Dan,
You were just telling it like it is...it's all good.
If this guy is worried about his "REP" in the industry, then maybe he should be more knowledgeable about the product he's repping and selling...a little bit of knowledge goes a long way...a tiny bit of knowledge is dangerous.
Also being "upfront" about what's for sale will go a long way to help his reputation as a dealer in classic/muscle cars. I look forward to him signing up here
,
maybe we'll all learn something...
