We are getting a bigger following in the western part of Idaho it seems, its sort of a Spokane/Coure Da Lene(?) thing, big show in July at Silverwood amusement park.

Downhillspec and I just got back from north Idaho where my family lives and the best way to describe the scene there is growing. With the right motivation and a little cultivation it could happen. We went to the meet and greet in Spokane and it was awesome we had a great turn out and an amazing time I LOVE north Idaho and if/when we decide to buy a house we may look that way... you never know. I wish I could live out there now but it just wont happen.

I don't know jack about south Idaho.

Wow. I miss punctuation.

One thing I've learned from SL is that wherever there are people and cars, there is a community- some really awesome people on SL are from allll over, so don't count anything out.

Dam... I wonder if it will pick up sometime.
I would hate to move there and be one of the only custom Scions in that area. I know my wife is looking more towards the south area like twin falls, gooding etc.

Will do, thanks for the info...

Do you think there is a calling for a custom paint shop or is that a far fetched thing also?

i think custom paint shops are always needed... especially good quality at decent prices .... or at least one that will kick screeming deals to fellow owners ;) ;) ;)

well i would say it could be but i think there will not be much buisness there for it because not to many people have custom paint jobs unless you are going to try to convince the rednecks down there to finish painting there 4x4 LOL
