Was this an open event? I wish I would've known about this. =[

Mr. Tada was kind enough to sign my dash last night. Very nice and humble gentleman. Lucky to have met and talked with him in person. Thank you @moto-san

My guess is that he's in town for the LA Auto Show.

Wish I knew about this. The one day I wasn't doing anything... lol

Moto says Tada-san was in town to talk to the folks at Toyota USA HQ. ANyway, it was an impromptu event that happened last night.

Here's images from JDMZipties: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...5860617&type=3

Here's a picture I took of Tada-san signing an owner's dashboard.

Got mine signed too

Nah, didn't hear a thing about it. Only found out this morning with this thread. Pretty cool though. Wish I could've had my dash signed.

Wish I knew too... I only found out last night through Instagram last night.

I would've driven out there so quick, I even bought my car from Longo lol.

Calidrifter · 12-05-2012, 02:39 AM

I got him to sign my Tour of L.A. itinerary/directions...yes I still had it in my car.

See things like this bug me.. Not so much this perticular event.. As it seems that it was last minute and all.. But scion seems to drop the ball on a lot of stuff that enthusiast would want to be apart of..

Being big in the bike scene and a member of gixxer.com and suzuki fan page, I hear about events all the time.. Met Ben spies and mat maladin, Valentino Rossi and Marco, and Edwards.. All because of forums and Suzuki.. I met the guy who designed the last gen GSXR models along with one of the original designers of the first GSXR 750..

I don't stand in line to get any mans autograph.. Ever.. Not any of those men just a personal thing I guess.. But I'd have Tada-San sign that and clear coat it in a heart beat.. Like have a carrol Shelby signature or something..

But being as this perticular car was made for enthusiast I'm just shocked about how much I hear of events after they happen.. Like the scion drive to sema.. It rolls through my backyard.. And I don't hear about it.. It was a invite only thing I guess... But why.. Why not have anyone that has a FRS be welcome to cruise along.. I guess I'm just spoiled from Suzuki, I already have my list of who is going to be at the motorcycle show in la this weekend and the times..

Also I'm just ranting.. I doubt even if I heard of this last minute I would've drove the 2 hours or whatever to meet the guy.. Still looking forward to the scion cruise to the net
