Effin Ponderous Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I live in Middletown... exit 114 Monmouth Cty. I fight Benny traffic from Newark every Friday night for sometimes 2 1/2 hrs, and an hour and change back in on Monday mornings. I only drive 35 miles...2 1/2 hrs sucks. Not a Benny here.

Effin Ponderous Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 HA! A Benny is what us cool people on and near the shore (Old Bridge to A/C) call the northerners (primarily New Yorkers) that come down to the beaches and screw up traffic. Bye the way...formerly from Westchester in NY and in Monmouth for 19 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth. Newark. New York....I have heard that farther south new jersey there are other terms like shoebie..don't know the origins of that term. I have know this term for over twenty years. It is soo well known that there is banners and parades (tube race parade in point pleasant beach in september) celebrating the end of the summer and the return of the shore to a benny free area. While we greatly appreciate benny's spending there money it is sooo nice when they leave. Jersey shore: its your vaction and our life......

godwhomismike Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Yea Marty was the guy when I bought mine also.. though I got handed off anyway once in the dealership to their "other internet guy". Not a big deal and Marty came by a couple times just to see how things were going. I spoke to Marty earlier in the week, easily the coolest salesperson I've ever spoken with. He knew his stuff, very friendly, and set me up with an appointment to test drive the FXT/Legacy on Saturday. I was very very pleased and impressed after speaking to him. ., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yea, overall that dealership has some nice people in it. Though they pull the usual dealership games when working on a modified car.. like blaming my boost gauge for a huge puddle in my passenger side foot well. But I cant blame them for not wanting to do work that they wont be compensated for from subaru.. just a hassle when you know its not your fault.

Effin Ponderous Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Marty has taken over customer service now and will probably get you situated with someone decent...and then keep coming back to make sure you're ok. Make sure you keep him in the loop...he is def the right guy there. I went down a few weeks ago and didn't see him, waited around for 45 minutes and go to speak with no one. Tell him Jeff says Hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
