Re: END OF THE LINE
Meet Mr Dan Tobin at his Pontiac store in Ohio several years ago when we were there for a Pontiac Vibe club meeting and show. He was a very nice guy, I could see him giving you a chance.
Richard, Dan is a go-getter with a big smile and the willingness to take a risk to move ahead, and he did ...

END OF THE LINE
I am often a man of too many words, but to praise all that helped me make the last 40 years and seven months a memorable career, I wanted to post this topic in appreciation. We often fail to count our blessings amid the stress and pressure of daily deadlines.

Re: Lanter Delivery is killing me
Hey folks, I like to eat, wheat harvest is over but JD parts are important, let the highest bidder get the first priority. GM needs to step up to the plate, but do they really care that much about a captive audience? I mean is NAPA or your AC Delco WD gonna have a grille and door handle for a Volt?

Re: Odd request - older Buick dealers
Head over to a church on sunday morning, catch some sweet little elderly lady getting out of her Regal and ask her if you can borrow her owners manual for an hour while she is in church, then take it to the dealership and make a copy for your use. Give her a free car wash at the store for her ...
