Post Hanging up my Subaru Hat...

as of January 2005, Subaru Kaneohe will be in closed temporarily.
i have accepted a position at Honda Windward until we open up our new store on Kahuhipa Street. i have enjoyed my year and half here and have many great experiences here.

i would like to thank all those who have blessed me with your kindness, hospitality and business. i am kind of cautious about Honda products, but i know that they are excellent products.(at least i can scope the competition)

Nino, thanks for showing me the ropes and your kind and generous offer. but i had to stay with the ship .

i am very sad right now because i will be without Subaru products for a while... but i know that its for a greater purpose and that within a year i will be back on my 6 star horse again.......

you are definitely right about the money. but i'm a firm believer in loving what you sell. if i don't own and love what i sell... whats the point? right now i can say that i don't love hondas. i am fond of the S2000 -i drove one for about a week. it was "okay". who knows maybe i'll buy a civic and garage my STi.

actually if all i wanted was money i'd go to JN and rape people of their wallets for generations to come. i like being able to work in a honest and reputable company with morals and a strong connection with the community....

i'm gonna miss selling subarus
subaru customers rock.

as a matter of fact i will be looking for some good guys once we get settled in. most likely i'll be in finance when i get there so i won't be on the "frontline", but i'll definitely keep your number

Forget getting a civic get a honda motorcycle instead.
Are you going to be able to participate in a stock plan for honda or anything?

Honda's definetly sell themselves. Its hard to be the quality that they make. if you dont care about performance and want a great family car Honda is an easy choice. Good luck!

just remember, since u work at Honda now...

VTECH = Telephone
VTEC = Honda
i-VTEC = teh fastAR!
FWD > Snow (yes i know AWD is better, but customers dont)
Odyssey > World (tho it is the best Box on the market)
S2000 = Halo (brings em in, then you sell them a Civic Si)
Civic Si > teh Fastest car ever built, owns SRT-4 and the Lamborghini (LOL)
