Though the lot remained open during filming, one side of it's sign was temporarily changed to "Jay Austin Motors", which is seen multiple times in the film. Some people called Mack George asking if he had sold his lot, but the other side of the sign did continue to say "Mac George Motor Cars". See more »

Great Movie
20 December 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This movie is a great story as well as touching & inspirational. Any Christian businessperson should definitely watch it but anyone would love it. I enjoyed the part of the young son in the movie and how he watches everything his dad does whether or not the dad knows it. So true of children. The wife in the movie got on my nerves at first because I wanted her to tell her husband how it was, but it taught me the lesson of praying for him and waiting for God to speak to him, then she stepped in and encouraged him and stood by his side through it all. I plan to buy some copies to share! If you can't find it, NetFlix has it to rent!
