“...We help somebody figure out how to afford a car so they can go see their mom in the nursing home....how to pick up kids from school on time. How to get to work on time....We enable transportation in people's lives so they can connect with friends and family and get to work and live their life and get to church and everything else....But the goal of all of this is to build relationships with customers so that they can live their lives the way they want to, and we can help them do that. You're going to sell a lot of cars.” - Eric Flow on The Walk Around podcast
