Correct. Subaru of America has regional offices all over the country. Essentially these "zones" (the very same Zone in Zone Operation Specialist) are the intermediate between the retailers (aka dealerships) and corporate.

I believe it's because Larry, the guy who currently holds that position is retiring soon. It would be awesome if someone who was involved in the Subaru tuner community would get the position and bring more attention to Northern CA instead of SoCal or the NorthEast.

If I was in my mid 30's and had a college degree, I'd sign up in a heartbeat.

But neither have a degree nor am I in my 30's. Also, I bet having to drive a stick shift will eliminate quite a few potential candidates.
