1,350 on the ground and counting down to liftoff

 Actually I need the Depends at this point.  It’s freezing cold, my people and dead tired, there is 1,350 units on the ground, it’s snowing, 300 more cars on the way, and I am **ssing in my pants.  Once again, we have a new world record pinched and primped, just for you, but they are coming at a tremendous cost on my mental stability (which I understand most of you have questioned in the past anyway) as well as testing the courage of our workers. 

 

We work from a tiny toilet of a shop packed full of courageous dedicated people.  And since it is a simple statistical fact that we are the largest volume single point car dealer in North America, bar nobody from California to Vancouver, Maine to Key West, I want to acknowledge the girls and guys busting their finger nails getting prepared for the self-imposed insanity that is happening this week in Manheim, 1,500 units sitting on the launch pad waiting for the auctioneers to count them down. 

 

As I warned you last time I am warning you all again…be prepared to take advantage of me because we have merch that cannot be found at any 20 cumulative auctions in the world and this ain’t a show and tell.  This is all caution to the wind, $35,000,000 on the table and chips will fall where they may set of sales starting with lane 10 and lane 15 Thursday, and lane 12, 15 and 16 Friday.  They are getting sold. 

 

The CR writers are way behind but are catching up (they are freezing their asses off too which is why the pictures look they took them under water with blind-folds on), but I am guaranteeing that if the picture sucks but you need the car, I will back anything you by that you feel you got schmeaked on due to horrific photos.  I see the same thing you do.  Photos that you can’t believe how bad they can be.  But believe me I am not here to hit and run.  I am here to be your “nothing to talk about” source of fresh trade-ins.  If some reason the photos got you in a trick bad, call me, I’ll get you correctified. 

Get your full winter gear and come, or shut your door at the dealership or at home and tell everybody to shut-up and leave you alone so you can do your homework.  This is serious bizz and the time is now to take advantage of the old geezer, me.  I not only want to sell, I got to sell or my wife will do like every other good Shining Path soldier would do, shoot my butt for being so stupid.

Got to go change my Depends,

Dig in,
