Was it hinted at earlier that I am a "pumper"?
Naw, I'm not. I've done my own DD and I trust My DD and no one has shown me anything, other than base-less acusations and opinions, that would make me question my research.
So what I am Is "PUMPED"!
Sweet dreams all! Drave safe this holiday.
Thank you Steve Breman and Go ONCI
Just to get a grip on this potential, lets say the two groups we are now vendor to is of course #1 as stated, with 300 dealers, and #6 with 98 Dealers, that is 398 dealerships. Ok so that comes to....um....subtract the 2 divided by...... That is 8 dealers per state in the lower 48 and 7 each in the other two!
8 per state in just those two
Now you know that you do not get to and hold the position of top 10 by letting other groups get a leg up. Count on other groups jumping in soon! AND OR someone like Oh maybe Warren Buffet will recognize the financial advantage of owning those 34 patents that ONCI owns!
Of course this is again just the excited opinon of a crazy old man!
The potential of these dealerships is SO HUGE! I am just loving life tonight! Penske group as of 2017 with 300 dealerships! LET that sink in. Then a second in the top 10? Wow, I'm guessing no lower than #6! (Nascar connection)
Every once and a while there is some hot air that blows through but the truth is that Steve stated that we have received vendor numbers for ALL of the dealer members of THE Largest Dealer Group, 300! Common sense dictates that he could not, would not risk putting that out if it were un-true.
Of course this is just the OPINION of a very crazy old man.
For the sake of integrety, this may be a more current list, as of 2017

Great to know! I'm thinking a couple of coffee cups would be good! Not that it will help the PPS. LOL
Well there are 3-4 that do not believe anything about talking to Steve but I do, and a LOT more like me believe in STEVE and the company He is building.
Still Long and holding strong!
Go ONCI
Now that alone is worth the investment on a personal basis.
Planning to buy this for myself, only makes sense that as an investor, if I believe in the product, I should use it.
Go ONCI!
IF you buy one, will they actualy deliver it?
Not quite the full truth about Steve or ONCI, but again, it does make my point.
No idea how big of a garage that top 10 dealer has to land in.
Just glad Our CEO is going!
ONCI buyin my beach front home! Which beach you ask? Any one I wish to drive to!
LOL! Thank you. I still am not invested in PLPL. I did make a little "Beer" money some time back. I watch this board due to its connection to it subsidiary TX*M where I have been patient due to the possible connection I see to another stock I am invested in.
Do I still believe, not really, not after studying the history of the company and owners.
LOL! Me too! more $.$$$ clearing mid week! It's time to invest again.
Wrenchman, GREAT JOB! Thank you for keeping the FACTS in front of the investors and share holders.
Joint venture of one app is the only thing I know anything about.
Well. I have held a starter position here of .5 mil for several months.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.
Thank you.
Buy out? Please! 50% of nothing or !00% of nothing, it amounts to the same.
IF there were a merger in the works, don't you think that the ON*CI shareholders would be aware of it also?
