    You got to see how the BG family really gets down when the going gets tough. We yell and scream and cry until it's beer time. Then it's all good.

    The stress and hours (and my bossy attitude ) have been known to make a few BG employee's pack up and leave. I try to run a tight ship since we are always so busy. Efficiency is always a must.

    There was this one time...we were trying to get my Evo ready for IS. We stayed up for 3 days straight working on the car, in between on day 2 we drove to a wedding in TN and back (we stayed at the wedding for like 3 hours)....when we got back to ATL we all picked a customer car at the shop to sleep in for a few minutes before we got back to work...only to find out that the turbo was bad from the manny. We worked until it was too late. We didn't make it to that race. Baller was there.

    Brandon is one of the most hardcore MFers I have come across. I think he has been with us for almost 6 years????? Poor baby. It takes a hard ass to stick around and do what we do.

    yes, but i dont think you were bossy.

    i always either see you crying or smiling...

    if you were bossy, well...
    you were just doing your job.
    if there is no one being bossy, **** doesnt get done and accidents happen.

    plus, you look naughty in a race suit.

    and i think the Ninja Turtle team has finished their build.

    Brandon is the most hardcore MFer you know, I think he and I spent almost 48 hours straight at the shop trying to get Jeremys car done for Import Showdown one year. It takes both hands and a foot to count the number of times we have all pulled all nighters to make it somewhere and I can think of twice that we didn't make it.

    Well....let me tell you my Friday story. We left the shop yesterday at 4:30 pm and we have been driving ever since (we have not stopped for a hotel). I drove the first 17 hours while only stopping for gas...I still have not slept and it's 11:00 pm. Our truck has been throwing a code for about 10 hours which has made us stop about every 2 hours. The truck is brand new but we cant find a Chevy dealership anywhere to help us (I think we are going to trade it in while we are out here). We are in the middle of the dessert and there is nothing out here to help us. We can't check into our hotel room until 3 pm tomorrow and all of the hotels for 3 hours around Vegas are sold out, so we will probably sleep in the truck tonight if we ever make it there.

    That's the short version

    P.S. I was watching Coach Carter.
    P.P.S. I haven't showered in 4 days and I look and smell like a lot lizard with matted greasy hair.

    Seriously thinking about it. It has been nothing but trouble. One problem after the other. We have a week out here before our event in Laughlin, NV. We will prolly scope it out and see if we can get a deal.
