Re: It all starts here
Alternative Options Realistically we have about a year to pull this off. The Reading X PPG Pace Car Meet took longer than that.
If Lafayette proves to be too problematic, can anyone else suggest a location (other than Morgantown, PA) where you would consider going to?
Keep in mind that back in 2002 at the Tenth Anniversary Meet, The oldest cars were 10 years old and the youngest one were just barely 6. Most had mileage of less than 90K and parts were plentiful.
Jump ahead 15 years. The oldest is now 25 years old and the youngest cars almost 20. Even at 10,000 miles a year, these cars range between 150,000 and 25,000 miles with essential parts becoming scarce.
All this means is that we all don't necessarily have to drive our own cars to wherever the meet is being held. There will probably be many local SVXs close by to attend and represent the marque, Those further away could just arrange to fly in for the festivities and reconnect with members.
We just need some sort of agreed upon direction and as many options and ideas that we can entertain
I still have my many contacts as SOA in Cherry Hill, The Drive and Drive Performance editors, Curator of the "Performance Attic" and some original contacts still at Lafayette. I am sure they would help us out greatly. How many members like us do they come across who are as passionate and determined to keep this marque alive; a car that is a quarter-century old and one the has been discontinued and out of production for 20 years?
Subaru is all about customer loyalty and this is great PR.
All ideas and suggestions are sincerely welcomed and encouraged. Their wil be many areas that need committees and members. Publicity, hotel accommodations, arrangements and commitments through Subaru and their PR department. Ideas for other events, scenic drives or convoy to places of interest (such as the Indy Museum). Restaurant investigation for group dinners, etc., parts raffle, swap meet, ideas for impromptu tech sessions
Much of this has to be done by local members in the area with familiarity of the conditions and offerings, checking out local restaurants. current road conditions to avoid construction, detours and congestion if a scenic drive is planned. I am sure we can all unite to pull this off. This may be the last significant milestone meet for these cars ever.
