Alaska's First Scion Club

Right on, Drew! That's exactly what we need, because the dealership can just tell people about us when they come to pick up their cars, or when they come in for service. We'll have to give them some photos and such of our cars. Hopefully, that will help them with sales, because people will see how happy we are with our rides.
On a related note, there's a guy who works in town that bought a box! I saw him a couple of times around town, but wasn't able to catch up with him until a couple of days ago at the grocery store. He said he loved his box, but he didn't seem to keen on the car club idea. I gave him our website and my phone number so we could talk more if he wanted to, but we'll just have to wait and see.
And MuNkY: What's the problem you had with this dealership? We've all got some contacts there if you want to talk to someone. Remember that it will cost a lot of money to ride the ferry or have your car shipped up from Seattle, and driving through Canada won't be an option for much longer this year. Seriously, let us help you out with your dealership issues. I'm not on their side or anything -- I actually bought my xA in Florida! -- but i do want to make sure you don't spend a dollar more than you have to on your car.

Have you ever been down there? the service is absolutely horrible, i went down there on three different times with money, ready to order and put a down payment on my scion. i got the run around from 3 different salesmen on one occasion who didnt know squat about the scions. and another time, a salesmen pretty much told me i "wasnt serious" about buying so he wouldnt even help me. i was like wtf? and the third time i went down there nobody even helped me, didnt even acknowledge that i was in the dealership.
like i said before, i wont be ordering from them, even if i have to pay more to get it up here. Scion of anchorage can kiss my ___.
edit: i ended up buying a used one in town from my buddies down at Affordable used cars because of scion of anchorage's lack of knowledge, and stupid salesmen.

Absolutely! Come on out with the rest of us; it should be a good time! It's good to see a new face, too. Tell us a bit about yourself!
Sunday is good for me, as well. I'll be driving up from Valdez thta day, so as long as there's time for me to get there safely and drive it through the Laser Wash, I'm happy.

All -- I'd prefer a later start time, say around 6 pm. That will give me plenty of time to drop my things off at the Army base and get the car washed before meeting up with you guys. How does that sound to you guys?
And as for dinner...I'm very open to suggestions. Do we want someplace to get a cheap, quick meal, or do we want a nice, sit down dinner-type thing?
MuNkY and superbill: You're the new guys, so you'll both have to be there!
