Accepted a position today.
 

It is a little more powerful a job than I wanted at this point in my life,but since the owner sought me out, how could I say no?:D I will be the wholesale manager for one of the larger Hyundai-Toyota dealers in the state.I did this for a big dealer group 25 years ago and the money is fantastic,but I was basically gone all week and I was 25 years younger.:p I narrowed down my choices to 5 last week and kept going back to this one.Still bummed out about what happened at my dealership,I was so happy ,but life ain't fair sometimes and you are forced into change.Maureen was involved in the decision,so I know I made the right choice.

Way to go, Gary. I knew you'd hit the ground running somewhere else.

Congrats Gary, good luck with your new venture.

Congrats Gary ,I knew things would work out.

Well that didnt take long. Congratulations!

Good luck Gary, I knew it wouldn't take you long. Like you said, life isn't always fair but many people would love to be in your position. You'll make it work for you.

Looks like the Chevelle will be finished on time now you are going back to work, or does this mean you won't have time to work on it? again Congrats.

Ray

Thanks for all the well wishes my friends.Since I won't be working weekends,yes it should be done on time.:)

Congrats Gary. I know the last job situation was hard for you, but you have to feel very good that you were hired by someone who sought you out and really wants you. I am so happy for you !!!
I know you cared about the other guys who worked with you. Did you keep in contact with any of them ? If so, how are they doing? Would you consider recommending them for a position with your new company, once you are in the door?

Does this mean you will now be driving a Prius?

Congrats on the new venture, I know you wanted a little slower paced deal but at least your working and will be able to pay the bills.

Yeah,right. I'm somehow gonna try to sneak a Pacafica in the inventory.Really.

So tomorrow is the big day, isn't it Gary ? I wish you all the best of luck. We all know you are going to be great at your job. Just remember us when you come across that old Chevelle sitting on the side of the road with a phone number in the window. Just kidding...good luck, and let us know how things are going.

Hey I wonder if I can get my post count up since you are going to be a little busy.

Gary ,good luck tomorrow .

Thanks guys.:) Hey ,I got a job,not a prison sentence,try your best Nancy.;)

All I know is that if you're a used car joint, and you have a Pacifica inventoried, you better watch out, grandsport is going to use jedi mind control on you and by it for $2k under wholesale.

No one will every catch Grandsport on the post count. He's the master of that.:ntwrthy::ntwrthy:

Hope you had a great day.

Gonna take this old dog a while to get used to the system.:)

Amen to that !!!

:banana::drunk:Waving

glad to see a local pa member doing good things good luck!!

So Gary...let's hear all about the new job !

First off,I really don't have my own office.:mad: But I guess that is ok,as I'll never really be in the dealerships.It will take a week or so until get used to using an Iphone with their buying system and the instant car fax.I'll even get a paint meter to use which is good cause my eyes ain't what they used to be.:p It will be ok,just gonna take a while. No more weekends really has me excited,to be sure.:banana:Gotta get up a 5am wednesdays to be at the sale by 8.
