The value of relationship cannot be exaggerated and that's why I was asked to visit a dying customer and friend 17.05.2023

Send us Fan Mail I learned a lot about selling in my early days, like when to shut my mouth.

If you don't know what a TSB is, your car-life may never be a happy one 10.05.2023

Send us Fan Mail I hate acronyms. I understand the desire to abbreviate words and phrases to speed things up--that part makes sense, but when you are with someone who is throwing out acronyms like cuss words at Nascar race, then it's easy to get confused and slightly irritated.  BUT, the acronym "TSB" is one exception.....you need to hold on to that one...and I'll tell you what...

Send us Fan Mail Every quarter, I go back through my listeners text messages and emails to retrieve their most frequent questions, and quite frankly, they are pretty darn good questions.  Some may say this is common sense, but the only thing common about common sense is that its not very common....especially when it comes to car things.

If you are sick of having to subscribe to things, you will soon be sick of your car 28.04.2023

Send us Fan Mail We had a 2018 Ford F450 stolen off of our lot 3 weeks ago. We have still not been paid for the loss. The insurance company is trying to screw me (translation: they want to pay a car dealer (me) $10,000 less than my recent trade is worth).  The fact is, the truck has gone up in value $3000 since we traded for it.  As they say around here, "That ain't happ-nin"!

"You will buy and electric car and YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!"....Joe Biden 21.04.2023

Send us Fan Mail I never did like being told what to do. I can handle an inference, a suggestion or even a hint...but don't tell me what to do...especially, what to buy with my own money. Thats exactly what is happening in the EV space, and like other things, I ain't laying down. Email Lennie at lennielawson2020@gmail.com

Remember when taking SHOP CLASS wasn't cool....BIG mistake! 21.04.2023
