Scion APA Event

Yesterday, I attended the APA Scion Event at Toyota Headquarters.

It was a small event catering to Asian Americans that work for Toyota. Being a part of the Asian American Society, I participated in an autograph session and helped out Scion with free give-aways. It was an extremely small event but a good turnout. It's amazing to see how much Toyota is involved with making their employees feel special.
The food was pretty good too! They had Korean BBQ ribs and macaroni salad.

As you can see, it was not like a normal drift event crowd. Most of the people were older-aged, Toyota employees. All very nice people =)

One display car that caught my eye was this HAKO coupe. Apparently, the Toyota Japan Design studio designed this car as a concept car. Its all electric, including the steering. It kind of resembles a rat-mobile doesn't it?

Inside the Scion show room, the T2B was on display as well as a few other custom one-off cars.

I also had the great chance to drive the infamous Scion xB DJ car from the display area back to the Scion Building.
This little mean xB is riding on air. I got to play with the air suspension!! It was much fun.
