Brandon and I spent 48 hours straight in the shop before to get a car ready for a drag race. I think thats more what they are talking about. You can't and won't do that. Which is not a bad thing, I understand why but that doesn't change how things are.

The crew at BG is still the only people I know that will stay 100% until the bitter end to try and get a car done if it has to be done. I was there with Dan and Brandon the other night when a customer from Florida trailered up car to have tuned. Turns out that when the customer assembled the motor he set the timing wrong. The car got pulled off the dyno, fixed, put back on the dyno, tuned and loaded back on a trailer, then everyone stayed until the next appointment was done. I think we left at 3am, sometimes thats just what it takes.

I've been there late MANY times to get shit done, just because that's what it takes. I've seen Brandon stay til the wee hours more times than I can count. Hell, there were like a bunch of us scattered in the shop sleeping in random places. Chairs, couches, even CARS were slept in when we worked on the Evo. Matt's WRX was the same story. Clutch job being done at 4am into the early morning. My cars are no different either, as my Lexus, my DSM's, have all been there with a bunch of us helping really late. Customers get the same treatment too. One of the main reasons that shop has been successful is because of the amount of HARD, team, effort that's been put in.
