DougC 2,641 #14 Posted November 7, 2016 I retired early in 2013. My boss sold the car dealership to a company that didn't want any old people. I said goodbye, good luck and don't bother to call me and try and hire me back when the young guys you hire for peanuts with no experience can't fix anything....... They called and I hung up on them! Enjoy retirement! I sure am! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
