Thursday Portrait.....






.

Unlike some of the other jobs that I've had in my eons on this planet, once in a while you meet people that just break the mold. I sold an Impala to a very nice couple, Jim and Kim. They had been treated very shabbily at several other dealerships, but for some reason we just hit it off famously! Usually it's the sales consultant's duty to send a Thank You...And I ALWAYS do! But about two weeks after the sale, I came into work and this envelope with a Home-Made Card and some CD's were inside. The music was very diverse and interesting, and it included a burned DVD. The movie was a very odd choice, but it certainly made me think of something else thats of interest to me...Can you guess what?
See Ya Friday....
Peace...!!!
