many SVXes in PA?

I could swear that half the members here reside in PA. Why is the SVX so popular there?

Sure wish I could "form a circle" with some of the SVX "wagons" around here every month or two. Would be fun to get together for some regular mini-meets.

The corporate HQ for Subaru is in Cherry Hill, NJ. This is approx. 5 miles east of Phila. Also they have alot of Suby dealers in this region. There are at least 5 Suby dealerships within a 1/2 hour drive of my house. There are 9 within an hour's drive. Most of them are old time Suby dealerships so they have some people that have SVX maintenance experience.
I'm not saying that the service at all of them is good. Some are very good and some aren't. But at least all of them seem to know what an SVX is and most are helpful.

i think one of the reasons SVX's are so popular here is because:
1. They are beautiful
2. Lancaster County Motors sold a **** load of SVx's and most lancaster natives seem to stay in pennsylvania. Why do they stay? I have no idea. Lancaster is the most boring place on earth!!!

Please dont relate Lancaster to other places in PA. You'll give the state a bad name! Lancaster, in my opinion, is home of some of the most backward, weird people ive ever seen. Not to mention the boringness factor, but I believe that comes with any smaller city.

I'm from Lancaster City and I certainly didn't consider it all that boring what with the murder rate beeting out philadelphia and the random classroom sweeps for weapons where to many people didn't come back into class when it was done
guess there really wasn't much else to do I guess...

sdrawkcab eb ot flesym redisnoc t'nod....

course I did leave about 10 years ago and haven't looked back
