Which Automotive Communities and People inspire you?

Great post Brian!!

I have been prowling these sites for a few years but I'd have to say the only one that keeps me interested is Dealer Refresh. The forum was a great addition.

Keep it up Jeff/Alex and the rest of the crew.
 
The survey now has over 200 votes which is good and bad. I would have thought that more active members of the automotive community existed and would take the survey willingly.

So, please pass the word about the survey and let's try to get a larger cross-section of dealers across the USA.

Send an email to your 20 group members or your NADA classmates.

DealerRefresh is an amazing community and Alex and Jeff should be thanked by everyone who has benefited.

I also want to thank the many others who seek to share and challenge....like Joe Pistell.

Jerry, sorry about the spelling...I will see if I can change it while the survey is live but I don't think I can.

I hope to see many of you at DD9 and DSES. I am speaking on Wednesday Oct 13th at 3:30 at DD9.

Thanks to everyone that has voted so far.

One would think there would be more votes by now..we will continue to do our part to get the survey out there in front of more people.

DR readers, please vote and spread about. Answer the survey honestly - this isn't about "DealerRefresh" and we would never solicit your vote but take the survey - its all in fun.

5 Years ago when DealerRefresh was started, you only had the print publications to look forward to. Now we have several resources to read and gather great information from. We are all doing our part to better this industry and that's the exciting part.

Brian, I'll be at DD9. Looking forward to catching up.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A forum member shares a survey asking automotive professionals which online communities and people inspire them, with DealerRefresh emerging as a clear favorite among respondents. The thread draws appreciation for DR founders Jeff and Alex, highlights the growth of digital automotive resources over the past five years, and encourages broader participation to get a more representative cross-section of industry voices. The underlying theme is community gratitude and a recognition that peer-driven online resources have largely replaced print publications as the go-to industry knowledge base.
