shiny ride Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks again for all the compliments...Quick update....I was contacted by producer for "Counting Cars" and they asked if we'd want to come to Vegas for filming...considering it...One last picture (me & Justin) which a buddy took at the UA employees day at SFO.
