[s13gold]

NICE, two birds and one stone

exactly. no harm in helping out.

[oczilvia]

Anyone else coming?

We'll do another one in December, but a toy drive for Christmas presents for abused/foster kids.

I'm planning on having a meet the 1st Wednesday of every month and to have some kind of charity element tied into it.

Come out to this one in Nov. 7. It'll be worth everyone's time.

[k's_silvia2.0]

sounds chill.

Sounds chilly!
If I got the day off then I got the time to roll through.

[Skullavera]

C'mon peeps! Where's all the zilvia support! It's for a great cause! This thread should be full of posts of people who want to help. Just stop by your local grocery store and get some canned food and drop it off here! I'm going to try to make a nice donation :D

[stinky_180]

imma be there.

[oczilvia]

That's the spirit!

[tacotacotaco]

my gutted car shold be able to fit some goods.

[oczilvia]

UPDATE:

Food will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank, Orange, CA http://www.feedoc.org/index.html. A representative from Second Harvest will be there and bring some barrels to collect the canned food.

I am working on getting a gift bag of cool stuff for the person that donates the most canned food.

I need a roll call of who's coming so I can estimate how many barrels and how many Super Autobacs coupons to bring.

I'm posting this up on many different forums. So far, the response is awesome. So, besides being a great cause, we'll see a great mix of cars (Skyline, Silvia, Supra, RX7, NSX, EVO, Honda, MR2, Lexus, Acura, Subaru and etc.)

I'll start:

1) Me
2) vutony
3) silver240esex
4) stinky180
5) kndacomplx
6) k's silvia 2.0

Really? Hmmmm......I believe you. Although it's easier to admit one's mistakes online, it is commendable that you apologized. That shows good character. Sorry about your car, and the situation with your girl doesn't help either. Keep your chin up and you'll be ok. Glad to hear you had a change of heart. See you there! Don't hesitate to say hello too. I'll be in my primer hatch on work xd9s and the wifey will be in her two tone s14 (burgundy with green door lol) and the kids.

I love the fact that you've got the family involved in both cars and this charity event. That's awesome.

Look forward to meeting a good hearted person.

Make sure you identify yourself at the meet so I can shake your hand.

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

Most of the BS deleted...

Also deleted the big Ad for Focus Auto. If this is about the Food Drive we don't need details about the shop.

Fair enough. Its our first time. We'll do a more forum friendly flyer next time around.

Thanks for relieving this thread of the negativity.

[adrians_s13]

question: hows the parking gonna be? Is it gonna be make and model segregated? or just find a spot and settle?

[oczilvia]

I'll definetly roll by, and might bring 1-3 friends with me :)

Glad you can make it and that you spread the word.

Very nice of you.

[oczilvia]

I'll be there. :)

Thank you for confirming.

There's no structured parking format, but like most meets it'll probably be the way you mentioned where certain groups park next to each other.

Nothing wrong with that. I am biased towards Nissan though. It would be nice if the Nissan's represented.

[Skullavera]

Does it really matter? Does it take away from the fact that this canned food drive will benefit the needy? Regardless of the negativity, the truth is that it is to help out those individuals and families who are less fortunate than most of us. I work helping people everyday. I work for the Depatment of Public Social Services. We offer Medi-Cal, Food Stamps, and Cash Aid. I know what it is to help someone in need. I know the difference just a little can make in people's lives. It is truly a blessing to see and experience that right before your very eyes. Not everyone can see it. Not everyone takes advantage of the opportunities they have to make a difference. I know I've been guilty of that in the past. But this here is an opportunity to give to someone who is in need! Does it really matter that there is a bad thread about Focus? Whether or not people have had negative experiences with them means nothing here. The real benefit is to the people who will have something to eat because of the donations. Why is it so hard to give? It isn't. Like I said before, don't put down the cause because of a bad review thread. There is no profit in a food drive! Let's just get together and truly help those people who need it! That's all it is and that's all it should be.

[oczilvia]

Well spoken Skullavera. What you do at work is amazing. What's interesting is that you're helping the needy, but at the same time you're helping yourself. Its an awesome feeling to give. Very rewarding. It makes you feel great.

In the end, there's two groups we're helping:

1) Hungry families/individuals that depend on the Second Harvest Food Bank and
2) Unfortunate victims of the So. Cal. wildfire that we're helping out.

Thanks for that post. I'd like to see my fellow Zilvian brothers be great leaders and role models by pulling up in their cars with lots of canned food in their trunk.

[oczilvia]

Its tonight!

Alot of nice cars and a great cause.

Come on down. I've got this listed on other forums too (S2000, Mr2, Rx7s, Lexus, NSX, Skyline, Porsche and etc.)

[adrians_s13]

damn, I couldnt make it... I was too busy getting bitch slapped by my midterm studies :-/

[oczilvia]

Guys, thank you soooooo much for your support.

It was a great success, 4 barrels full of canned food, over $500 in money donations, over 150 people and 100 cars (all makes and models) united for a great cause = help other human beings.

Whether you brought 1 can, no cans or 100 cans, everyone that showed up, took time out, burnt gas money and came to support the cause.

Much props to the Zilvia and 240sx commrades. We gave those exotic car guys a run for the money when it comes to donations. I'll get some pics up soon.

Skullavera - very nice person and family. Nice to meet you.

I'll keep you guys posted on the next car meet/charity event. Possibly a Toy drive for CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orange County).

Once again thank you everyone!

[Skullavera]

Hey! Likewise my friend. Look forward to the next one!

[k's_silvia2.0]

My sister had a surprise dinner and it wasnt for me but I didn't know so I was surprised.Sorry that I couln't contribute but next time.Looks like it went well.

[oczilvia]

There's always next time.

[WISH ONE]

[oczilvia]

Greetings,

Thank you for coming and supporting the first "Focus Auto Sales car meet and charity event".

We enjoyed your presence and value your contributions.

You helped to donate a total of 500 pounds of canned food that night. That feeds 1000 people. You made a difference in many peoples' lives just by showing up and donating. Every little bit goes a long way.

Also, with the the money contributions and calendars sold we raised over $500 to be donated to the American Red Cross "Southern California Wildfire Victim Fund".

Super Autobacs and Second Harvest Food Bank are also very grateful for your support.

We would also like to thank your friends and family that came with you.

Please keep your eyes peeled for out next car meet and charity event. Its set for next month, December.

If you love cars and you love to help others, together we can make a difference.

Once again, thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
