Nothing beats a friendly debate on which Subaru is the best -Frank Replies to this message: volkov (Oct 14, 2004 7:41 pm)

I saw Jerry Lewis on Broadway in Damn Yankess. Best show I've ever seen. He broke out in an ad-hoc facial expression skit, and had the entire theatre cracking up, and me crying from laughter. My kidneys were sore later. He played the Devil, of course, and the best part was the opposing team was ... the Washington Senators. How appropriate now that it looks like we'll have a team once again. Forester is the only Subie to be rated #1 in its class by CR, C&D, IIHS, or NHTSA. All of them, actually. No other Subie can make any of those claims. -juice

Replying to: rob_m (Oct 14, 2004 3:16 pm) No, Rob. Unfortunately, I have not been to a major league game in many years. My dad had excellent connections and we used to get field box seats and occasionally press box (that narrow band between tiers) to games at Shea. That included Mets and Jets! Now I occasionally take the family to Dutchess Stadium for our local minor league team, the Hudson Valley Renegades. Nolan Ryan's kid used to play for them. Minor league is great fun, very safe & family oriented, and still affordable. Steve Replies to this message: rob_m (Oct 15, 2004 8:23 am)

Replying to: tsy (Oct 14, 2004 2:13 pm) Cut the money they spend on player salaries by $50 million and I guarantee they won't have the heart or talent to win the WS. I didn't know that the Yankees salaries grew by $50 million, when they won since 1923. :p Replies to this message: tsy (Oct 15, 2004 9:49 am) bigelm (Oct 15, 2004 9:53 am)

There was a review of the OB XT Limited in the local paper today. The thrust of the article was to question Subaru's decision to move upscale. I found it interesting that the writer quoted a researcher who stated that Mercedes was adding AWD across their model lines because surveys had shown that people living in cold weather climes who could afford a Mercedes were instead opting for a Subaru. Then in the next paragraph the writer expressed doubt that many people would be willing to pay $32,5k for a Subaru, even an admittedly nice one. To me this seems to capture the dilemma that Subaru is facing... increased competition in the AWD market from all sides coupled with consumer reluctance to consider Subaru as upscale. -Frank Replies to this message: sduford (Oct 15, 2004 9:59 am) p0926 (Oct 15, 2004 10:08 am)

Replying to: bigelm (Oct 15, 2004 8:50 am) I don't think the 1923 Yankees would do very well today ;-P!! But I'm sure they're not doing it for the money, right? tom Replies to this message: bigelm (Oct 15, 2004 9:53 am)
