anyone shopping at Ferrari newport, palm springs or san diego is buying from a billionaire.

anyone shopping at a Lithia store is buying from a billionaire, same with Penske or Autonation.

how do those experiences stack up?

@RG88 I definitely did not say "as long as I get cool cars I don't care about making money" -- my dealership stuff is so I can afford to RACE, which is a huge money toilet. Now that I have my land and construction plans secured for the newest Gen5 store, I will begin a new phase of my dealer journey.

It's WAY CHEAPER to buy cool cars or be a car collector than it is to be a dealership owner for these types of brands...however you get zero writeoffs if you're a retired MLB player with a car collection. So, in terms of 'making your money work' something like a dealership can provide a decent salary and lifestyle benefits that I was definitely not going to be able to afford if I went into coaching (80% of MLB Managers make 300-500k a year) along with the crappy travel side (gone for 6-7 months a year)

life as a dealer is good except when I have to discount the heck out of Audis to sell them...then it's just like any other job. BMW and Audi are more realistic job type roles and Porsche dealer GM is way way more fun.
