bad:

1) WAY TOO MANY Corollas and Camry/Solaras. Lexus members are forced to park far.

2) Giveaway baseball caps say Toyota not TRD.

3) Didnt' see any food (maybe I was there too late)

4) Speaker is not loud enough for Ethan to talk.

5) Ethan too busy to talk to me.

6) Time span is too long, so some people left before others could show up.



how to improve:

1) Lexus only.

2) TRD caps instead of Toyota caps.

3) Louder speaker

4) More food.

5) Have one in winter.

What Toyota's? I didn't see any Toyota's at all. :eek: I guess I was too busy eating the delicious heroes, drinking the ice cold drinks and speaking to Ethan. :eek:

Dear Carson Toyota August 10, 2002 attendees,

I apologize and take responsibility for all of the mishaps at this meet.

1) Parking Situation
2) Food Situation (Not enough food and especially, drinks.)
3) Raffle Situation
4) Weather

I should've put more time into it and thought it through some more.

I again, want to sincerely apologize to all the people who were forced to park on the other side of the street.

I would like again to thank all the sponsors of the meet:

1) Steve Ganz of Carson Toyota/Lexus Parts
2) Veilside
3) TM Engineering
4) Tom's
5) TRD
6) Endless
7) Tein

Sincerely,

Ethan

Ray,

now you know why I was there at 10:30. That was my brunch.

Now to the meet, I personally don't like it. I thought it was supposed to be "Club Lexus" meet.

Improve:
(1) Lexus only or even Club Lexus member and his friends only.
(2) Small amount of entrance fee/donation to have more/better food.
(3) More relax/kick back atmosphere.
(4) A 30 min Cruise after meeting.
(5) Basketball/volleyball, some sore of mild exercise.

Now here is what I think went wrong:
(1) Way too many people. I thought the theme was Club Lexus? And the numbers of other vehicles are out numbers Lexus GS by A LOT
(2) Not enough food.
(3) No girls. This is not a requirement but it's better to have.
(4) The whole mass is messy. Am I in one of those HIN with no girls? LOL.
(5) No food and no girls. Oh.... I've mentioned it already.
(6) Ethan was too busy to spend some quality time with me, err with members. LOL.

Ethan,

We all know that you tried your hardest and put every step possible into making it a worthwhile event for CL. I want to extend a personal THANK YOU for doing your best!

It was good to see the rest of the familiar faces along with some new ones.

Everyone should have had nametags, unless I went around asking I didn't know who was who and half the people there were driving Solara's or Celicas. And what was the point of having TRD there? they didn't do much. It was kinda nice talking to the guys there but they just had some random cars they dragged over from the WHQ in Torrance. We should have lined up and had a cruise later thru the better parts of LA too. Can't do that easily over in the 'hood.. we were only a few blocks from famous Crenshaw ave.

I liked the meeting but I began to wonder what the purpose of it was, and I was so damn hot I drank a gallon or so of water.

RacingAristo

Yeah, I mentioned this problem before the meeting. Unfortunately no action was taken and that's why I only talked to the folks I know before.

It'd be nice next time we could have name tags with both screen name and real name.

Toyota cars withstanding, I give a hearty applause to Ethan for setting such a big event up! We should be happy that it was free and there was food for free.

Great job Ethan!
