EDIT- Anybody know how long the rep police keep you in jail?
That garage looks freaking awesome, nice work!!!

I think the rep police keep you locked up for 24hours, IIRC.

Oh okay, I must have been real bad then cause I've been in jail for about a week. I guess I'll need to spread the points around and then maybe they will let me out.

I noticed I had to spread em around more then usual lately before I can do a repeat rep. I'm wondering if it's because I got my 6th greenie? I used to max out my reps daily

GO Broncos!

Jacob..maybe you should be making money doing customized Powerstroke covers for these trucks.... Just a thought. The one you did was really nice.

No..a friend of mine dropped in her business card a few weeks ago and won the company lunch thingy.

But actually, that chipotle..the manager asked me out on a date like a year ago. It was a bit creepy. He kept discounting my lunch when I went in there (burrito and soda for $2.50), and then finally one day when my girlfriend was in the bathroom he cornered me at the soda machine and asked me if I wanted to go see a movie.

We still see him there on occasion and he is creepy.
