you should have seen the look I got from my Dad when I showed up to his place with a quarter inch coat of clay, mud, and granite sand covering every inch of that truck that didn't need to be seen through. that was a week after I bought it. Yeah it was expensive, but it is a pickup. it will be used as a pickup. It will just be cared for meticulously and she'll stay nice and reliable for lots of years

Mechanically, I take great care of all my rigs. There are an awful lot of "love marks" on my truck though. Not to mention the smell of wet dog and raccoon urine (courtesy of an escalating prank war with my father in law). No amount of detailing can get that out!
