No not really. However if you start going to Scion VIP events they just give you the stuff. I got tons of shirts, hats, even scored a Colmen tent with the scion logo on it.

you got a freaking colman tent with a scion logo to?! OK I really want to buy that hook me up lol jk. But EJ tell me more about these vip events and what you can/have got.

Here is the place to go for scion VIP events

www.scionvip.com

basically they hold VIP events all over the the USA. Check there website for were they are going to be. In fact there is one coming to MA at the sixflags there. Its called scion dream night. They are taking 400 people. Basically you register and if they pick your car your in. Most events don't fill up so they take everyone that registers but some do fill up. So scion dream night consists of a car show in the parking lot and free diner, with plenty of free swag. Then after night fall when they close the park to regular guests, they are opening the park to the 400 scion owners and their guests. Thats right, the only people in the park for the night are Scion owners.

I just double checked to see whats going on and I found that their is another show in October in NJ. So I will probalby register for that.

You get all kinds of things. Key chains, Hats, flipflops, T-shirts. The camping tents were for the campout. There will be another one next year so keep a look out for it. The events are always 100% free to everyone that is accepted, this includes food and drinks as well.

Ok I just looked into the NJ VIP. I can't go because of the date. But here is the list of what you get.

"Invited owners will receive:


Admittance for owner and a guest to Formula X event
Classroom instruction by professional racers
On track instruction with professional racers
Participation in a Scion VIP-only car show category
Catered lunch in the Scion VIP lounge
Free gifts and more "

I don't see anything for the Midwest - one for Colorado a year ago (which I consider CO to be more West anyhow), but nothing else. Apparently you have to be on the Coasts to be of any interest to Scion.

Well what you need to do is start sending messages to Urbanracer and let him know your ineterested. Maybe he can help suggest what needs to be accomplished to get events in the midwest. As long as you can drum up interest with other owners they will definatly create events for them.

I think you can sign onto them for email updates so you don't miss out.
I usually know about them in my area before they are posted, just because I happen to know some people, that know some people, that know whats going on in the scion world.

Thanks! Karma for the help!

For those that want to see the Tent here is a link to the photos from the camp out. I may take a better one of my tent later.

I love the tent just because it fits my whole Surfer life theme of being outdoors and camping, surfing ect.

 

[eviljack]

Wish I could get you one, but they were real strickt about a 1 tent per scion policy. We had a campout this saturday night with just a few friends, nothing club related. However we all had attended so we all set up our scion tents. was pretty cool.

 

[race4lastplace]

i sent them an email, but do they offer anything near Ky? Id like to participate for sure!

Scion VIP does alot at the shows for the owners for sure. I have been to about 5 of them in different states and all of them have been great. They do some great giveaways and really take care of us. I give them a big thumbs up for sure.


What size shirts to do you wear? I will look and see what I have. They normally do not have the size that I wear. So I grab one for my wife. Most the time they stay hung up in the closet and never get worn. So let me see what I have.

 

[TartanJack]

As none of the VIP events are within 5-6 hour drive for me . . .
I'd LOVE to know more about them.

(Also, I have yet to see any xB2 stuff anywhere besides ebay.)


Oh, I wear XL shirts . . . :naughty:

Actually, I did email and ask a couple of days ago if there were any plans for hitting up the Midwest with more events. But usually when I pester groups for such, I get the answer "We have no plans for a tour/signing/comic/concert event in the Midwest at this time. Thank you for your interest! Our next event is in New York City! Why don't you join us there!"

Soooo, I really don't place much stock in such. We just get shafted because there's this ongoing belief that all us hide out in corn fields, shoot at trespassers and get swept up in tornados all the time. So why bother with ad campaigns or concerts? :ranting:

Don't get me wrong - I love shooting at trespassers. But we like free stuff and concerts just as much as the next person.
