Naps are the one thing I miss from my last job. Break room with a couch was nice. There is no real break room in my building here. Most people eat at their desks. There’s a hallway with some benches that look out over the dock, so I at least sit there and eat.

Crush dusk looks :jimp:
I’d pay for the wheels on Crush, but don’t really want the light bar stuff, I’d rather save a few grand there.

Orange Bisons? Those will sellout in a heartbeat.
A Crush ZR2 with black wheels is all you need then. There should be new accessory black ZR2 wheels out now that look outstanding...way better than the dusk wheels.

I pushed so hard for Orange Bisons. My second to last week there I sneaked it into some color changes that were being processed. If it wasn't caught, they'll be producing Orange Bisons. I actually did it with the intent of buying one, but now I'll just have to hope to see them rolling around as I blast buy them in an Orange Gladiator.
Do you do the same functions for FCA?

Mostly, yes. I'm currently working on more future product stuff than current product tweaking, but that could change.

I prefer a blend. If I could spend 4 days in the office and one from home, I'd be very :fuckyeah:

But really, I don't mind coming into the office.

I'm taking tomorrow off and then working from our Princeton office instead of HQ on Friday.
Friday before a three-day weekend? Yeah, I'm leaving early... :lol:

Detroit, :wtf: happens with these awesome concept vehicles that Jeep builds? Do they just go to a warehouse and sit alone and neglected forever? Or does someone get to take them out and drive them once in awhile?

Depends. Most continue to circulate around to enthusiast events and get driven actively off-road. What's really awesome is that each and every EJS concept is built to be driven...hard.

I actually have no idea what's going on with the other brands. Jeep is on it's own for planning.

I'm currently working on stuff that isn't even remotely approved yet, so no idea if it'll ever even see the light of day.

That is awesome, especially since they come out with a half-dozen builds annually for EJS.

So that Sandstorm concept truck is floating around somewhere tearing shit up? :nice: if I won the lotto I’d try to buy that thing from FCA.

JL/JT is still the standard for a while. A lot was spent on making it great, so I'm not sure a JL successor is even in the cards for a very long time (if ever depending on regulations).
