I HATE cameras, but it's her car, so most of the attention was on her (she and her salesman Paulie had to wear mics the whole time). Lot's of interviews and camera attention for her, I tried to avoid and just take pics, until Scion asked me to do an on-camera interview as well. Kinda nervous about that, I'm betting I didn't give them any footage to use!

About a month ago, we were contacted by a Regional Director for Scion about setting a date for a release party and we were given a "media release form" that we had to sign to consent to being filmed and miked. We set the date the earliest we could, May 16th, based on when Scion expected the car to arrive here in Las Vegas. The car arrived much earlier than expected, on the 2nd, but we had to wait due to the coordination required between Scion and Desert Scion of Las Vegas - our chosen dealership. We had an out of state trip planned for the week prior to the 16th anyway, so we kept a positive attitude about having to wait. Well the date has finally come, and although I wanted to share our experience and get these pictures up last night, we've just been having too much fun driving and showing off! Event was great - good music, good food, great people from the local Scion Club, fellow forum members, and Scion corporate guys!

Congratulations!!! Awesome pics of your white FRS. Best photos I've ever seen of that color....and the scenery and all....spectacular! Thanks for sharing. Really nice treatment from the Toyota/Scion folks to make it special for you guys! Driving impressions??? When ya'll get a chance to share. We need to know if Sho is pleased with performance, likes it better than the xB, etc.???

Stunning, simply stunning. I'm getting so jealous of all that have received their car at this point. I'm starting to get extremely frustrated with my scion dealership. I have not heard once single effing word from them since I made my deposit, seems like I went to the worst possible dealership ever.

Enjoy your car though man, it looks brilliant.

bestwheelbase · 05-18-2012, 12:56 AM

Congrats!

Your photos captured the action of the event very well.. and those scenery shots are just incredible. You two definitely know the good roads in your area!

We love what Sho did with her t-shirt -- so creative! She is the first person to customize something from bestwheelbase. Rock on with yo bad self!

Lol so that's why you were always off to the sides.

Great shots on location dude, glad to have met you guys at the event!
