* The use of continuation tasks is an attempt to avoid the opportuntity cost of waiting for the all the vehicle info calls to complete before making any dealer data calls.

* A hashset is used for bookeeping so that multiple calls for the same deal data are not performed. Lookups should be fast, O(1), and scalable at the expense of storage for dealer ids "in use."
