Alright peeps, someone has to step up. As your esteemed elder leader, i'm investigating an organized Yaris only cruise :burnrubber: to a 'show and shine' meet at a central Florida location in early 2009 that offers warm temperatures, tons of sun, plenty of room and activities open to the entire State of Florida Yarii and other import owners including our neighbors to the north. I'm thinking big. And its called 'The Southeastern Sun and Shinefest'. For the record, it doesn't involve hanging out at an unfinished subdivision or mall parking lot...We deserve better :cool:

This organized event with controlled entry is open to Yaris owners (primary) and our cousins in the import world (Scions, Toyotas, other enthusiasts) would take place on a Saturday date afternoon/early evening time...Here's the catch: There will be a minimal entry fee (i'm estimating $25 per car) paid in advance (PayPal will be used to pre-register and confirm your spot). Day of event admission will be a higher fee and cash only. More details to come.

We need a paid commitment by a minimum of 15 Yaris owners once details are announced to begin initialization of the proceedings. Of course I would hope for many more than this from Florida and the southeastern US...Let's see your commitment Floridians and southern neighbors...This is your chance to rub elbows with the legendary redyaris :bow: in one of my limited public appearances scheduled for 2009.

Planning to travel to join in the festivities? I can help you with a discounted Orlando area hotel room. Contact me once the date is confirmed.

I'm also gonna need a couple of volunteer helpers setting up and running this event. Can I count on you fellow Orlandoans?


Got an idea for the Southeastern Sun and Shinefest? Shoot me a PM and i'll consider it. I want to keep this topic as 'official' as possible with details and attendance list.

oh, and I recommend trying to contact Kieth Pierson Toyota. They are very show friendly and have done many in the past, they are in Jacksonville and is a very good spot for the ATL crowd to join us.

Like I said in the original post, we need 15 Yaris owners in order for me to commit to organizing this...and I dont see anything near that level yet.

Also the 15 yaris owners will be paying a fee for entry and it wont be cheap. Discuss.

I'm interested. Especially if you can make it happen Feb/Mar. I'll be craving warm weather around then.

as long as the fee isn't crazy like $50 and we're getting our $$'s worth I have no issues spending it.

Not looking good, i'll give it another week until January 9. If we dont have 15 confirmed Yaris FL participants by then ill have this topic deleted by the mods.

I'll go, and I'll bring a friend, she doesn't have a Yaris though and will be riding with me. Not sure if that counts.

Let's hope more people join.

Sorry, I gave it a shot. :iono:

Incredibly, we couldn't generate more interest from the fourth largest populated US State featuring 9 of the largest 100 metro areas in the country (7th - Miami, 19th-Tampa/St. Pete, 27th-Orlando/Kissimmee, 40th-Jacksonville, 73rd-Bradenton/Sarasota, 85th-Cape Coral/Ft. Myers, 87th-Lakeland/Winter Haven, 92nd-Palm Bay/Melbourne, and 100-Daytona Beach) population (source: Wikipedia).

I'm not committing to organizing any Yaris event in the future. Someone else can do it. Good luck with that. Looks like standing around in abandoned parking lots or being harassed by mall security is the best we can do and I won't be doing that.

Mods please delete or lock this topic. Thanks.
