    I will bet young Mintz's dad is so pleased to see his son with Jay and watch how great his demeanor is with Jay. Also, I note this young man is not starting out going the muscle way, rather a simple solution for his first car while still in school. I am more impressed (as a father) with this young man than his first vehicle. Jay deserves some serious kudos for "balancing" his program via presentations such as this!
