Not a lie,
DT paid $50,000 for Dealer Authority. The rest of the money was for JDs soul.

Unfortunately, I owe Yago a couple of dinners so the money is already spent.

April Fools joke? This is what I walked into yesterday. A baby picture of me dressed up as a cowboy plastered all over my BDC. My staff is oh so hilarious.

I'm seeing many across the twittersphere NOT participating in April Fools this year since it seems as if we are currently living in a joke. 
✨ AI Highlights
The thread discusses whether a reported $1 billion Dealertrack acquisition of Dealer Authority was an April Fools' joke, which it was, though it sparked a broader nostalgic conversation about past pranks within the DealerRefresh community. Members reminisce about various April Fools' jokes over the years, including one that resulted in legal threats and bans from industry conferences, reflecting on how the tradition has evolved. The key insight is that while April Fools' pranks were once popular in the automotive industry community, members note a recent pullback from the practice given that current real-world events already feel absurd enough.
