[DeTomaso] What Do You Tell People??

[Jeff Cobb]

Very well said Steve and as we tell those who ask us about our cars, we need to know if are they truly interested in hearing our answer or just tire kickers.
Most people can and will never be excited about our cars as we are. Now when that excitable person comes along we are treated to a cool event. We teach and they learn and we both walk away better people. I love it when I see something so rare and fine and the owner gets excited telling me about it as I do listening. 
It is not the parts nationality that they give a care about but the mystic moment that our car provides them and how it fulfills some unique part of their psyhce, basically we are selling the sizzle not the steak concept.
