Don’t walk, run to this place! Hollywood Superstar did all he could to make sure I get me in something before I left. It wasn’t my exact dream car but we talked and he told me in another year I’ll get the dream car I really want. Even though this car is helping build my credit, a 2019 Chevy equinox isn’t bad and it…
