Keep the faith! We are all praying for you and Marianne. The post surgery treatment can be tough but well worth it. My husband is 9 years cancer free after having it spread pretty seriously. His chances were low in the beginning, but he is completely cured and cancer free.

Our love to you and your family.

Patti

pattim3 · October 2001

due to a lot of different circumstances, I'm not able to check in here quite as often. Things should ease up within the next few weeks. I'll try to stay on top of things, but I thought it best to let you know that I'll be scaling back a bit.

Thanks!

Happy Halloween! :-)

Anyone else wear a custume? I'm a french film director, complete with beret, black shirt and pants, clapper board, fake mustache, the works.

lucien2 · October 2001

Well I just hope everyone has a healthy Halloween, especially Don and his family.

Bob, you gotta read more carefully! I JUST posted Car mag's review of the Justy right ahead of yours!

Anyone ever seen Billy Crystal's stand up routine in Moscow where he finally realizes that the Russians weren't the enemy that he was told they were when he was young and istead it was the French?

Funny stuff.

Hi all,
what do you make out of Nasser's replacement? I know that his ousting was all but certain for a while, but what do you make of "Billy"?

rsholland · October 2001

I know he's very interested in environmental issues; I don't know if he's a "car guy" however.

Bob

lucien2 · October 2001

His background is finance. Not surprising, given the company's recent losses. Really a "wait and see" issue, as Bob said.

1subydown1togo · October 2001

My guess is that Ford's racing operations will be scaled back some because of his "green" outlook.

ateixeira · October 2001

Jac "the knife" Nasser was a casualty of the Firestone fiasco. Poor quality contributed, too.

William Clay will make them profitable again, but I'm not sure how exciting the product will be.

Check it out, just took this shot:

Notice the sweet Mac in the background? We'll be editing the film we take with that bad boy. That officially makes this Subaru-related! :-)

1subydown1togo · October 2001

great shot...you look like my long-lost cousin Pierre! (I was born in Paris). Is Hadji dressing up as a dog again this year?

It's good to hear that the treatment is going well. My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your wife.
Take Care,
Ron

ateixeira · October 2001

Oui Oui! Merci!

armac13 · October 2001

I also would like to offer my thoughts and prayers for Marianne and you. Having a bit of faith can go a long way toward healing both the body and the mind. Take care.

Ross

Karen_S · October 2001

My continued prayers and good wishes towards a complete recovery for Marianne. Take care and know the Crew (and myself) are focusing positive energy your way.

ongggh-ongggh-onggh! (That is my attempt at the much used "French" laugh/expression. Pepe LePew did it a lot...uh...if you don't get it..never mind.)

So, juice, will be seeing your Subaru film at the next Cannes?

Happy Halloween everyone!

1subydown1togo · October 2001

it reminds me of the line in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the French in the castle say to King Arthur.."dirty pigdog Englishmen, we spit in your general direction!"

Make sure you walk around the office holding your thumbs and index fingers together making a square, comme ca: L7 .

I envy the cleanliness of your workspace - mine looks like a rat's nest.

There was a Simpsons episode (sorry Loosh, I know you told me no Simps references here) in which Lisa, having been dropped off at the wrong school, enters a classroom in which a French lesson is being taught. Surprised that she is not at her school, and that foreign languages are being taught at the elementary school level, she soon gets laughed at by the class. The French teacher chides her students, "Non! Non! En Francais!" at which time the students switch from laughing "ha ha!" to laughing "awn-hawn-hawn!" (or "ongggh-ongggh-onggh!" as you put it). Riotous.

nygreg · October 2001

Where's the wine?

rangerron7 · October 2001

hypov · October 2001

juice- your halloween character reminds me of the qwack doc on Simpsons. :-D

-Dave

hondafriek · October 2001

You will appreciate this, saw a Miata at the shopping centre today, that dark hunter green colour.

It was all done up, fancy aftermarket rims, spoiler, leather interior, and Piaa driving lamps, then just as I was walking away the owner arrived she was the proverbial little old lady somewhere I would guess between 70 and 80 years old.

Remember I said only last week that age was a state of mind.

Cheers Pat.

ateixeira · October 2001

Been doin' that all day, Lark. We filmed lots of people acting goofy, to show at our next retreat.

Someone's got to add life to this place. Otherwise we're just a bunch of conservative bankers.

Loosh: what wine for today? Must be French, of course!

Maybe that Miata driver was only dressed up as a little old lady! :-)

-juice

hondafriek · October 2001

Nah the walker was a dead giveaway.

Cheers Pat.

ateixeira · October 2001

I ask because a lot of people aren't in Halloween mode on the 31st.

One year I came as a doctor and someone in the elevator asked if someone had a heart attack or something. As a hockey player, I painted on a black eye and someone asked me if it hurt! When I was a graduate people were asking what degree I had just earned (MS, but in 8 years ago!).

So, I've found people some times fall for the costume.

-juice

hondafriek · October 2001

No mistake this was definitely a little old lady.

Cheers Pat.

strider98 · October 2001

at you, you English bed-wetting types!" John Clease is hilarious...

lucien2 · November 2001

Lookin' good, Juice.

Lark- ya beat me to it. That was the single funniest cultural gag they've had on Simpsons in recent memory. Etudients! En Francais!

)

So who has attended the theatrical re-release of "Holy Grail?" Maybe this weekend for me, depending on how much I hurt on Sunday. 2 nights of late gigs in a row...

lucien2 · November 2001

That's Juice's Francophile costume. Well, Francostein, anyways.

ateixeira · November 2001

Holy Grail is back on the big screen? Gotta check the local listings...

thecat · November 2001

And if they didn't have horses, they could have crusaded in a Subaru. <---Lame attempt to keep on topic.

sibbald · November 2001

Seems to me, F.W.I.W., this board is a haven for any Psychologist looking for a little extra work.

Glad to see that full moon thing hasn't lost it's influence.;~}

armac13 · November 2001

Maybe Subaru should develop a new model called the Loony and build it in Canada (Canadian joke).

Ross

ateixeira · November 2001

You guys missed the Wizard of Oz skit, where I was chosen to play Toto.

We are not in Kansas any more!

pop the corks!
roll out those rally breads!
where's that Car-B-Q?!
got to cook the turbots!.... :-D

-Dave

ateixeira · November 2001

Wow, that was a quick report, too!

Hmm, a turbo halo car arrives and sales are up 116%.

I wonder what a Forester and Legacy turbo would do for those model lines? If I sound like a broken record, well, :P

-juice

fibber2 · November 2001

Bring out your dead...

Someday my son, this will all be yours....

Steve

lucien2 · November 2001

They just broke one record, Juice, why not some more??

Oh dear, remember the name of the Castle with the grail-shaped tower window......????? :'O

locke2c · November 2001

yes, it was Anthrax. boooooo...

c_hunter · November 2001

Can anybody comment on the best way to sell a Soob? I am seriously thinking about upgrading to an LL Bean wagon from Fitzgerald's (their new car prices are really good), but they are coming in way too low on the trade-in of my 2000 OB wagon to make it practical. I haven't ever sold a car on my own, and I am somewhat hesistant to sell my OB to just anybody (ye gads, what if they weren't true Subaru enthusiasts?). I'd like to hear what other people think before I consider this route.

While I would definitely fall in love with an LL Bean, I am still quite attached to my current wagon which makes this whole thing somewhat confusing for me. This is probably a sad indication that I like cars too much . . . .

thanks,
Craig

rsholland · November 2001

Hope that this is the beginning of a trend. I would love to see Subaru offer a longer warranty.

Bob

kate5000 · November 2001

I'd like to see longer B2B... There are so many non-powertrain expensive components that can go wrong, A/C for instance.

rsholland · November 2001

on the warranty front is good. I hope Subaru sees the light. It's certainly an excellent selling tool.

Bob

miksmi · November 2001

Interesting that Subaru sales are up in October, sans the 0% finance deal of the General, Ford, and DC. Legacy up 8%, Outback up 6%, Impreza (ok, WRX) up 116%, Forester slightly down. Nice to see most models, not just the WRX, have increased sales.

Thanks for the article, Bob, Sr. Editor.
