Hope you know that I was just being playful in my last comment to you. Was busy and didn't have time to deeply engage, so I sent that as a way to keep engagement going until I had more time. Ha. I really appreciate this insight. So why does Google's metrics affect dealers less, though? Just the size of the site? Surely Google doesn't recognize it as a dealer site and say, "Who cares." I'm not really strong in this area so please bear with my poor questioning.


You are right though, from a user perspective, my site seems to function just fine. No noticeably slow load times or major technical issues seem to show up to me. So, as you correctly deduced, the main reason for inquiring was how much it would impact me from an SEO perspective.  My score was a 78 for SEO (though the 27 for Performance bothered me as well - this kills the overachiever in me). I honestly don't know how much my SEO hurts me though being a rural dealer with over 60 miles to the next closest dealer of any size. I may be either naïve or stupid. Not sure which.
