That’s when he decided that he needed to bring a car. Thanks to his gigs during the election period, he had enough money to pay for downpayment.

There was a point in his life that he didn’t know how to pay for the monthly payments because he didn’t have regular shows at the time.

Roberto thanks God for being good to him all the time because he was able to fix his problem right away. According to him, his abs helped him get more regular shows that let him pay for his car.
