Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) May 25, 2006 – CarsMagazine.com announced today
that “Daytona” Dayton CEO and president of Daytona & Friends Global
Enterprises, Inc. will join the automotive advisory panel of industry
expert women for “Ask Patty”. The “Ask Patty” website (www.askpatty.com)
is launching in May 2006, in conjunction with Carsmagazine.com, to
provide a safe place for women to get advice on car purchases,
maintenance and other automotive related topics.
“Daytona” Dayton is CEO/President of Daytona & Friends Global
Enterprises, Inc., and Producer/Host of Daytona & Friends National
Radio Talk which discovers great people making a positive difference
for others. She is a motivational speaker, national columnist, an
advocate of creating fundraisers to help various children’s charities
and founded TEAM CHAMPIONS OF AMERICA to help children’s self esteem.
In June 2006, Daytona & Friends will also be aired as a daily noon
time local television show, produced by Daytona and her family and
syndicated nationally in 2007.

car driver. Ms. Dayton has hosted radio talk shows for numerous years

In her automotive advisory role, Daytona will respond to questions from
consumer women on automotive related topics and assist consumer women
by advising them on car purchases, service and other automotive related
topics. The “Ask Patty” interactive advice blog is scheduled for
release in May of 2006.
"I am very excited about the launch of “Ask Patty”, said Daytona. “
Being chosen to be part of the team of expert automotive advisors is a
great opportunity to share my experience and industry knowledge to help
consumer women make educated decisions about their automotive needs.”
“Many people, including a surprising number of car dealers, still
believe negotiating and buying a vehicle is a man’s job,” says Jody
DeVere, President of “Ask Patty.” Obviously, they’re mistaken, 80% of
car buying decisions are influenced by women and 50% of car purchases
are made by women. “Ask Patty provides women with the advice and
information they will need to feel empowered and confident when they
negotiate and purchase a new or used vehicle.”
“Ask Patty” will help the dealer to foster trust with each web site
visitor, according to Peter Martin, President of CarsMagazine.com.
About Ask Patty:
Women purchase half of the vehicles sold in the United States each
year, spending over $80 billion. Yet, shopping for and buying a car can
be a challenge for women who are first time car buyers or for women who
had a bad experience in the past with a car salesman or dealership.
The “Ask Patty” website is a safe place for women to get advice on car
purchases, maintenance and other automotive related topics. Women can
ask Patty for automotive advice when they go to www.askpatty.com or, go to www.carsmagazine.com
and click on the “Ask Patty” icon. Questions can be submitted to Ask
Patty via an interactive blog. Patty will typically reply back to the
consumer the same day. Selected questions and answers will be posted on
an interactive blog, paneled by automotive women experts for the
benefit of all consumer women.
