Drive With Dave

Rob Mancuso just may know you better than you know yourself when it comes down to buying a car.

A household name in the Midwest, his grandfather and then father, taught him the ins and outs of the automotive business. He continues in those footsteps today with his own dealership, Mancuso Motorsports (https://www.mancusomotorsports.com) in downtown Chicago.

Together we talk sports cars, the psychology behind buying and selling, his book, and driving the fastest Lotus road car ever, the Evora 400.

For the video and story on the Lotus Evora 400 go to https://youtu.be/Gu1iHRSOwQQ

Rob's Book "Assuming the Position: A Family Business Survival Game", can be found on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Assuming-Position-Rob-Mancuso/dp/0965846202/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497979828&sr=8-1&keywords=Rob+mancuso)
