Go Home, Go Home, Go Home Now Let’s Make ‘Come Back’ Work
If this title feels like a lyric from a confusing song, that’s because the message has been just as mixed. For years, it was all “Go home, stay remote, stay safe”—a chorus sung on repeat.

TRUMP mandate. How will it affect your dealership?
Many of you probably had your 2025 plan in place before the election. If I had to guess, there is about a 50/50 split between those expecting higher taxes and regulation and those looking for lower taxes and less regulation.
