July

We are now in full swing summer and cars are flying out the door. This is our favorite time of year and one of our least favorite. We like it because cars are coming and going, we are creating new relationships and having fun welcoming them to The Motorsports Gallery family. That is really what we are, we are not your typical dealership. I had a customer call me a couple of months ago with an issue that they were having with one of their vehicles and even though it was 10:30 p.m. on a Wednesday, I got out of bed and helped. Now this car was sold to them over a year ago and was a complete operator error that caused the unfortunate event, I still went. That is what we do, we don't send you vanilla mass mailers announcing our blow out prices or service specials. We answer the phone when you need help.
The other reason we love the summer is that car show season is here and there are car shows galore to go and see every one's pride and joys on parade. The biggest is Pebble Beach, I can't wait. It is the one trip every year that we look forward to. The races, the show and running into people that you usually only get to see once a year and hang out with.
Another reason we like summer, did I mention cars.
The only reason we hate summer, hot leather seats. One of the most dreaded features of any summer time cruise. You park think it will only be a little while, then you come out pop into the seat and ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hot leather seat hits the back of your thighs. Nothing worse than have everyone checking your car out especially some good looking girl that you have no shot with, you open the door slide into the seat and instantly shoot straight out due to the charring of your thighs. Your attempt at recapturing your youth even your perceived level of coolness from a yesteryear gone, sacrificed to the sun god or sun demon in this case.
