POGer in the NEWS

Great article about Rick DeSilvia in this week's Automotive News. Tells his history and struggles getting where he is today. A lot of it reminded me of years ago when I had similar struggles building car dealerships and dealing with the "government idiots" Hope you have much more success. Ed

Thats what I am talking about - the real American Dream....hard work and perserverance in pursuit of your vision. Congrats Rick.

Great story. I relate some what as I was a Subaru dealer for 17 years. The phone rang one day years ago wanting to know if I would sell and how much. We sold and have not been gainfully employed since. The car business was great for us.

Congrats on the story Rick. Appears to be a well deserved pat on the back.

I know there are a lot of these kinds of stories in POG because I have been fortunate enough to hear a few of them. I am proud to be associated with this group and the slice of American pie that it represents.

There is no such thing as "flying under the radar" with this organization! Thank you for your kind comments. Believe me I never take a day for granted, this is a great country we live in, now if I can prevent what I worked for from being redistributed I'll be OK.

If you can do that Rick you will really make the news.

Rick,

Congratulations on a really nice article and wishing you continued success in your business.

New Jersey can sure use the tax revenue........

Rick, just a wonderful article about a very determined and accomplished man who also includes rescue animals in his showroom:-) The article was indeed great, however what all of you likely don't know is that Rick has a Pilots N Paws slideshow of our transports running all the time at his dealership! Thank you Rick, you are very much appreciated!

Fantastic! I am so proud to be a member of this great group (POG)! We can only hope that a little bit of the class exhibited by many of our members will rub off on me some day!
