yeah, it's weird that it happens over time.


and yet the subaru forums are thriving every day. i-club just had their yearly bbq in fremont with a few hundred people there.
i'm also on the forester forums which is extremely active as well.

not really sure why azine died over the years.

Some of us got married and started families.

Not much time left to do anything else once that happens. It's true for me, not sure if it's true for others.

I don't even have time to wash my car anymore. I'll post pics when I finally wash my car.

I think a lot of other car companies have a better aftermarket than Acura and market cars for the 35 and under crowd, while Acura still pushes to the late 30's and up business pro crowd.

The subaru aftermarket is gigantic, almost everything they sell can be modded with ease. A guy that works for me just picked up a forester wagon and I'm jealous as hell from all the mods he has been showing me. I think if Acura brought back the CL-S in RWD with a 6spd , the tuner world would come running back by the hundreds.

I would say in a nut-shell. subaru corporation has a bigger investment
in auto racing IE: pro/amateur racing, which in turn bigger aftermarket
products.

I left the Acura family but I would love to show off the Ford Fusion. I've spent a good amount of money tuning this car and it's coming along nicely.
