1978...I graduated from Manchester Memorial High School. My best friend, Paul Nelson and I traveled to San Antonio Texas to audition for a rock band. We packed up travel trunks, guitars and equipment, hopped on a Trailways bus, and rode off...it was an adventure. Neither of us had traveled far away from home (well one time we drove to NYC to play our music in the subway...never found the subway, turned around and drove back home) but alas, we never made the audition, bad luck, and fate pushed us both into different directions. Paul served our country…

As we have for the past several years, our editors have spent countless hours behind the wheel of every brand-new or redesigned mainstream car sold in the U.S., and from that group we've chosen our Best Of Award winner. This year is no different, but at the same time, it's a little different.
This year, we've picked twins, the Scion FR-S and the Subaru BRZ, as our Best of 2013 Award winners. These two models, co-developed by the two companies, are nearly…
In 2012 Belknap Subaru enjoyed its first year, in its new location. We moved from and old steel building, which did not accurately represent the high quality of our people, and the service we offer. It did not offer our customers the amenities or comfort we were looking to provide. Our new location in Tilton is that place!
A beautiful facility is only half of what we believe our customers are looking for...service excellence, an experience that exceeds expectations, and vehicles that give our customers confidence to do, what they want to do, when they want to do it…

As we spend a night entertaining little ghouls, and goblins, it is important to remember that across much of the east coast, many of our fellow countryman are facing a very scary reality, Sandy has wrought horrible destruction everywhere she has visited.
It is important that each of us take a moment to reflect and say a quiet prayer for them in hopes that together we can help them get back on their feet very soon!
Tragedy brings out the best in us, even as we seek to understand why something bad has happened, we strive to reach out to…

Last Sunday, my wife was in the perfect mood to create, and…

Over the years I have talked to all kinds of people about what makes a good deal. It seems that there are a number of answers to this age old question. My personal belief is that a good deal is when value exceeds price, and the customer leaves satisfied that they have received the care and service they expect during the transaction. Car dealers and dealership employees often get a bum wrap...that's not to say that there aren't some people and places that have rightly earned that scorn, but the vast majority spend a lot of money…

2012 has been a magnificent year for Subaru! We have exceeded our sales goals...introduced new vehicles, and provided customers with the highest possible quality!
It is with mixed emotions that we close out this model year...and we still have a number of 2012 vehicles in stock that must be cleared to make way for the new inventory.
As such we have posted remarkable prices for these vehicles on our Web Site to make it easy to find a deal! We encourage all our customers to take a look to see if it might be the right time to…

When Captain James T. (Tiberius) Kirk said these words, those of us who enjoyed the adventures of the Enterprise and her crew, were whisked into the future, for an amazing look at strange new worlds.
The show tried to remain scientifically accurate and this aspect of the show made it all the more real to us viewers. Warp speed, phasers, teleportation, tricorders, and communication devices were all props from the future, but here we are in 2012 and, we may not be traveling at light speed, or being transported on light beam, but laser weapons are beginning to be deployed…
