Oh I see, the "value added" comments get credit for posts. Gotcha.

Don't want to brag but me and my team are down in North Carolina and just won a trip to Sweden for a week all expenses paid! We will be representing all of North America's Volvo Truck dealerships. Very proud of my other team members. There were a lot of smart people here. Just very excited.

Naw. Thanks! It was a technical competition. Got to tour the largest Volvo truck factory in the world, had lunch with the plant manager. they all come out and have lunch with the workers and customer. There was 4 teams from the states and us. It was no cake walk. It was a stressful day for sure. Got wined and dined with a bunch of big wigs. Got a walk through the research and development centre, very cool, although there was a few areas they didn't let us see. We also decided to drive 450 mi in a rental and visited the factory where they build all the engines and transmissions. It was a busy week and very little sleep. Flying home tomorrow..... I used to enjoy flying.....
