Happy 40th anniversary to a classic! August 2nd, 1985 we heard some awesome jams, had some great laughs and also learned that you can’t go around hitting people with your Rex Harrison hat!

Still questioning video in car sales… in 2025?
After a lil (okay, a lot of) resistance, I bet on video, personally, and signed us up for MinMax Video. The results? 39 of 48 deals in June came from customers who watched their personalized video 3 or more times!

Craig Breedlove was one of my earliest motorsports heroes after I read his biography as a youngin. The Spirit of America Sonic 1 is such and iconic piece of history I hope the new owners allow fans access to it...

Just before the holiday @kathikruse.bsky.social and I chatted about a subject that is near and dear to us: Google My Business, aka Google Business Profiles, super helpful in local SEO/search and adding photos regularly is a best practice. Listen in here:

I was already a TFF fan but early in 1985 the whole world became fans when Songs From The Big Chair hit. One of my fav flicks, Real Genius cemented this song's place in my heart and I always want to go play in the popcorn when I hear that opening!

Q: When headphones are plugged in and your ‘jam’ comes on how many times do you continue to press the volume up button after it reaches maximum?
Me: About eleventy hundred.... 😜

Looking back at 2024, it was a helluva a ride! As I glance in the rearview mirror, I'm thankful for the memories, milestones, and miles shared.
Here's to leaving 2024 in the dust and gearing up for an incredible journey ahead in 2025. Cheers to new roads and new adventures!
Happy New Year!
Happy Birthday to wicked awesome dude Terry Bozio! My first love of his amazing talent was with Missing Persons and then I learned that he started his career with some dude named Frank Zappa and that began a long fall down a rabbit hole I still enjoy here and there!

The hero car from the King of Cool’s iconic racing film Le Mans is headed to auction. Speculation says it’ll fetch north of $20 mil, good thing I have my own in scale to race around the home office desk!
