I'd be willing to install them on the winner's cars if the Elmhurst Toyota will put them on a hoist. Takes about 5 minutes per car.

all the exhausts 'winners' (tC, xB and xA) will be randomly chosen.
no raffle tickets to purchase for this -- just four lucky persons

still, bring your money and buy some s/c raffle tickets!

I heard from one of our SolaraGuys that one of the Scion tCs coming from the show had a terrible accident on 290 Eastbound. Any word on the driver or car?

If I get any info, I will forward it. Hopefully this person is alive and well. Cars can be replaced.

I'm not sure if this person was at the Elmhurst show, but our deepest condolences go out to the Stewart family and their friends. I hope this tragic incident is a reminder to us all to wear seatbelts.

Just a heads up for the 2007 Elmhurst Illinois show:

I recently left the company that was making the TRD exhaust for the Scion tC so I could return to school full time.

So I will not be able to donate another two Scion tC TRD exhaust systems at the 2007 show. It was a lot of fun getting to talk to the Scion owners and then see their faces when they pick up their prize. Scionlife and ScionEvolution members really rock!

I will be there again next year (except without my lowered red gen2 Solara. - It was a company car) Instead I'll be parking my RX-8 across the street. LOL

See y'all next year!
- Brian
