Speed dail .....
RC and I worked together over a 15 period at three different businesses. RC never forgot a phone number and he could speed dial quicker than a gunfighter. At one point there on Miramar Road things had gotten pretty competitive with the competition. So just for fun and before speed dail and all this fancy electronic stuff RC would speed dial one competitor then hit the conference call button and speed dial another competitor left handed without looking at the phone. The outcome was always predictable and hilarious and would go something like this; "Hello US Rentals" then "Hello Hertz Rentals" then the fun began .... "You called what do you want", "no you called what do you want?" Then as things got real heated and interesting click and that was it! What a riot and stress relief from our crazy rental world!!
Another time we were out making sales calls in his company Ford Taurus. Well as you all know he always drove like Mario Andretti and we were hauling ass down Hwy 78 behind a 1 ton flatbed. The next thing you know the flatbed ran over over some sheets of drywall in the road and stood one sheet up on its side and end to end across the lane right in front of us ....... It looked like a white brick wall and RC just drove right through it without even slowing down, it fealt like he stepped on the gas! The sheet of drywall disintegrated into a big white cloud of dust and we just kept going! We both looked at each other in disbelief and amazement! It didn't even left a mark on the car. It was pretty wild being the passenger and not knowing what to expect! But in typical RC fashion he made an instant decision and it all worked out for the best! Wow what a ride! What a guy !
