It's free and you got to be 21 with a license to test drive.

The space is very limited at these events and by invite only. These events are mainly geared towards those in the market to buy a car, not current owners who have no intention of buying.

Oh wow. I registered for this event. If they are trying to use some sales pitch, i will strongly reconsider attending.

My family have been long term toyota owners since 1988.

1. 1988 Toyota Pick-Up (donated at 200K)
2. 1988 Toyota Camry LE (donated 180K)
3. 1997 Lexus ES300 (at 250K Miles)
4. 2003 GS300 Sport Design (at 30K Miles)
5. 2004 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab (at 60K Miles)
6. 2007 IS250 (at 25K Miles)

I am quite certain my next car will continue to be a toyota, but currently NOT in the market.

If they are trying to sucker me into buying a car because i test drove, i will definitely pass.

Then you're not the target demographic for this event.

Yes I understand. I am already hooked! I guess they are trying to bait new fish.

Toyota is #1 in the world for a reason... and that is a quality robust product.

I hope when i attend this year, they will not use an aggressive sales pitch to me even though i am hooked for life!

Does anyone know what vehicle they are featuring this year?

Are they introducing 2009 vehicles?
