Thank you for the friend request. I as well, grew up in Cleveland, my dad has been in the car business for 31 years, he was GM of Paradise Pontiac Honda (now a Ganley group dealer) in North Olmsted for years until we moved to Las Vegas. I'm 4 yrs into the business, still at my original Ford dealer... guess it runs in the family :)

Happy New Year!!
