Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things. But thats just MY opinion! :P

Ayway, I like it! Being that my truck is "Chrystal Turquois", this tequila sunrise kind of orange sort of fits a Southwest motif I'm going for. 1962 Fleetside 4spd 235 w/O.D. posi 3:90 In the Stovebolt Gallery 1990 Subaru Legacy Wagon AWD 2.2 5sp 2013 Ram Tradesman C/V My Webshot Photos]
