Some people help build a house for charity, others donate money, but Scion Freaks are a whole different story. Hence the brilliant idea otherwise known as "xB Build Off."
The Scion brand is all about unity and continuing keeping the brand as a family, not as a money hungry manufacture. So Southeast Toyota (SET) decided to put together a charity event slightly different than the norm. "Scion Pros vs. Club Joes" is the theme and in essence two completely stock Scion xBs were given to two teams with a 'small wager of money' (considering the style of builds they constructed). The object is to build two xBs that will travel and be displayed at various events to show a different side of Scion, "the grassroots side" and eventually be auctioned off with all proceeds going to charity.
To many people this looks like the run of the mill event in which Scion is just trying a different approach to sell cars, but to a Scion owner (especially a Scion Freak) this is an opportunity to bring together Owners and Freaks alike to let their creative skills run wild all the while bringing their Scion family closer together.
For the Scionpros you have: Ivan Garneff and Steve Saporito
Clubjoes: Brant Good and David Hickman
If you really like what you see you can text a vote to 83895 and in the body include "Joes" (Bike rack xB) or "Pros" (Surfer xB)
Members of both teams have greatly contributed to the Scion community and plan to continue creating the path for others to follow. Just as an example: the xBs and some money were provided but the time that was put into these two rides was not. All hours that were put into these two builds were volunteer, members from various Scion car clubs were called in to help as well.
Just goes to show, the next time you see a Scion commercial or speak with a Scion owner and think they may be a little "freakish," that is a small taste as to why......
