This is the window sticker for The Rooster. She came from MS, I bought her in AR(kansas), and brought her home to TN. That was 12 years and 191,500+ miles ago. I bought my 2005 Forester because the research kept leading me right back to it. I needed a vehicle I could drive anywhere at anytime and feel safe and confident. So I finally bought the car I’d been dreaming about. I’m still in love with my Forester today.  I walk out into parking lots and look at it and think, “I friggin’ love this car.” And when a life change came around and I was moving to Asheville, I thought to myself, “What do I want to do (for a living)?”  I want to be of service, whatever I do. And... 1. I love working with people. 2. I enjoy teaching. 3. I love my car. **Poof!**   You should sell Subarus., I thought. Wait, what?, I replied to my epiphany. You should sell Subarus!, my epiphany said again emphatically. **long skeptical pause** Hmm. Interesting., I thought.

And, voila! I’m a Subaru Sales Specialist/Internet Sales Manager at Prestige Subaru in Asheville, NC. Started in October 2014 having never sold cars before. Intimidating? You bet. Rewarding? You bet. 
I’ve helped young folks buy their first Subaru and see a dream come true. I’ve helped parents trade up into a bigger Subaru as their families grow. I’ve helped grown women negotiate the process of buying a car for the first time ever. I’ve helped widowers trade in two cars for one because they can’t bear to drive their wife’s car anymore because it still smells like her. I’ve helped seniors buy what will “probably be the last car [they’ll] ever own.” The people I’ve met along the way are the unexpected reward of this job. 
1.  I help people buy Subarus. 2.  I teach people about Subarus. 3.  And I STILL love my car.
