The First Pencil
Kathi Kruse and Mike The Car Guy Correra are best friends, with many many years of retail experience in the car biz. "We decided to get together and talk about the things that are important to us in the auto industry, and hope you’ll come along for the ride. We’ll cover auto industry stuff, dealership profitability, and digital platforms, all with a dose of humor and our love for 80s/90s music. Join us!"

Seasonal Shift
It’s Springtime and that means new beginnings, fresh starts, and positive changes. When it comes to dealership operations, it’s the opportunity to update outdated processes that may be costing you money.
Join Kathi and Mike as we share some of our dealership process experiences, positive and not-so-positive. What we learned might inspire you to explore outdated things in your own world.
In our music segment:
Time is coming soon for the 40th anniversary of US Festival 1983. Here’s a Youtube video on “New Wave Day” with INXS, The Clash and many more.
Steve Wozniak, if you’re out there, please hear our plea to make a documentary about this awesome festival.
If you're a car person (worked/working in dealerships like us) we want to hear from you. Email either (or both) of us!
