Hey guys, I registered. The idea of having an Atlanta-based WRX club is cool. I'm glad to see someone's done it the right way, the graphic design on the site and the board look excellent. For those of you who don't know me, I've been a highly active member of the online Subaru community since 1998. I was one of the original 100 members of what is now called NASIOC.com, and I've been organizing a major Subaru owner event at Deal's Gap (The Dragon) for the past four years. Until recently I was the performance parts specialist at Subaru of Gwinnett, but I made a decision to leave there due to a number of overwhelmingly negative issues with the way the company is operated. I am now the new Subaru Performance Department manager at Classic Subaru in Sandy Springs. I am in the process of creating the new department and simultaneously whipping the service department into shape. As many of you know this will be quite a process. In the future I hope that we can provide an unsurpassed service experience for the Subaru community. I have a lot of parts inbound, we are now the Atlanta distributors for Whiteline and Stromung, so we'll have a whole slew of trick suspension and exhaust pieces for anyone who's interested. Anyway, I'm glad to be here. Hopefully I'll see some of you Thursday evening at Northpoint! Jason Porter Subaru Performance Manager Classic Subaru of Atlanta 770-394-9100 jporter@classicatlanta.com
*whip crash pop noise* Good, it is about time Classic shaped up to be a worth while Subaru dealership. I am very pleased to see this and even more so to extend you a very warm welcome to the website and the club. Thank you for taking the time to sign up and put forth the dedication required :bigthumb: Julia (saleswoman from Classic) had mentioned that you guys were attempting to create in essence an in house tuning shop (although she would neither confirm or deny this) with the intentions of creating a few demo cars and eventually offering the ability for new owners to have their cars worked on by a reputable shop. This I can respect and wish you the best of luck with such. As for your compliments, I always find them flattering. The site design is quite pleasing in my opinion, it always has been. I do not see changing much in the near future, at least looks wise. There are plans for expansion etc, but we shall see how far that comes along. Ultimately the largest debate is the design of a frontpage, and not necessarily its aesthetical aspect, something more along the lines of "is it actually needed?". I hope to see you out on Thursday, it looks to be the biggest turn out yet!
Nice meeting you at the meet. I'll definately hit you up on that Stromung catless downpipe and some Whiteline suspension stuff when the $$$ comes around.
