Over 700 people in over 200 cars made it out to show their love for Scions at Scion Exposed 5.0 in Orlando. The event welcomed both Scion owners and enthusiasts. “Enthusiast” is a term for those who don’t own Scions but want them desperately (like me). At the event were games, live music, food, contests, prizes and special guests like Troy Sumitomo, owner of the automotive design studio, Five Axis and creator of the Scion FUSE concept vehicle.
Sumitomo also brought along his xA Speedster, a modified Scion xA that can raise its hood and allow the driver to plug in a gaming steering wheel so you can play Xbox 360 racing games from the drivers seat! You can also play on one of two rear-facing monitors that come out of what once was the trunk.
The Scion owners at the event entered various competitions with cash prizes up to $2,500. Door prizes also went out to those attending and included a set of Pirelli tires, first generation Kenstyle body kit for Scion xA or xB, a custom beach cruiser bicycle painted by DuPont Hot Hues, Guitar Hero III for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™), an iPod Nano, and a GPS/Navigation system.
The whole deal was hosted by Southeast Toyota Distributors.
Their Scion Exposed events in the southeastern U.S. have drawn Scion enthusiasts from as far as
Quebec, Canada! Other events present at
this year’s Scion Exposed was an
Xbox 360 and PS3 gaming competition sponsored by GameStop; paper airplane
contest for children; an artist (Preston Farabow) creating a sculpture from
Scion parts; and a vintage P-51 Mustang from World War II performing areal acrobatics.
Awesome! :-)
