Damn, you did ALL of that after you got home from work? I'll bet it looks sweet! But do you ever sleep? I didn't notice a stash of little white pills when I was there the other day. How do you do it old man?

Hey a Rainbow would look good on jimbob's car! I could fix that right up in a flash! 
I LOVE my car! I Can't wait to drive it! I pulled it out of the Garage today to wash it, Oh man it sounds like Heaven I tell ya! It sounds AWESOME!
I'm gonna have to fix you guys a Great home cooked meal or something to make up for all the hard work. I don't know how you do it, except for the fact that you love what you are doing and it shows!
I'm going to let Ellis race my car this year! If his car isn't running, he can run mine. He's been off the track too long now and with my back, I wouldn't dare try it. It's just as fun for me to watch him be happy anyway..and of course to hang out with all of you guys/gals.
