http://harrykss.blogspot.com/2015/04/april-2015-sdada-column.html
A little about this and that. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. April 2015 SDADA Column. Each of these priorities is an easy discussion because they have such broad appeal outside of our industry. Community banks are being crushed by the same heavy-handed tactics the CFPB is trying to apply to auto dealers and lenders. Ultimately, fewer community banks and fewer auto lenders does not serve the consumers which is what the CFPB purports to do. Wall Street Journal Offers Peeks Behind the CFPB Curtain. These two opin...

A little about this and that. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. February 2015 SDADA Column. I have written in this space about NADA's Fair Credit Compliance Policy and Program, a program.

It is designed to strengthen the dealership's efforts to comply with fair credit laws. I strongly encourage you to read to look at this policy to see if it might he...

http://harrykss.blogspot.com/2012/09/dont-buy-whole-cow-if-you-just-want.html
A little about this and that. Thursday, September 27, 2012. Don't Buy the Whole Cow if You Just Want a Glass of Milk! So you think you know what car you want. Now you have to decide whether to buy the car or lease it. For some, there is no dilemma because they either don't think leasing is right for them or they don't understand leasing. Either of those may be true, but you owe it to yourself to learn more about leasing before eliminating the leasing option. No (or low) Down Payment - when the lease begi...

http://harrykss.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-fish-warriors.html
A little about this and that. Sunday, May 10, 2015. I grew up a block from some of the best walleye fishing on earth. As a kid, I loved to fish. Up to. About age 15, I fished a lot. Almost all of my fishing was off the rip rap (rocks) just in front of our house. I cannot remember my Dad. Ever fishing with me. He loved to check in on me when I fished and would always brag about the fish I caught. But he did not have the patience to fish. So on a crisp May morning in 2001, we headed to the marina to meet o...

A little about this and that. Thursday, July 2, 2015. June 2015 SDADA Column. The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. -Charles Kettering. No one ever imagined we would part with either one, and we would not have unless we firmly believed doing so would benefit our dealer members and advance NADA's core mission.

http://harrykss.blogspot.com/2014/01/harry-k.html
A little about this and that. Friday, January 3, 2014. My Dad, Harold William Knust, died today and we wrote an obituary. That was a fine tribute to a truly great man. But in many respects, it was incomplete. I'm not sure you can tell the story of any person in 500-600 words, but I know you cannot tell my Dad's story. He picked up his nickname while in high school as trumpet player. Though he wasn't a great trumpet player, he drew the first name of the great trumpet player at the time, Harry James, a...
