Does this mean we might see you at the woodward dream cruise? I met Barry there a couple of years ago when he was getting footage for his "Car Crazy" show. If you can make it, let us know..........I'll drive you around in the Convertible if you want/can.
Let me know if you're going to the Meadowbrook Concours D'Elegance........I go there every year as well.
I'd tell you to have fun at the new job.....but I somehow think you are already doing that!
Thanks, I really appreciate that. As for Meadowbrook, well, I grew up in Rochester and attended Rochester Adams High School (was there the same time as Madonna of all people) and Oakland University. My mom still lives there so a trip to Meadowbrook would be a homecoming of sorts. I'd love to attend the Dream Cruise too - I've never been as they didn't start it until after I'd left Michigan. I might have to take you up on the offer!

I'm hoping to avoid the flashbacks. I did all my time on the sales side of things but got tired of fighting productiion and customer service. It seems that side of the business has really lost sight of what it's all about and I just couldn't put up with the frustration any longer. From what I've seen at Meguiar's, and from every single person I've met there - from the truck drivers and receptionist right up to Barry himself - Meguiar's is by far the most customer centric company I've ever encountered. That really drew me to them.

You'll never believe it, I am in commercial print, advertising and direct mail. Go figure.
