It’s amazing. I’m looking at the calendar and can’t believe 2008 is almost past.

When a year goes by this fast, it means we all had a lot of fun. And I wanted to thank our loyal customer base for that. The retail car business is tough work with long hours – great customers, like you, make all the hours worth it.

We’ve got a lot to look forward to in the upcoming year. It’s a whole new year, with a whole new set of possibilities. I look forward to earning your business again every time you stop by our dealership and I look forward to earning the business of your family and friends by putting the same type of hard work and friendly service behind everything we do.

I’d like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year, from everyone here at Toyota of Tampa Bay.

Happy Holidays,

John Gliem
General Manager
