The husband knows his toys! You should've added that your car is also not stock and has serious $$$$ mods on it too!

i think what he means to say is that the car really helps seal the deal.
i know cuz it helps my buisness a lot. It's really not hte car, it's projection of success that they are looking at. You can dress professional and present yourself in that manner as well.
just my 2 cent.

In my business I deal with major national grocery Chain Store buyers and always borrow one of my kids' cars for an appointment, just in case "the green-eyed monster" raises its ugly head!

I've done business with Peter B and can vouch --- extremely quick and professional, and definately can back his sh*t up... I'd recommend him to anyone

Why do you think it's all DIY?
