Helping you drive toward your dreams
Otto always loved cars. As a kid, he spent hours and hours racing his Hot Wheels. Once he got a little older, he helped his dad work on cars. They even restored a classic ’57 Chevy together. Then there was the MGB that he got to work on starting in his teens.
But when he was 18, his dad died, and everything changed. His mom, weary of the old cars she had endured over the years, decided it was time for something shiny and new. She went to the local dealer and tried to trade them in, but according to the dealer, they had practically no value. Otto knew otherwise, because he had an amazing memory...a “picture memory” his classmates called it. He had memorized every classic MGB and Chevy price across the country. But no one would listen.
His mom fell in love with a car that was far more than she needed. Three-hundred horse-power, leather seats, built-in massage seats in the back. But she just had to have it. And in spite of Otto’s sensing this was a bad idea, and his protestations that she was paying too much, she bought the car. Otto just knew that trouble would come.
A couple months later it did. With the family’s finances depleted trying to afford the payments on the car, they fell behind on the payments and the car was repossessed. The old cars were gone, the new car was repossessed, and the family’s finances were in ruin.
The family needing him, Otto had no choice but to drop out of college to open a repair shop. His dreams of going to college and becoming an automotive engineer were gone.
Otto soon realized he could help people avoid the fate that befell his family. With his “picture memory” he could memorize the prices, features and options of every car in the area and let people know they could do better. Plus, he realized he could sense a “vibe” on people who were about to get in over their heads...even from miles away.
Today, when he senses the “vibe,” that combination of fear, excitement and uncertainty that he recognized from that day in the dealer showroom with his mom, he jumps into his specially built rocket car and speeds to the dealership and intervenes on behalf of the beleaguered individual.
Otto knows how easy it is to get in over your head—to get carried away by a salesman’s spiel, a shiny paint job on a hunk of junk...and what this bad decision can do to your family, your finances...your dreams.
