Royal Palm Scion Show 7/26/09

With enough heat outside to fry an egg on the hood of a Scion tC, the throng of enthusiasts or "freaks" of scion owners prepare to show off their rides at another Scion show in Southeast Florida; this time you will find us at the Royal Palm Scion dealership. Some may think it is crazy to have two Scion shows in the span of two weeks right? Well this show had a kicker: cash pay-outs for not only club participation but for the "best-of" awards themselves.
There is only one word to describe this dealerships spacing for the show....HUGE. Each participant had the privilege setting up camp over two parking spaces with room for tents, displays, etc.
It was pretty obvious after you parked your vehicle and open the door to get out you were hit with a BIG sign from the Sun God warning you if you do not seek shade your skin will be crispy by the end of the show.
So as we are cleaning our cars and getting them ready for the almighty judges, more and more Scions just keep rolling in, there was even a participant who drove from Orlando and others from Ft. Myers. As if it was no better timing, after the cars are cleaned, the food and drinks roll out; not only that Rita's Italian Ice showed up and there was a giant 30ft water slide for all.
We cleaned, they judged, we all baked, but in the end this was definitely one of the biggest (roughly 50 participating cars) and overall best local scion show around to date. The competition was fierce, the select few got to take home cash money, and everyone got to enjoy karoke, baseketball tricks by Scion Expressionism and broke down dancing from a mascot that looked like he could be luigi's half-brother.
