      Don't be so quick to make such blanket statements. You might be very surprised to learn that many other persons with first-hand business experience (including me) may beg to differ. Don't be fooled by the cloaks of high society and secret organisations that some people wear to deflect real attention from their rotten core! It will all be revealed in time!

      There are usually two sides to the same coin. Be careful about making such blanket statements about one's character. Some persons are easily bought by such individuals. Others are smart enough to discern evil and selfish intentions and may suffer the consequences from not being drawn into a deceitful web. I speak from experience! All that glitters is not gold for sure!

    The first question I would have is, were there any electric vehicles in the lot ? They have been documented having combustion issues.

    "You have good X Police that will take $11.00 per hr. I am one."

    Yes sah. perhaps we can hire you to man the flipping police station when you are off duty. Police here got 3-4 jobs and well know they weren't brought here to be doing that. You all got too many special privileges. Biggest pay rocking gold and still want more? At least tell us you think the station should be open 24/7.

    that are unsold must be stored on the seller''s property, preferably indoors in a warehouse so the buyers gets value for their money. Storing new vehicles outdoors in the weather on leased property with inadequate security makes them USED vehicles with much lower values.
