As I was driving past Holbert's last night I noticed the marquee sign had Thompson's name on it now.

For me it is sad to see Holbert's name off the dealership with the history and all...

Wouldn't you think that the Holbert name would have been included in the sale price?  Talk about throwing away years of accumulated goodwill.  When I think of Thompson, I think of Nissan(or whatever Jap Crap they sell).

When I hear Thompson's I think BMW and Lexus.  They have lots of experience with high end vehicles and the customers who buy them. I wish them nothing but good luck with this expansion of their business.  

It is a shame to see the Holbert name retired but unfortunatly the name was not part of the deal.  It will be forever embedded in racing history.

I offered them my services.   They could have called it Herman's, but Nooooo.
