The old guys are used to seeing me on here ...probably too much.

Having retired a couple of years ago, I am on here less and less. Having been away for a couple of years, it is all passing me by and my old school ideas are less worthwhile.

42 years was a good ride but I don't miss the 60+ hour weeks. I would much rather be casting a line.

I seriously wish everyone the very best and great selling.

Doug - your posts and insight have been invaluable to the DealerRefresh community. And I, for one, have enjoyed having your humor around. Although I wish you'd hang around a bit longer, I wish you the best in full automotive retirement :thumbup:

Now, GTFO because you're making me jealous :D
