Have you ever worked with an installer that you'll never forget? Someone that always comes up in those "this one time" stories.

Back in the beginning of my 12volt career I worked with a guy that was the older quieter guru guy. The guy that everyone looked up to and looked for when they had questions. Kind of an older brother/father figure to all of us. My memory of him is him in a SUV... Listening to Ludacris Youz a Hoe. lol It was like having your dad listening to Ludacris. Everyone in the shop was dying of laughter.

Always been a lone wolf. My one buddy tries to help but is just a pain in the butt. it's like having Gilligan trying to help. he means well,but he's as screwed up as a football bat.

The guy I worked with sang Beyonce all summer because it was a hit on the radio. He never missed a high note. I don't think we ever quit laughing.

Good Luck!

You guys are lucky you don't work for me....you would all have nicknames that you would have earned by doing something worthy of the name I give you. Like Rocketman (rocket scientist), Windmill (a new sexual position that he failed and bailed on), Mr. Clean (extra bald dude), Trunk Monkey (for bending into all sorts of positions in trunks), ***man (for spending so much time in the crapper), Little Geek (look at the guy and you would know), Habib (cus he can do anything) and the list goes on.

On any given day you will be thoroughly annoyed when your boss (me) comes into the back and starts to "ranch" you for an hour and a half or asks you if you "are done yet" or "how about now?". Or if he makes a bet with you that you lose 99% of the time. Perhaps he will air nail the crapper door closed and turn off the breaker and let you sit there and sweat it out.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

At our shop we had "Bulk Stack"-for stacking jobs, and "Supertech"- Know it all.

This was our shop

The happy azn drunk kickboxer

The Angry white guy

The newbie computer nerd turned installer who tries to stack cars to make it look like he's "The Man"

The total newbie "What is a wire stripper?"

The Big Brother Guru - Worked on master p's accountant's car

The Sloth rocket scientist - Can build a 2-way remote start out of scratch but it will take a year to finish the install

The Supertech assistant manager - Don't ask that guy anything

The Experianced mexican - Backbone of the shop but you'd never know it

The Butt of all jokes S&I manager - Doesn't get as much credit as he should but we all know it's lonely at the top.

This was just part of the list, sales is a whole different novel.

Do you guys feel like a camera crew should be filming a reality show like Unique Whips at your shop? I used to work at a shop that would make that show look like watching grass grow. There was always some crazy funny drama going on there.
