    Describe your most memorable experience working in the car business: Many years back, the first used car I had ever delivered was a Nissan Maxima to a Czech couple. They had a tenuous grasp of the english language, as well as for our highway traffic laws. The test drive was terrifying. I was not sure which was worse, the speed at which they were driving or the blatent disregard for traffic signals. When they arrived to pick up the car, in very broken english they tried to explain to me that they needed to "toast" their purchase with me. So we went down to the car, and they proceeded to spread an ornamental towel out across the trunk lid and set out shot glasses and a bottle of brandy. We spent an hour doing "toasts" to whatever was holy, and I think I learned to speak czech that day. Let's just say I had to go home early that day.
    "What a great business" I thought.
