Washed the wife's '05 Escape this morning and the "Minnesota Boy" in me instinctively took a peek under the doors looking for signs of dreaded rust after a winter of salty roads. Been living in the South for almost 20 years and I still can't get over the fact that cars just don't corrode down here unless your driving them down on the beach in salt water!

^^ Haven't seen hardboard siding on a house in Texas in a long time -- when was your home built?

Lol I don't think so. They are pricey, but this thing has custom bumpers and light bars and stuff. But $94k?! Come on.

Dang Coy. That sucks! Wonder what the old steel bed would've looked like in comparison after that.

Holy crap, Coy -- your family hasn't had much luck with car accidents these last few months!

By the way -- that might be the first picture I've ever seen of your truck where it actually looks brown.....
