I would never use this forum to attack the organization that allegedly represents the dealers but I am casting a skeptical raised eyebrow at some things that I am seeing here. I have applied many times. Of course I have been the top-rated keynote speaker at dozens of state dealer conventions, annual meetings, and local dealer conventions and literally hundreds of automobile industry events. Then on the other hand, I am trying to see it from their point of view. It might be more politically prudent to put a talking head up on the stage whose content is weak and less controversial.
Truth is the truth and that s all there is to that.
I have been pounded from all sides for speaking it many times. That is a lesson I learned long ago for which I owe a lifelong debt to The Brute. I am sure it will be old news. Remember I am writing these words on June 16 th . This week I became aware of the size and scope of the DMV investigation of Gunderson Chevrolet in Southern California.
