Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 26, 2007 1:48 pm) They have to go - we're test fitting a family car and I want input from everyone. Too bad I can't take the cat! fixed

Replying to: lucien2 (Jan 26, 2007 5:09 pm) Enjoyed the show, though it was very hectic and VERY crowded. Food costs a fortune and was only sparsely available. Kids had a great time. Charlie went straight to the bright yellow Ferrari F430. I guess he doesn't mess around.  Tatiana fell in love with the Ford Airstream concept, the silver one with the glowing orage window surrounds. We test fitted several big SUVs and vans, and came away pretty much with the same list we entered with - Tribeca, Sienna, and Entourage/Sedona. Wifey also like the XL7, though more than I did. I saw some cheap parts and the price isn't really cheap once you equip it properly. Before we left we saw a Grand Caravan on fitzmall for $20.6k with power sliding doors and tailgate, but after the show I realized it has several key downsides: * rear windows don't open * no side curtain air bags on that model * crash tests scores are dismal even with those It's funny, you look at the Sienna and Entourage back-to-back, honestly, and objectively the Hyundai is completely on par with the Toyota, even better in some ways. Still waffling on the CPO Tribeca, or a new Entourage, or a new or CPO Sienna 8 passenger. The problem with Toyota is SHEESH do they get expensive when you equip them.  -juice

Replying to: rsholland (Jan 28, 2007 3:49 pm) With $1000 Subaru Bucks and a not-so-good first impression on the CX9, it's not even on our short list. Sort of disappointing. Let's move the discussion to the Cafe since the show wrapped up. -juice |

That's right folks, it's that time of the year again, when we all break out of the winter blues of no car shows, no auto-x, no road racing, no drag strips and head out on the open highway for a good cause. This is the 7th Annual running where a group of Subaru enthusiasts from all over the TriState area take a 3 day long trip covering about 48hrs of driving overall from the sand down in the Pine Barrens of NJ to the wintery snow of the Adirondacks. This year we are planning on about 900 miles of highways, backroads and no roads with dinners and partys every night. We also will be visiting SOA headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJ. Last year we raised over $6,000 for the American Cancer Society from pledges that the participants gathered! Our goal this year is to raise over $7,000 for ACS. The trip will start with a dinner kickoff in Cherry Hill, NJ on Thurs Night Jan 31, 2008. We will continue on Friday morning with a visit to Subaru of America Headquarters and then the drive will take our Subies through the sandy Pine Barrens of NJ and then up through Northern NJ and on to Cooperstown, NY. From there, we'll continue on backroads through the Adirondacks on Saturday with a Catered Dinner Party in Lake George, NY. Sunday will be a liesurely drive from the Adirondacks toward Newburgh, NY. All kinds of Subies are welcome on this trip. We've had XT6s, GLs, DLs, Legacies, Brats, you name it! Several companies also have provided us with door prizes for those participating! In past years we've had $100s and $100s worth of door prizes! The important info: What: Group drive to raise money for ACS and have a fun 900+ mile trip along the way. Where: Starts in Cherry Hill, NJ and continues throughout NJ and NY with stops to Cooperstown, NY the Adirondacks, Lake George and New Paltz, NY When: Jan 31- Feb 3, 2008 More info: http://48hrs.info and http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1373935 There are pics and writeups from previous events and a registration page.

Replying to: paisan (Nov 25, 2007 7:59 am) It is a lot of fun, with people in all Subarus; not just the WRX either. We have Foresters ( 2 or 3), Legacy GT wagon, and me in an Outback. For anyone in the area it is a lot of fun, so come on out and join us. Mark |
