Scion Night @ Halloween Haunt

Yesterday, me and my coworkers all went to the Scion Event at Knott's Scary Farm. The deal is, the first 2000 Scions that arrive get in for free (including all belted passengers) and they have a giant show all day until the park opens at 7. So we all met at Applebees at 930 in the morning and drove down. We werent allowed to wait in line until 1 so we decided to go down to Huntington and eat fish tacos. The air was so clear and dry from the Santa Ana winds, you could see Catalina perfectly.
Anyways, we drove back around 1230 and they let us in. It was insane the amount of Scions driving around Buena Park. There were thousands of them everywhere you looked. Parked at gas stations, driving the streets. Even when we left Walnut i saw more than i normally saw. There were people trying to get in all day.
We all hung out at got food and partied in the parking lot and even my old coworkers from Barros were randomly parked a car away from us. It was fun seeing all of the different xBs and tailgating all day and blasting music.
Later more of our coworkers came down that didnt own Scions after it got dark and we all had a blast going on the rides, the mazes and getting scared all night.

I'm bummed this is the last year they are doing this event but I'm glad I got to go at least once.

here are some pictures i found on the forum i use. I didnt take them but its basically what our day was like.

That's awesome! I'm glad you got to go even though it was the last time. I think it's interesting how certain cars develop 'cult followings' and some don't. I don't know how it is with xB owners, but most other Sami owners will give me a wave when we see each other driving :)

seriously! i know there are a couple of xB imitators on the market but i think the xb has a strong following. and i dont even own a sammy but i still feel like giving a thumbs up to people driving around in them. they have a lot of character.

oh i forgot to mention, when we were leaving, we found a big scion banner on the ground by a tree. you can see the same one hanging above the street in the first picture i posted, but mine is black. i didnt realize until i got home that its like 10 feet long! it looks so awesome in my bedroom :)
