Dang CJ. Why couldn't you have hung in just a little longer, and got a contract like our friend Mike Trout? You could have bought PCNA and the other dealers out, and we could all get the cars we want at sticker

I was never as good of a player as mike trout. He is the best player that MLB has to put into a contract that size. Great player, nice guy, just not a car guy at all.

You're too humble CJ. Trout is a pretty burly dude-I had him pegged for a Panamera turbo

I'll agree with all of this. I bought my Carrera T from CJ's dealership, based primarily on his reputation and contributions on Rennlist. I have probably 10 other dealerships that are closer, but I liked what I heard. When I picked up the car with my daughter, he took the time to say hi and chat about cars for a bit. He's a class act, and i was happy to write the check to him.

All I can say is that I’ll second all the positive comments. I have had nothing but positive experiences. I’m always humbled when he seems to find time to talk to me. He’s a good family man, down to earth, competitive, a hard worker but also a witty jokester - The kind of guy/teammate you’d love to have in the dugout/clubhouse.

I met CJ some years ago at MSR Cresson, he was taking pictures of my CLK Black Series, so we talked cars, tracks and tires. I was Mike, he was CJ.
Later in the morning I see him getting into a Carrera GT and I ask, "what do you do that allows you such a nice car"?
He says, "Baseball".
Doh!
The light goes on! CJ Wilson!
I say, "Why aren't you at the park now"? It was gameday for the Texas Rangers.
He says, "I'm going there now."
He won my respect forever by just being another car guy.

I swear, CJ - if you wore some candy cane stripped short shorts, and roller skated around your showroom next Saturday, you'd have 10 giggling Rennlisters chasing you around your store trying to get an autograph. "There HE IS! There HE IS! OMG! He LOOKED AT ME!!!! OMG Taylor....HE LOOKED AT ME!"

barf.
You on the other hand are RL’s biggest troll.

I'll bite .

When compared to the rest of the pukes who pass as car "dealers", he CJ runs his business right. We are all so quick to chime in when someone is an @**hole; shouldn't we also be willing to do the same when they're not?

Im glad you had a great experience and I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new car. And for the record, I hope CJ is successful and gets his store turned around.
Oh I get it. I should have paid attention to n3rd. I just read through some of your other posts and it's now clear to me that you are smarter, kinder, and probably more wealthy and better looking than the rest of us. I'm sorry for getting in the way of your otherwise perfect day. My apologies. I'm sure CJ appreciates your support and backhanded compliments.
