Scion

I really enjoyed that car when I had it.

And then right after that, 2004, I got a Scion XA.

So Scion was Toyota's little off.

spinoff brand for youth.

We talk about brands a lot.

Man, I really think Toyota messed up that Scion brand, but anyway, they had a good thing.

I don't know why they let that go, but what is your definition of a brand? And let's start there.

And then I'll ask you a follow-up question, which is like, what is the Tommy brand or the delivered brand?

And it's now in the hands, hearts and minds of the people who experience it.

And so I think the magic happens where you walk the talk, where those things align, the expectations, the promises that you made match up with the expectations and even exceed it.

And I'll go back to Scion.

I'll riff a little bit more on Scion.

no

Honda Scion? I think the Scion's the model.

I don't believe that's true.

Okay.

It's very fun.

They don't want to make the bad choices, but they are good at making the weird ones, which I'm like, yes, okay.

Yeah, just to circle back, Honda and Scion are two different makes, right? I'm going to know you're going

to

Well, I remember there was I think it was France somewhere over in the UK somewhere.

There was somebody that decided to make an air powered car and it looked kind of like one of those Scion little toaster vehicles.

It was a small, small micro minivan of sorts or whatever.

And it had I mean, the entire back end was just nothing but tanks.

I'm a it's like I don't smoke anymore.

But when I used to, I'd get in the Scion TC that I drive out there.

Oh, yeah.

And

And sometimes that leads to radically brave creative, like radically bold, brave.

I remember we got invited into this, like, secret project, which turned out to be the Toyota Scion launch.

And somehow we got discovered by the people who were in the secret skunk works at Toyota.

They were looking for an agency.

End quote.

And on Monday, January 11th, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, or better known as ATF, were conducting surveillance along Highway 48 in Dickson County, Tennessee when they spotted a silver 2006 Toyota Scion.

It was Darrin's daughter, McKenzie Lopez.

She was driving and Darrin was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Agents followed the vehicle into Dickson and approached after Darrin exited the vehicle.

An ATF special agent, Jackson Reeves, took him into custody and asked whether he was carrying any weapons.

Darrin replied that he had a loaded .45 caliber handgun inside a bag in the Scion with a cartridge already chambered.

A subsequent search recovered the pistol, ammunition, military patches, Jennifer's credit cards, a blue surgical mask, and Darrin's Samsung Galaxy cellphone.

Great guy.
