In this wild episode of Dropping Bombs, Brad Lea sits down with exotic car mogul Chris Barta, co-founder of Tactical Fleet and creator of Design Auto — the first online marketplace exclusively for exotic cars priced at $100K and up. They cover everything from what it really takes to build a multi-million dollar car dealership from scratch (with no money), to the shady side of the luxury car market, elaborate scams, and the Ferrari mafia-like rules you didn’t know existed.
This one’s packed with real stories, sales wisdom, and car biz secrets nobody talks about. Whether you're a car fanatic or just respect the hustle — this is a must-watch.
