Well, sort of, Its my truck but they rent it from me. I get a 1099 at the end of the year for taxes. The more stuff I can write off, the less taxes I pay. MAYBE EVEN REFUND! Plus the high for today is 35, not weather I wanna wash my truck in. The only car I had I took to Autobell and had a problem was my Black Ranger, (Swirls) But I dont think they'll show up so bad on my Silver. I can see why you'd be scared, you have a nice truck, AND its black. I gotta be in Spartanburg Monday at 7am. I gotta ask an inspector we contract for reference to get my Fuel Delivery Contractors license so Monday is "Impress" day.

Cool deal, I'm guessing they pay for mileage too?

I don't blame you about not wanting to wash today, I usually give one good wash and wax near the end of the fall, then let it go all winter. Since there's no salt on the roads down here I'm not too worried about keeping it washed.

Of course it never fails that once it's warm enough to get out and detail the truck after a long winter, that's when the Pine Pollen starts to fall in force! That's just a losing battle for about a month or so

Good luck on Monday!

Hey you know what sucks. Is that my black ranger I took really good care of detailing (My F-150 does some offroading). A couple years ago, during ONE of our droughts. I spent hours cleaning, and detailing the car. It hadnt rained in 6 weeks but the drought ended the very next day, like rain clouds formed over the Appalachain mountains. Then it didnt rain for like 3 more weeks after. So, I got plenty of practice on a black vehicle, It looked the best after I clay barred it. Have fun at the gun, wish I could go, A little too far for me to drive.

Here is AZ the XD 40/9mm is 549.99 and the XDm is 599.99 all black in 9mm or .40 and 649.99 with the bi-tone stainless upper. Just to give you a idea.
I'm getting the bi-tone XDm 9mm when I turn 21 in 12 days

These things are SWEET! I am in love. Snapped a few pics when I got back since there wasn't any good scenery along 85 .Truck is sitting a bit high on one side because the old tires/wheels are loaded in the back and b/c of the driveway. Hopefully someone can take them off my hands pretty soon. Now it's time to buy a detailing kit and get rid of my swirl marks.

Thank you. I bought her with 20k miles, but as far as I know she came from factory PTM.

Not sure about the bumper, it was that way when I bought it. I tested it out and it holds fine with no give, so I honestly don't know.

I saw the chrome ones in the store and they look SWEET. I'm trying to convince my buddy to get them for his white screw. Sent this picture to him:

Thank you! I pretend it's a Clemson tiger, though.
