarks about the car or about dealerships at the meet if I did so. These are purely my views on the topic.
