Drive with Artie

The relationship should outlast the drive home.

I’m Artie, at . Let’s find a car, figure out how the thing works, and pack you home in it.

P.S. I like people way moore than I like cars. Don’t tell my boss.

Who Artie is

Porter

He started by showing up, long before the desk.

Artie’s first days in the car world were as a porter: early mornings, long days, learning the place from the ground up. He asked questions, made mistakes, kept improving, and earned a shot helping people find the right car.

That part never left. Customer, coworker, or someone who just needs a hand, the job still starts with showing up and treating people right.

Who this is for

Your first car. Your next chapter. Your people.

Maybe you’re buying for the first time, making room for a growing family, or helping someone you care about. Tell me what’s changing in your life. That’s where we start.

Road to 50

A public challenge,built on how people are treated.

The long-term goal is to help 50 people or families get vehicles in a single month, through remarkable experiences, real follow-up, referrals, reputation, and community. No pressure. Nobody treated like a quota.

Fifty hasn’t been claimed. The work is building a month that could eventually compound that way, without rushing anyone to get there.

Building the foundation before chasing the number.

Fifty is still the long-term goal—not a number I’m claiming today. The work right now is building a car-buying experience and follow-up system strong enough that relationships and referrals can compound without turning people into a quota.

As of September 19, Drive with Artie has a public home with live Royal Moore inventory, a direct way to ask for help, and this page as the home for Road to 50 updates. The next update goes here when something materially changes.

A little challenge

If I forget your name, coffee’s on me.

Come back to the lot, or just text. If I blank on your name, tell me and I owe you a coffee. No form, no points. It’s just me keeping the relationship honest.
