Motorcade club is very careful not to allow competitors to have memberships.  Lets put all the bad vibes behind us and move on. Everyone benefits from MOT and FOT being there and they benefit from each other. MOT is probably FOTs best customer.  Appears friendly but they should work together more.  Everyone would benefit.

IT is not two way bad vibes but it is pretty silly how they have to operate here in town.  We do all benefit from having both of them around but it would be so much better for the owners if they were not as adversarial. I was not trying to start a battle here but I try to split my service between both of them and thought I would post my results.

And they're both laughing all the way to the bank. I've had only small dealings with each, but I can say that I liked what I saw at each place. I think that it might be a good thing for them to maintain a competitive stance. There is plenty of business for both (and then some), and I don't think that either begrudges the business the other one gets. Competition is generally good for everyone.

I think I figured out why service looks a lot more empty at FT.  I heard they moved some guys back to production.  If that is true it would line up with the increase production of their own coaches, command coaches and the new ones for the realm.  It is always interesting to see things from the outside. If that is the case that bodes very well for the brands longevity.
