Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone! If I come across as a fanboy, no apologies because the road from my first Matchbox car (actually a Corgi Corvair) to Stella has a common thread and all of this for me is a natural part of self-actualization: Design, art, history, concept-to-market and afterservice- manufacturing, brand emotion, consumer behavior, and total fascination watching all of this happen from virtually a blank sheet of paper into a crowded and hotly competitive marketplace! And from a company out of the ashes without unlimited resources led by some guy named Marchionne who has managed to herd a bunch of crazy cats into a force for the future. All of this in a fashion industry, navigating political, regulatory, capital, and 1000 external forces for which there is no direct control.
We were Jeep shopping last November that brought us here to this brand so a lot of things happened in a short time to bring us to our affectionately (no offense intended). '***-Jeep'!
So let's party together and enjoy the ride.
