Hey guys,

Haven't been on the forums in a little bit as I've been taking care of alot of things around the house and such. Also picked up a part time gig with the GeekSquad. Yeah, the bug driving guys in ties that fix your PC. Well... a day into the gig I get approached to, of all things, help them get a little car show together in their parking lot. So here's whats going down so far.

Where: Best Buy in Riverside (Tyler street, near the galleria mall).

When: November 14 or 15 (tenative but 90% solid on those days).

Why: For a good cause of course! To raise money for the "Make a Wish" foundation. Donations taken on site, as well as raffles.

Whats in it for you?
Glad you asked! Started out as just a $25 gift card for the store managers favorite cars, but I've helped them kick it up a notch. Now we're looking at a raffle for a brand new, nicely decked out tower PC, a flat screen television, various items from the car audio department, Best buy gift cards for employee choice show cars, and we're even trying to setup a discount on ALL shopping for anyone who shows their VW key at the register that day! How's that for a dub lovin store??

Is it a show?
Think of it as the big get together, but with the addition of the store managers and employees taking their time to browse the cars and toss out a few extra freebies to the dubs they find the most eye catching! We won't be doing trophies but thats okay, because you can't spend a trophy or use it to log onto SCE to post up anyway... the stuff we'll give you, you can!

Who's going to be there?
Other than an array of nicely worked up air cooled and water cooled dubs (both are encouraged!), we'll have on site munchies, a select few aftermarket vendors that are being specifically invited, various press outlets (news papers, magazines, television), and of course... you. Right?

We'll be parking a number of cars in half of the front parking lot, and then using the ENTIRE rear lot behind and to the side of the store just for the show! We want to pack every inch of the lot with dubs new and old, plain and custom!

If you're at all interested in coming by, and you have a car with alot of love and detail put into it, please let me know personally so I can help convince them to let me park a few up by the front door!

Oh, and if you're worried about non-car folks being near your rides, don't! We will have Riverside's finest on site to help make sure cars are respected from a safe distance by the masses!

Come out and help us raise some funds for a great cause, the "Make a Wish" foundation", and enjoy alot of great once in a great while prizes and freebies, and a dub owner discount on all other shopping!

RSVP to this thread and post up any questions you have!

Lowered or not lowered, I'm fully expecting you to show up and hang out!

The 14th of November is a monday BTW. I'm talking with BB managers to see if we can do this on a saturday, but since it's a business parking lot that still has to accomodate customers, there's more to it than just picking a good day for the cars to come out and play. So as of now it would mean taking a day off of work for alot of folks.

If you are down for playing hookie to hit up a good cause car show, great. If this being held on a saturday is much better for you, and would make the difference between showing up and not being able to, LET ME KNOW. If I can show them that the turn out would be higher on saturday over monday, it helps me move it to a better time for all of us. Either way, Make-a-wish is going to benefit greatly!

PS : If this is a good turn out, it could very possibly turn into an annual event benefiting this and other charities.

Roughly at what time? Since those days land during the beginning of the work, folks have to work. I would luv to make it though.

Interested but not liking the Monday thing. Especially with the work week traffic.

I'll watch the thread to see where this goes.
