Marine dealers are facing a brutal Q2—sales down 33%, tariffs up, and closures looming. But there's a way forward. In this episode, we break down the data, the ripple effect on PowerSports and Harley, and share a 4-step plan to create deals, accept more deals, boost F&I, and lock in service customers.If you're in the industry, this episode is a must-listen to turn the tide before Q3 slips away.

Today on CarEdge Live, Ray and Zach discuss the latest data on Toyota inventory and the challenges it is creating. Tune in to learn more.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1124: Today we break down the latest Fixed Ops Golden Metrics, showing where service departments are winning and where there's room to grow. We also look at how dealer inventory has returned to pre-tariff “normal” levels, and why Atlantans are playing cancellation games just to ride in a Waymo robotaxi.The Fixed Ops Golden Metrics 2025 report from Reynolds and Reynolds highlights how service departments are stacking up in hours, labor rates, and RO profits—plus the big gains from technician efficiency tools.Dealers are grouped two ways—by urban classification (Major Urban, Metro, Community, Rural) and by 5 volume classes based on monthly customer-pay ROs: Class 1: 1,200.High-volume Class 5 stores topped 3,000 hrs/month. Major Urban averaged 1,613 hrs/month vs. Rural at 490. Major Urban led profit per RO at $414, Rural just $225. Class 1 averaged $400, dropping to $243 in Class 5.Using recommendation software added +0.5 hrs/RO, +$18 ELR, and +$62 profit/RO—worth $9K more profit/month for a 150-RO store.After months of tariff shocks and supply swings, dealer lots look familiar again. The average automaker now has a 73-day supply of new cars — right on the industry's long-term target.Lots once ran as high as 89 days of supply during early tariff panic.Inventories plunged to 66 days when 25% tariffs first hit but have since recovered.Despite costs, prices rose just 1.5% YoY as automakers and dealers absorbed tariffs.Some brands buck the trend: Toyota/Lexus are tight with just over a month of supply, while Ram and Land Rover sit on four months' worth.Waymo has expanded beyond its California and Arizona roots, bringing robotaxis to Atlanta. But there's a catch: you can only hail one through Uber, and it's not guaranteed.Riders can select “Prefer Waymo” in the Uber app, but often get matched with human drivers.Some Atlantans cancel ride after ride—one reporting 20 cancellations on average—just to snag a Waymo.Waymo has only dozens of vehicles in the city now, with plans to grow to hundreds in coming years.Riders can improve their odds by staying inside the 65-square-mile service zone, avoiding highways, and riding outside peak times.As one rider put it, “The fact that it's so challenging to get has turned it into a game.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:08 We'll be at the NAMAD Annual Meeting next week1:45 Webinar on Dealer Reputation Tomorrow2:26 Fixed Ops Golden Metrics from Reynolds and ReynoldsJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

The Underground Lounge hits Atlanta for a special live taping with two comedy powerhouses, Ronnie Jordan and K Dubb, and the energy does not let up from the moment they hit the stage. Lou and Spank sit down with the Atlanta and Memphis-bred comedians to swap hilarious stories about the grind, the game, and the kind of moments you can only get from years of killing stages across the country.From their very first nights on the mic in the early 2000s to becoming respected veterans in the scene, Ronnie and K Dubb break down how they found their voices, learned to read a room, and built careers in two of the toughest cities for stand-up Atlanta and New York — where bombing can end you before you start. They share unfiltered stories from Uptown Comedy Club, touring with major acts, connecting with names like T.I., and watching the comedy hustle change with the rise of viral videos and internet personalities.The laughs keep rolling as they get into the art of creating material, how real-life situations turn into stage gold, and why some comedians can't make the jump from skits to stand-up. They trade favorite comedy movie lists, roast bad performances, and give flowers to legends like J.B. Smoove who inspired them early on. In true Underground Lounge fashion, the “F**K IT BUCKET” makes an appearance, sparking off-the-wall confessions and wild tangents about sex, relationships, and stories you won't hear anywhere else.Ronnie and K Dubb also talk upcoming projects, life on the road, and why after decades in the game they're still chasing that next laugh like it's their first. Between the jokes, the behind-the-scenes gems, and the live Atlanta crowd, this episode is a crash course in comedy culture from two voices who've seen it all, and are still having a damn good time doing it.

Today Joey McGlamory of @Dealers of Hope USA and Dan McDonald of @Spartan join the show to discuss the upcoming championship races in Orlando the weekend of November 8th in Orlando Florida. This episode is special because this is a project that Joey adn Dan have been working onfor years with an advisory council and it is finally coming to fruition. Please take a minute to listen to this one and take some notes as there are some rules for the Para Championship event discussed and in October Dan and Joey will be back on to go over everything again.#Dohusa #beastnetpod #spartanparaworldchampionships #spartanrace #overcomingobstacles #carryyouintothelight #adaptiveathlete

When you look at a tire, the tread pattern seems like a given... but that wasn't always the case. Over a century ago, tires were just smooth rubber. That changed in the early 1900s when Continental unveiled the first-ever hand-carved tread pattern at the Frankfurt Auto Show, a move that transformed how tires deliver traction, braking, and steering.To mark 120 years since that invention, we sat down with Barry Terzaken, Product Manager at Continental, to explore how tread design has evolved and where it's headed next.From Hand-Carved Grooves to Specialized PatternsThe first tread was simple: circumferential grooves cut into the tire to help it steer and grip on wet or muddy roads. Terzaken explained that Continental hand-carved early designs to experiment with performance, a practice they still use today alongside advanced simulation and AI modeling.“[Adding tread] was really an astounding change. You have to go back a little bit farther because you're talking about the dawn of private mobility in vehicles at this time,” said Terzaken. “There were needs for traction, there was needs for braking and steering ability. And at the Frankfurt Auto Show, this is the first introduction of an actual hand carved tread pattern. This is where Continental came in.”Modern Continental Tread Pattern Designs Built for Every DriverToday, tread design is highly specialized. Ultra-high-performance summer tires feature asymmetric patterns for cornering grip. Winter and wet-weather tires use directional V-shaped grooves to channel water and snow. Every day, passenger tires often use symmetric patterns to allow easy rotation.Terzaken highlighted how much engineering goes into every detail, even the small ones."If you look at a lot of our all-season tire grooves, they have little teeth called traction grooves," he explained. "With those little teeth inside that groove, now all of a sudden the groove is giving you traction in a condition where you really need traction, for example." 120 Years, and Still Carving the FutureWhat started as a hand-carved experiment in 1904 is now a field driven by AI, simulation, and thousands of patents. But as Terzaken reminded us, it's still about one thing: giving drivers the grip, control, and confidence they need on the road.Check out the full episode to see how Continental is celebrating 120 years of tread pattern innovation and pushing the limits of tire design for the next century.Tire Review: www.tirereview.comHunter Engineering: www.hunter.com

We're still striking where the iron is hot in the culture right now with another well-connected and well-respected figure from the Michigan scene, this time to discuss a controversial topic amongst cultivators of all sizes—the utilization (or underutilization) of beneficial predatory bugs, especially in indoor grow spaces.Blackleaf is joined in the FSOTD studio by Nick Zimmer, founder of Plantsman Group, a company breaking the stigma daily on the beneficial bugs needed to keep your grow in a state of utter homeostasis without having to use hardly any chemical pesticides. And don't worry, the topic of whether you can run a grow chemical and pesticide-free with just beneficial bugs does come up.Our host seriously came with his list of questions this time, certifiably, as no stone is left unturned in terms of topics surrounding ideal cycles for adding beneficial bugs and when to remove them, whether bugs really poop in the buds, best practices so you're not burning your crop in week 5 or 6, the history of the legacy market in Michigan, using bugs with DWC, dealing with aphids, utilizing nematodes to solve fungus gnat issues, the beneficial bug starter pack, and so much more.For those unaware of the credentials surrounding Nick and Plantsman, here are the cliffnotes.

Send us a textThe artificial intelligence revolution isn't coming—it's already here. For equipment dealerships caught in the crossfire of technological disruption, adaptation isn't just recommended; it's essential for survival.When Ron Wilson attended a birthday party and learned that two people's children had recently lost their jobs to AI, it spurred him to investigate how these technologies are transforming our industry. What he discovered challenges conventional thinking: rather than competing against AI, success lies in thoughtful integration of these powerful tools.Throughout our conversation, we explore the real-world implementation of AI across dealership operations. From revolutionizing diagnostics—where machines can now be scanned before a technician arrives—to subscription-based monitoring services that predict failures before they occur, AI is reshaping customer expectations and service delivery. One dealership's monitoring team identified a pattern where an excavator overheated consistently during shift changes when less experienced operators took control, saving the customer significant downtime and troubleshooting costs.The human element remains irreplaceable, however. Jobs requiring emotional intelligence and customer service skills still require the personal touch that AI cannot replicate. The challenge lies in effectively managing workforce transition—identifying early adopters who can champion new technologies while helping fence-sitters see the value in adaptation. As experienced employees near retirement, preserving institutional knowledge becomes increasingly critical.Whether you're actively implementing AI solutions or just beginning to explore possibilities, this conversation provides practical insights for navigating the changing landscape. The most important takeaway? Don't wait for OEMs or competitors to lead the way—proactive adaptation is the key to maintaining competitive advantage in an increasingly technology-driven industry.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1109: Today we're digging into Ford's $3B tariff troubles, why commercial EV fleets are booming even as consumer demand cools, and how OpenAI's new “Study Mode” could change the way students learn (without just handing out the answers).Show Notes with links:Ford Motor is bracing for a tougher financial year as U.S. tariffs on vehicles, steel, and aluminum cut deeper than expected. Shares dipped 3% after the automaker raised its tariff cost estimate by half a billion dollars.Q2 results were down $800 million from tariffs, less than GM's $1.1 billion hit.Full-year tariff cost now projected at $3 billion, up from $2.5 billion.Ford sees 80% of U.S. sales from domestic production, cushioning some impact.CFO Sherry House said tariffs on Mexico and Canada stayed higher for longer than expected, with steel and aluminum levies adding to the strain.CEO Jim Farley: “We see there's a lot of upside depending on how the negotiation goes with the administration.”While consumer EV demand has cooled, the commercial EV market is charging forward, with fleet operators driving massive growth. The shift presents new opportunities — and challenges — for dealers, utilities, and policymakers.Commercial EV registrations soared 274% to nearly 25,000, led by delivery vans, utility trucks, and big rigs.Class 2 EVs used for work jumped 69%, while light consumer EVs slipped 2%.Amazon already runs 25,000 Rivian vans, building its own charging network of 32,000+ stations.Dealers remain a critical link, but many fleets report visiting stores where sales teams weren't ready to support EV conversions.Calstart's Jacob Richard said state incentives and programs are key “When looking at that total cost of ownership, you kind of need to have those upfront incentives in the near term.”OpenAI is taking a swing at the “CheatGPT” label with a major update designed to help, not hand out answers.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1102: Today, we're unpacking the Detroit 3's tariff turmoil with Japan, exploring how "Auction 2.0" is reshaping used-car sourcing, and tracking Delta's AI-driven pricing turbulence as Senators demand answers. The U.S. automakers GM, Ford, and Stellantis are pushing back against a new trade deal lowering Japanese auto tariffs to 15%, while tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports stay at 25%. The Detroit 3 warn this imbalance threatens U.S. auto jobs and industry.Matt Blunt of the American Automotive Policy Council says any deal that favors Japanese imports over high-U.S.-content North American vehicles is “a bad deal for U.S. industry and auto workers.”President Trump boasts of a “massive deal” with Japan involving $550 billion in investments and tariff cuts, calling it a historic win for U.S. automakers.Details remain murky on whether Japanese cars and parts will get carve-outs from existing tariffs; the deal comes as Trump threatens to hike tariffs on Mexico and Canada.U.S.-Japan talks included Japan's chief trade negotiator meeting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who says negotiations are “going very well.”Japanese automakers continue investing in U.S. production, with significant commitments from Isuzu and Toyota, aiming to boost local manufacturing despite tariff concerns.According to recent data from Cox Automotive, NADA, and BCG, the traditional used-car auction model is failing franchised dealers due to rising fees, transport costs, and poor condition reports. Dealers are shifting fast to private-party acquisitions (PPA), creating a more local and cost-effective supply.Auction-sourced dealer inventory fell from 27% in 2019 to 18% in 2023, while private-party sourcing grew from 10% to 15%.Buy fees have increased by about 50%, transport costs are up roughly a third, and lane prices remain inflated, squeezing dealer margins.The Manheim Index peaked at 234 in early 2023, but lane conversion rates dropped to 58-64%, below the 70% pre-pandemic norm.NADA projects private-party sales will hit 40% of the used market by 2025, signaling a permanent market shift.According to Sen. Ruben Gallego and other senators, Delta's new AI-based ticket pricing strategy could unfairly hike costs based on individual passenger data. Senators worry this could squeeze consumers financially during tough economic times.Senators are demanding clarity on what data Delta uses and how widely the AI pricing will be implemented, currently 3% but planned for 20% of routes by year-end.Delta says the AI tech streamlines longstanding dynamic pricing and denies using personal data for individualized offers.Critics worry AI could push prices to each consumer's “pain point,” risking predatory pricing amid inflation pressures.Delta preJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Future-Proofing with Leasing: Understanding emerging trends and new legislation can reshape dealership strategies and consumer interactions.   In the world of automotive sales, achieving outstanding success demands both innovation and a keen understanding of market dynamics. The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast provides a treasure trove of insights through candid discussions with industry insiders. The conversations with Sean V. Bradley and automotive experts Rammy Joudeh and Dayne Thornicroft underscore pivotal themes in today's automotive marketplace. By examining the strategies of top sellers, the role of innovative marketplaces, and the reshaping landscape due to new legislation, it becomes clear how these elements synergize to redefine success in car sales. Harnessing the Cody Carter Model: Strategic Success in Car Sales Cody Carter stands as a beacon of success in the automotive industry, consistently achieving remarkable sales numbers. His multifaceted strategy serves as a blueprint for other salespeople aiming to elevate their performance. As Sean V. Bradley notes, "Success leaves clues." Carter's approach is not just about exceptional interpersonal skills but about strategically positioning himself where the customers are: "He lives where the shoppers hang out," states Rammy Joudeh. Carter leverages several key tactics. His utilization of Facebook groups allows him to connect with potential buyers effectively. His expertise in leasing, specifically through self-service pricing platforms such as Least Genius, empowers customers with the information they crave, thus enhancing the buying experience. Moreover, Carter's strategic alliances with auto brokers create a pipeline for consistent, qualified leads. Understanding and implementing these elements can drive significant improvements in a salesperson's business model. Dealers and sales professionals need to adopt a mindset of continuous learning and adaptation, leveraging environments where customers are most active. Redefining Transparency in Car Dealerships with Marketplaces In an era where trust and transparency hold paramount importance, marketplaces like AutoBandit emerge as revolutionary platforms for dealerships. These marketplaces are transforming the car sales landscape by providing risk-free opportunities to connect buyers and dealerships. "We want to perform; if we don't perform, that's on us," says Rammy Joudeh, emphasizing the accountability and confidence embedded in their model. AutoBandit, as highlighted by Dayne Thornicroft, offers a unique approach by integrating transparency into the transaction process. With practices such as running soft credit apps, verifying IDs, and securing deposits upfront, the marketplace minimizes friction between buyer and dealership. This ensures that only qualified buyers engage, enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction. By shifting focus to such platforms, dealerships can drive customer confidence and improve sales. They provide an avenue to bypass traditional lead generation pitfalls by creating seamless experiences that culminate in qualified, delivery-ready prospects. Navigating the Legislative Landscape: Impacts and Opportunities New legislation, particularly the recent "big beautiful bill," holds the potential to reshape the automotive industry. As Dayne Thornicroft outlines, significant aspects of these legislative changes include adjustments to EV rebates, impacting leasing's attractiveness. "Leasing a hybrid and an ev… their penetration rates… are much, much higher," he states, reflecting the growing importance of understanding these market shifts. The implications for car sales lie in adapting to these changes proactively. By capitalizing on current benefits, such as EV lease incentives before they phase out, dealerships can enhance their value proposition to customers. Such foresight ensures dealerships remain competitive amidst evolving legislative environments. Moreover, the conversation among the podcast's hosts touches on an evolving market ethos—consumers now expect pricing transparency. With the enforcement of initiatives like the Cars Act waning, responsibility falls on dealerships to maintain trust through integrity and openness, ultimately nurturing long-term customer relationships. Synthesizing Market Dynamics for Unparalleled Success The wisdom imparted through conversations on the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast encapsulates key elements essential for domination in the car sales arena. From Cody Carter's strategic mastery to the disruptive innovations introduced by marketplaces like AutoBandit, and through the lens of crucial legislative shifts, a holistic understanding of these dynamics is vital. Dealers and sales professionals are encouraged to analyze and incorporate these insights, strategically aligning themselves with proven practices while remaining flexible to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. In doing so, they not only secure their success but redefine the standards of excellence in the automotive industry, paving the path for a future where knowledge, transparency, and strategic acumen drive unparalleled success.     Resources: AutoBandit: Looking for a better way to move inventory and close more deals?
