[DMCForum] Re: BTTF car up for auction..

["Josh Porter" <joshp1986@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a story about that. Whenever the 05 model trucks came out, 
we got a maroon dually that had cat poo in the back seat. All 
windows were rolled up and of course the doors were closed. They 
tried to scan me into washing it telling me that I would get an 
extra 30 min break for doing it. The truck sat like that for a month 
before anyone dared to touch it. Finally my boss cleaned and we 
played a joke on the new guy with what came out of the truck.
