Synopsis

Ever read a children's book about car sales? No, neither had Joe.

The lingo, the lifestyle, the mindset... only someone from the world understands it. A story written like only a car dog can, and understood only by those steeped in the industry, Where the Rubber Meets the Road is a book in a category of its own, one that makes you laugh, cringe, feel, and surprisingly, learn. A wildly inventive yet hilariously real romp about a day in the life of selling cars at a dealership. No better way to teach your kids (or better yet, new hires) what automotive retail is like than this delightfully funny, colorful, and irreverent story from the mind of "the funniest guy in the car business," Joe Webb.
