  1. Mine just died today. Turned if off and on and it worked for a while, but now, the Radio is on, and the ACC display and buttons are dead, though the temperature seems to blow nice, cold air as normal. Anyone have an update on this? Rob Catron
  2. I got your PM and you are both down for the 18th. I posted this message just to let everyone know that right now, I have 8 (counting myself) for 3/4, and only 4 for 3/18 Also, you asked about cameras, and they will not be allowed in the plant. In fact, if they are like Honda, they will check your cell phones for cameras as well. thanks! Rob
  3. There is really no deadline. I think the security sheet that that I have to fax it in 48 hours prior to the tour, but I think a week would be best. I would like to have all signed up by, say the week of the 21st of this month Rob
  4. Please do. Also, I still do not have anywhere NEAR the names that voted in the poll to go. I would hope others will attend? If not, then there would be no sense at all going on the 18th tanx Rob
  5. Sounds like a great plan. I will be coming up on the 3rd as well. Breakfast sounds nice, and the caravan as well. I am pretty certain that we will start off in the training facility, but I'll let everyone know for sure soon. Let me know what you think about hotels, and I'll stay at the same one, for sure. We just need to get them booked pretty quickly. It would be nice to get a hotel that has a lounge of some sort so everyone can unwind a bit Thursday night. Rob
  6. got you (both)! Just an update for all -- I was told by Mike, my contact today that they are going to pull one of the Tribecas into the lobby for us to check out on both days. Get to "kick the tires" so-to-speak. Also, we are planning on starting 9:00 AM EST in the Training center to see the displays, then onto the Tribeca, then onto the tour. Should be fun stuff (especially to get to meet everyone). By the way, don't make the same mistake that I made when I went to the SAAB kick-off meeting last month -- LaFayette is one of the areas in Indiana where their time never changes, so they are actually EST now until EST "Springs Forward" in the Spring. I was late for a morning meeting with SQA, missed lunch, and was generally rushed for the meeting because I did not realize that Live and learn.... Rob
  7. So far I only have 7 total people that have PM'd me their names and dates. I have 5 on the 4th and 2 on the 18th. If we don't get anymore people than this, then there is definately no sense in going both days Rob
  8. Definately will not be in a room watching the video. Part of the tour will be a catwalk tour over the line. Also, I have requested that you all be allowed to get an intimate look at the Tribeca, like I did a couple of weeks ago. Though most of the preproduction models are out and about, they should have one in the lobby by the time we get there (to go along with the Garnet Red Pearl OB XT, Brilliant Silver LGT Limited, and Baja that is in there). Also, it would be neat to go to the Training facility where they have the first Legacy built at SIA (boy were THEY ugly!) and a really neat OB XT that is cut down the middle for a cross section view. You guys would like that. It is precision cut down the middle, the entire lenght of the car from stem to stern. Neat looking at the engine, especially. The tour will start at 9:00 AM EST by the way on both days. I still need names and dates from those of you that have not PM's me yet. Thanks to those who did already. Rob
  9. Ok, I received all of the forms this morning. I need to have everyone's full name and date of attending for security clearance. No sense clogging up this thread, so please PM me I have to go on a Business Trip and won't be back until Friday, so by next Monday or so, I'd like to have my forms completed and submitted. thanks, this is going to be fun (mainly meeting everyone, I think) Rob
  10. I am not 100% sure on what you mean. If you are asking how long you have to make up your mind whether you are in or not, I would like to at least give them a couple of weeks prior to the tour date to add your name, out of courtesy. My goal is just to give everyone a lot of time to make plans (both us and SIA). Rob
  11. I have confirmed that both dates are possible! (if there are no objections to this): Can I use the poll counts for my head count for both dates? Please ring in to confirm your name and date that you will be attending. I will ONLY be going one date (I'll go the first date), but I do not think that would be any big deal. Thanks alot, this will be fun. Rob
  12. Looks like the tables have turned -- the 18th is in the lead. Either day is fine with me Rob
  13. Surely Indy has jet service. LaFayette is only maybe 45 minutes north of Indy Rob
  14. My plans were to set our date following this weekend. It is still very close. I will go by whatever the results are by before I go to work on Tuesday. I am going to let SIA know then. I would like a rough headcount by then as well right now there are 12 for 3/4 I think. I am curious if the people on the "losing" date will still come on the "winning" date. If so, that almost doubles that number. thanks, Rob
  15. Not really unless you are in the sales / marketing / customer Service areas at your plant and know people inside SIA. I know about 5 people, with three of which I correspond with almost weekly (especially model launch times!) Rob
  16. There would be no cost involved, other than your transportation to Lafayette and a hotel if needed (for the night prior or after). I myself will go up Thursday after work, no matter if it is the 4th or the 18th and stay all night in LaFayette. Once the date is firmed up, I will get an agenda with start time thanks, Rob
  17. So far we are pretty close on dates, though March 4th has the edge. Remember, we have 6 more days. I want to let my contact know a week from today, so I am going to call the poll quits on 1/31 Our next question needs to be: if the 4th is the date, will the people that voted for the 18th be out? Or will the be able to come? I will need to get a total head count. So please be thinking about that. thanks, Rob
  18. Ok, well, now that the Tribeca is out of wraps, I am going to initiate the tour of SIA again. I was up this past Tuesday, and they are out in the open, and things have quieted down a bit. I would like to gage interest again. I got very fast response from my contact this time, so I do not think that would be a problem this time. The ramp up for the Tribeca is mid March. I think most people on this board, though they would want to see the Tribeca (which we will), would be more interested in seeing the Legacy / Outback line, so I don't think we would necessarliy have to wait until March. But still, February would be to short of notice, so I would like to propose two dates. Fridays won out the last time on the Monday or Friday poll, so I would like to suggest Friday, March 4, or Friday, March 18. Please choose in the poll above. Let's run this through Monday, January 31st to get two weekends in for everyone to respond. Let's do it this time! Rob
  19. Nice to see a fellow Kentuckian! I just sent you a PM, so we can talk more about your experience. Oldham's has been top notch to me, and they really move the cars. Rob
  20. I was at Oldham's Subaru in Lexington, KY helping a friend with buying a new Legacy, and noticed that all 5 of the GT's (two silver, one black, and one garnet red -- all Limiteds) on the lot had the Chrome Finish Rocker Panels and spoilers on them. Does this seem to be the norm? These were all installed at the factory. I have to say that I was not too impressed with either option. I think the spoiler messes with the clean lines, and I just don't know what to think of that chrome strip down the side. My buddy and his wife is looking at a black GT Limited with the beige interior, and I have to say that is a nice color combination. Not as sporty as my Garnet with Black interior, but I would say more airy and luxurious looking. Also, I think 4 of them had the homelink mirror on them. These three items, plus the subwoofer and floor mats pushed the sticker over $31K! By the way, if anyone is interested, they are selling them at $100 below invoice now. Not sure for how long, though.
