Hey Reverend Rabbit, I remember my first day. 1983 at a Porsche Audi V.W. store I was 21 and restricted to the V.W. side. A guy came drove up in an old dirty truck and everyone ignored him. I went up to him and we talked about everything except cars for 20 min. He was the biggest potato farmer in the state. I sold him a 928 & an Audi for his wife. My commission for the 2 was a little over $2700. and I was in trouble for crossing the V.W. line. I took my check and went across the street to the Chevy store where I stayed for 11 years and made a very good living.
Hate to hear you lost two friends back to back, but you definitely have the right attitude. It’s better to remember the good times with them rather than focusing on the fact they are gone. Thanks for sharing.
This story brought tears to my eyes. I had someone who gave me a shot and saw something in me I didn't see in myself just the same. David C. I'm sure he's proud of what you've become. Thank you for sharing, sir.
Rob: Usually I love your stories, the ending on this one hurts too much to say I enjoyed hearing it. Sorry for your friends. May their stories live on forever.
i have a similar story my friend was named dennis R.I.P he was an old school salesman that took me under his wing and became like a father figure to me when it came to car sales and even afterwards dennis was a great friend and a great man
Rabbit, may the memory of your Pal live on through your tales. Think of how many you have touched with this story, that’s his energy and memory living on. Sorry for your loss
I hate to hear about your friends, Tommy and Wayne. Sounds like they were both good men that had a lasting impact on your life. May God bless their souls and also help to comfort their families and friends during these tough times.
Here I am thinking I had a hard week trying to get a project car done. The story of your friends dying unexpectedly it's too shocking. I enjoy the story Rabbit thanks for sharing man.👍
LOL @ rub it in your hair, that pretty much sums up the last two years. I love watching, and listening to your stories. Not throwing shade, but if I go to buy a car and I see you, I am running the fuck away! Far to good of a salesman for me to deal with! Now after watching till 15:00..... your not a half bad guy, but still running! A reference letter like that is gold, always count your blessings and the friends that are blessings. I had a former employer and best friend like that, I miss him terribly. He passed 2 years ago. RIP Tommy. Sorry for your loss's.
I lost a mentor a couple of years ago. He gave me my 1st auto body job.. the body shop become a 40 year career for me. He went on to build big time award winning custom cars for Jimmy Vaughn and a host of other customers.. we all miss him very much but when I get around any of his other mentees we exchange stories to keep his memory alive... so sorry for your loss brother...
One day i started my car sales job "again" with just a $5.00 bill in my pocket. I don't remember how much weekend bonus money I made. But man was i grateful.
Damnit Rob, you did it to me again. I have work to do and I made the mistake of going down the Reverend Rabbit RUclips hole and now I'm stuck here until the battery on my phone runs down.
I admire a successful salesman, probebly because its something im not naturally good at myself. I am 42, started as a mechanic apprentice at 16 in 1994. I can weld and do bodywork.. I even did crowd control / security for a while, but to me sales is like black magic.
I just started on your videos, and I don't even know if you read these.... But I just had to tell you this: Thank you for being so vulnerable and real with us. I know it can't be easy to tell some of the stories you have shared. Not just because society tells men to hide their emotions, but as a damn good salesman, you are always positive and hesitate to let ppl see the real you. I see you, I appreciate your willingness to be raw and it helps to know that ppl that are phenomenal at selling, are ppl with vulnerability and humanity!
Rob - it's been great to tune in to these entertaining stories each and every video. The tone of this was a bit different this time. I can't fathom learning about one of your close friends being shot/killed in one's front yard, followed by another friend/fellow employee passing away. What absolutely, crummy news. I'm so sorry for both of your losses. Nice of you to share some good stories and honor them. Hang in there. Nick in Blythewood, SC
Great story brother. Sorry for your loss Rob, hope you’re doing well. This mans story is now solidified for everyone to know about him for years to follow his passing. Rest Easy Tommy and Wayne.
Words are not adequate, but sorry for the loss of your friends. May we all strive to be remembered fondly and humorously by those we are friends with, work with, and even those whom we are in competition with on business level. Have a great weekend and God bless!
Nice tribute. It's always cool when someone sees the potential in others and gives them a hand up. We are all indebted to those who saw the good in us and made it known. R.I.P. Tommy
I really enjoy listening to your stories I'm sorry to hear about your friends it's hard to lose a good friend trust me there is not a dull moment when I'm listening to your stories. Just keep your head up think of the good memories everything will be okay
My grandpa always said “a measure of a man is not how tall he stands, but how often he kneels to teach and help those in need.” Mind you, he’s from Camden, right down the road from you. Thank you for sharing!
Damn, sorry for your losses. As a lifetime dealership employee I felt everything you said. Acquaintances are abundant but true friends in this business are rare. I have a few that have lasted years. Keep on telling their stories, it keeps them alive and introduces them to those of us who never knew but feel like we do through your stories.
Definitely meet a lot of people in the car business. For some its a revolving door. It's the ones that stick around over the years that mean the most. Sorry for your loss, Rob.
Dang that's beyond tough losing 2 friends back to back. I think it's amazing how you can stay "put together" and sum up your great memories of your friend. Cars and talking cars is great therapy. Especially if both fallen comrades were car guys.
Rabbit you are the MF’n man, my guy! From one SEASONED salesman to another I didn’t believe I still had one, that this lil black heart of mine is still there and you almost got a tear outta me when the grand finale. Our mentors that become friends/colleague/family are hard losses. I’m sorry for your loss.
You touched my heart why ? because you have to be a friend before you can have a friend !! I know you know what you mean Rob .You have very few TRUE friends in the car business . Sorry for your loss .
No one gets out alive. We're all the same there. What people remeber you by, how they remember you is the difference. When mentors, and friends that had your back have to go....you know a piece of you is going with them. Condolences for your loss. Guys like that don't come along in life too often. RIP old friends. Thanks for sharing
Bless you brother I love your videos they always make me laugh you have my sympathy I lost what I consider pretty much my two best friends within just a couple months apart your right though keep telling their stories and they do live on in all of us keep your head high my man
You’re a Vegas guy at heart! Look up worldmotorsports user on eBay, that is my good buddy I helped out on eBay back in the day. We were doing the same thing on eBay with cars and Vendo Coke machines 😂😂
God speed Rabbit, we all know how much you care about people. Having two good friends pass back to back is not easy. Praying for you brother. Love and hugs...
Thank for sharing your story. I, too, have been lucky to have the support of good people at times in life when I was at the bottom. I’m glad you had the support so you could become who you are today. I’m sorry for the tragic loss of your good friend.
Thanks for sharing, Rabbit. Amazing storytelling as always. My granddad died not too long ago following an aunt fairly shortly before that. I like your attitude about the situation, it's definitely been better to not dwell on it rather focusing on the stories and good times that were shared from before. I sure hope your buddy gets justice, may they both rest in peace.
Death of a legend. RIP rob
Best way to remember the fallen is by telling their stories. Stay strong Rabbit!
You only really die when the last memory of you is forgotten. Let's keep Tommy alive.
May Rabbit Rest in Peace.🙏🕯️🕊️
This comment aged like fine wine
He's up there with him now. R.I.P. Rabbit.
When Rabbit says, “She was a 17 out of 10.” You better believe it 😁
I had to relisten - I thought he said she was 17.
...and you better hope she aint 17
and because she was there he was... "Smilin' like a 'possum eatin' punkin' seeds" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was she a jc penney gal tho? 😂
Ok
Rabbit. I hope that they continue to tell your stories so you can live on forever as well...

If I have one friend that remembers me when I die like you remember Tommy, I will have died a wealthy man.
RIP RABBIT MAN ITS REALLY SAD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AND REALIZE YOU ARE GONE. I HOPE YOUR MOM IS DOING OK!
Sorry for the loss of your friends, Rob. Like you said, keep their stories alive, bro.
Life is a shit sandwich, it's all about figuring out which toppings will lessen the bite. Great video.
Hate to hear you lost two friends back to back, but you definitely have the right attitude. It’s better to remember the good times with them rather than focusing on the fact they are gone. Thanks for sharing.
This story brought tears to my eyes. I had someone who gave me a shot and saw something in me I didn't see in myself just the same.

I'm sure he's proud of what you've become.
Thank you for sharing, sir.
"I dressed like a 60 year-old mob boss"
Now you're the "Carolina Auto Mob" boss. See you all soon
Now you’re with your buddy Rob R.I.P.
Metro isn't too far from where I grew up and where my mom lives. Used to pass by it all the time. My condolences.
Love the Rabbit. Thank you Robert for sharing with us. REST EASY.
We WANT TO KNOW ABOUT TOMMY when the case develops
I was giggling for about 45 seconds and when you said "veshnickled" I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Came here looking for this comment. Damn near caused an accident on the freeway I was laughing so damn hard.
It's tough losing good friends...may they rest in peace.
Rob: Usually I love your stories, the ending on this one hurts too much to say I enjoyed hearing it. Sorry for your friends. May their stories live on forever.
I can't wish you the best enough. I have been in a similar spot more than once. And they shall always live in your memories
i have a similar story my friend was named dennis R.I.P he was an old school salesman that took me under his wing and became like a father figure to me when it came to car sales and even afterwards dennis was a great friend and a great man
Man, I loved it when you had Wayne on the show, when I saw the news on Facebook it hit me harder than I thought it would...
My condolences Rabbit. It’s sad to hear that you lost two good friends, but they will live on in your stories and this channel! RIP gents.
Rabbit, may the memory of your Pal live on through your tales. Think of how many you have touched with this story, that’s his energy and memory living on. Sorry for your loss
Great Story! Sounds like they was Both Awesome Friends! Keep their memories alive and let the stories roll!
Very sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your losses!! Sounds like they where great people! Keep the faith Rob!
So sorry for the loss of your friends, they will live on through your stories.
I hate to hear about your friends, Tommy and Wayne. Sounds like they were both good men that had a lasting impact on your life. May God bless their souls and also help to comfort their families and friends during these tough times.
Sorry for ur loss. He sounded like a great human being.

I posted a joke but really I respect your compassion here Tommy sounds like a good guy, I'm glad to know him through your story
Surprised he didn’t start crying towards the end. Sounds like tommy was almost like a father. RIP
Thanks for sharing, and continuing to share. Keep that head up and keep educating :)
I’m sorry for your losses. My condolences.
I feel you 🐇... keep the memories spread the joy...Bless 1

Damn, keep up the storytelling and prayers to you and their families.
Hurts to lose a friend, hate it for you. It’s awesome to have someone believe in you when you’re coming up and full of uncertainty.
I admire a successful salesman, probebly because its something im not naturally good at myself. I am 42, started as a mechanic apprentice at 16 in 1994. I can weld and do bodywork..
I even did crowd control / security for a while, but to me sales is like black magic.
I'm sorry for your loss Rabbit ... Keep fighting the good fight.
R.I.P. Tommy and Wayne. Sorry for your loss Rob! You'll keep their memories alive!
As long as we never forget those old guys that helped us out when we were young, they will never be gone. Truly sorry for your losses.
I just started on your videos, and I don't even know if you read these.... But I just had to tell you this: Thank you for being so vulnerable and real with us.

Sorry for your loss!!! RIP!!!
Man, sorry for your loss. Lost my best friend to the same way in September
Sorry for your losses and thanks for this as it points out how fleeting life is. Always something to think about.
I sit alone today, because yes it comes in 3s..thanks Rabbit for being there for those that don't always have someone to talk to
thanks for sharing.
Good stories
Rob - it's been great to tune in to these entertaining stories each and every video. The tone of this was a bit different this time.

It never gets any easier, sharing their life with us keeps em round, in a way forever.
Sorry for your loss brother but I have a feeling your stories will get that much better now
I've had friends and neighbors who have passed in days or weeks apart . I'm 68 so its to be expected .God Bless.
Sorry for your loss. Its been a tough week but Im sure telling their stories helps you get thru it. Stay strong.
Great story brother. Sorry for your loss Rob, hope you’re doing well. This mans story is now solidified for everyone to know about him for years to follow his passing. Rest Easy Tommy and Wayne.

Kinda hard to tell where the setup ends, and the story begins.. but that's the trademark of a great Rabbit story.
Man, only the good... tough week Rabbit, thanks for sharing these great stories!
Cracked a beer for this one, great video!
My condolences! Death of a mentor and best friend is a cruel reality to face! Keep there memories alive by doing what you do best!
