We. Have. Thoughts. When Carvana jumps into the dealer space by taking control of one of the largest auction houses in the country, there is no doubt dealers will be pulling out their microscopes on the platform. We also welcome Patrick Abad to the podcast and are talking about how he leans into community and culture at his store.
