    The wife wasn't feeling well this morning so she stayed home from work, I stayed too to help with the kid. By early afternoon she was feeling better so we decided to go pick the truck up instead of waiting until the weekend. I forgot my camera but took a lousy picture with my cell phone... :doah:

    Looks good, Evan! One of my good friends in MD just picked up a new Ford 250 PS truck last week. He now has an '03 GMC Dmax for sale with 2 brand new injectors (for the 3rd time).

    The other day on my commute home me and a new 250PS4x4 same color as yours but SRW were 'racing' each other. It was fun, both rigs kept up with eachother so no one really beat the other. The Ford guy was having fun too.
    New towrigs are cool I don't care what flavor they arewaytogo
    Oh and that color doesn't stay one color, well what I mean it almost looked olive in the sunlight then burnt smoke rust...hell I don't know how to describe it but it is a cool color.
    Anyway Congrats manwaytogo

    I heard that Dodge was having big problems with the new manuals and they were having to get fly wheels from GM to put in their trucks. If you don't wnat the GM fly wheel they will put the Dodge Auto in at no charge. Thats probably why they haven't called Tim.
    Don't call them they will call you.rotfl JK

    Sorry to here that you haven't gotten your truck yet. I know that it is hard to wait.

    So, you bought a UPS truck? ;)

    Man, looks nice. I don't normally like brown, but that looks pretty cool with the pearl clear. Sure is gonna be a mutha to touch up though if it ever gets in a bender...

    Heh, I moved it there specificlaly to take a pic, the parking lot at work is huge and half of it is always empty.

    It's funny how it looks so brown in some light, pretty much in direct strong sunlight it looks brown, although when I went to lunch it looked green. In overcast it's dark grey.

    Check this one out, it looks super brown in this light -

    It's what they used to call "flip-flop" in custom paints. Originally I seem to recall it was made using crushed mica, but now they use a synthetic stuff that is not so hard to keep in even suspension while spraying. With the older flip-flops, you had to constantly swirl the cup (at the end of each pass) or it would start to separate out before you could get very far.

    So, you sitting out there in it having a beer tonight? I envy you the feeling. It was absolutely great when I got my new HD, looking for any excuse to drive it, or even look at it. :D

    Yep, I once painted an Impala with flip-flop paint, about 13 years ago in high school body shop class. This is much more subtle than that, but still cool. Just gotta make sure to keep it shiny, if it dulls out I'm pretty sure it will just be plain old brown.:eek:
