I would not do it, two tone is just not my thing. I think your truck looks better just as is.

Some business actually quoted you that price? To do that correctly I think you're probably more like 3 or 4k retail

Finally quit raining! It started Sunday and lasted until last night. Bout to pull the truck out, give it a good bath for the trip next week. Also have to go fill it up. This will be the 3rd fillup since i bought it in may .

Kinda excited to see what mpg she will pull off to colorado. Seems like every year once we get to lubbock we battle a head wind all the way. The 2013 usually got around 18.5 going up there. Hoping to squeeze 22 to 23 mpg at 75 to 80mph.

Only trip its been on is to abilene (180 miles round trip) and it got 25.3 @ 68mph going and 23.3 at 75 coming back.

I went out of my comfort zone and took the edge through a touchless wash. First time in probably 10 years. They have gotten better, it was nasty due to all the rain. Got out at the house expecting roadfilm still to be on it. I was pleasantly surprised . It looks really good.

My ocd wouldnt allow it to sit in the garage dirty for a whole week while on vacation. It missed the fender wells and tires arent all that clean but thats to be expected.

What a crappy week so far — Vegas, Petty, and now I’m stuck in San Antonio with car trouble on the old Escape! Not sure if it’s the alternator or just a battery at this point......

Doesn’t look like it’s going to be much more than a rain event - moving pretty fast so it shouldn’t stick around any one area and create too much havoc. Stock up the fridge for the weekend and you should be good!

Have always thought about heading to Colorado for one of our family vacations - maybe a half city/half country trip with a couple days in Denver and a couple days up in the mountains.

I've got a natural gas powered generator and closed the storm shutters this morning. Picked up all the lawn furniture and any other things that might get blown away so all we have to do is ride it out. Getting some rain and wind now but nothing too bad. Kick back and watch some football!

We tried Denver Thursday and didnt work out for us. Traffic is horrible and takes forever to get anywhere. We left the zoo and it took 35 mins to get 5 miles back to the interstate. May be the norm for some people but not me.

Colorado Springs is perfect IMO location wise.

Thanks...so far so good. 20 mph wind at the most and off and on drizzle. Being on the West side of the storm helped so far. We may get a little more later but the storm should be through quickly. The worse seems to be head for the Mississippi coast.
