OP vanished like a fart in the wind after the last thread regarding Keating.

Maybe his boss told him to post this video and white knight for him. Whatever. Go back to Cars and Coffee and brag to people about the cars you bought by your employees scamming old people and single moms and anyone else they can on the deals they got at your workplace.


I've been on this forum for over a decade, I'm not going anywhere. I remember when this forum actually had something to offer people. It offers very little anymore.

And no I didn't expect anyone to watch it, you might have actually realized that the Internet is full of ***** Pretty hard to watch that interview and continue to think BK is some kind of monster.

I have a bunch of great Aggie customers that come through my store that talk about how ridiculous this forum has become.

I posted this thread/video to highlight how irrational this place is these days.

"Nope didn't watch it, nope never been to a Keating dealership, but I hate everything about him and he's a horrible human being/aggie because some people on the internet said so."


Never been to a Keating dealership; honestly don't know much of the back story on this thread as I don't pay much attention to dealership drama on here.

However, I've been on this forum for a hell of a lot longer than a decade. Over 2 to be exact. And to assert what you did in your first post is absurd. It hasn't changed much at all. I see things I don't necessarily agree with, but I'd like you to point out the SPECIFIC differences you allege between what it had when you first came on and what it has now.

You're doing exactly what you're complaining about other people are doing.

The difference is that people don't like him now because we all know how morally bankrupt he is

Anyone remember Longhorn Bob's last name?

Rick Cavendar of the Cavendar family sat next to me. I recognized him from TV, so I let him know that. He was wearing a white shirt with an Alabama logo on it. I welcomed him to Kyle Field and then asked if he got a bowl of soup with that shirt. He didn't think

Too bad you did that... Rick's a good dude, helluva voice.... singer. Funny guy too, was a client of mine for many years, then sang at one of my events.

Yeah, too bad a guy showed up to Kyle Field wearing the other team's gear and thin skin.

While this thread has done OK for my Star count, it's a bit disheartening to see my Blue Notice notifications light up, which activates my anticipation as a possible personal reply, or even a PM, and it's….this thread.

I do appreciate the affirmation to avoid Keating dealerships, but perhaps we can take a more positive turn:

Whom do you recommend?

I used to think Flatout would be a cool dude to hang out with. But just a tool who can't seem to admit that he and his buddies have gotten rich by scamming a few extra hundred or thousand dollars from unsuspecting customers.

Low down to nickel and dime regular folks and then post about your Lambos and Vipers bought with that money.

There's a thread about positive dealer recommendations already started.

Yeah…. Frankly, if this guy is a GM of a dealership and a partner in Keating Auto Group, then it was bad judgement to post in the first place. But to double down and start taking swipes at the community and the majority of posters on here is flatout stupid.

I guess that's one way to run a business. But it can't be good for the brand.

How is that no one else grabbed the N616EM tail number before Keating's media company? Does Ben usually sit on the east side first deck for games instead of a suite, or was that just for the interview?


I'm a Partner in our Auto Group and BK is our President. I have asked him plenty of times about a suite and he won't do it. He's as Red Ass as they come when it comes to supporting A&M. We have Execs on the Board of Trustees of the 12th Man Foundation and several of us are on other directive boards at A&M. He could be in a suite if he wants but he likes to be on the student side and he stands for every game.
I think we now know who helped push and fund the Jimbo extension.

I even got the "but we use Apex for inventory purposes". I replied I don't give a flip about how you manage inventory .
But we have to charge you to manage our inventory that is no longer our inventory.
Every car and every manufacturer has GPS on their cars and can track the anywhere.
