When Blick Art Materials moved onto Broadway last spring, having a nearby place to pick up supplies probably made more than few Seattle Central students happy. Tuesday, the Broadway store made one young designer particularly happy. SCCC student Shelby Serverin got the keys to her new Toyota Scion that she won in a sweepstakes put on by Blick. Blick also donated $5,000 in art supplies to Seattle Central to support the school’s art programs. Being a true artist, we expect Shelby to trade her shiny new wheels for canvas, oils and an old beach cruiser.

It totally goes well with her Coach purse and leather jacket.
Bitter, party of one, what_now…
You’d win more (friends, if nothing else) leaving the denigration behind.
How great for her, I say.
Bitter part of two.
It might be a knock off but I agree.
In before the cars-are-evil people!
It’s not that cars are evil. They just aren’t practical on Capitol Hill. SUVs are an especially odd gift for a Capitol Hill buisness to give to a Capitol Hill resident, don’t you agree? Especially considering the coming removal of a manditory minimum of parking spaces required for new development and a neighborhood that has two major public transport projects coming it’s way. Not to mention, that Capitol Hill is already one of the most walked (least driven, possibly?) and biked parts of town. Let’s hope she does a lot of camping or road trips or something.
I just think it’s funny. Sort of like a store in Dallas giving someone a bus pass.
I think it’s pretty cool a national company like this does this. The give to SCCC is especially cool. I really like the shopping experience at Blick, all employees are very helpful and friendly.
shake her hand and hand her keys at the same time? She’s only got one hand free cause she’s holding that new Blick hoodie you just gave her, man.
I think he’s going to put the key in her mouth.
it’s not an SUV.
Scions aren’t SUVs? Coming from a person that has never owned a car and knowns next to nothing about them, they sure look like SUVs. They are big boxy rectangles with cargo space in the back. hahaha.
An SUV is built on a light-truck chassis, and thus generally has a truck’s powertrain (engine and transmission, basically). That is also why they’re such gas hogs, having a engine which is way overpowered for a family vehicle, and a transmission designed to provide torque for lots of cargo and towing capacity, not efficient light travel. The Scion would either be a hatchback or station wagon (I believe depending on whether it is two or four doors, but I may be wrong about that), as it is built on a sedan’s chassis with a normal powertrain. In other words, it’s a boxy, ugly version of a normal car. IMO probably the ugliest car around, excluding the Nissan Cube.
Sorry, I’m a stickler for details… ;)
Myshkin,
That is what you call anal. I am also a stickler for details.
… and celebrating a company handing out a car, through a post that makes walking sound like a bad thing, seems so dated.
