I'm not much of a green guy either, but I have fallen in love with this color on our trucks. If I wasn't staying with the original color, this would probably be my choice.

Yesterday I backed my truck up so it was halfway out of the garage and ran it for 15-20 minutes. If I had known, I would have let the air out of the tires and brought it all the way out and taken it for a spin.

Well....actually I pushed it out and back in.....Hmmm, maybe I can get it out tomorrow after work for a bit. It will be low 90's when I get home from work. Of course taking it for a spin will sure make me feel good.....

Abe, I lost in the 1st round today, spun the tires on launch. I lost to the guy that was runner up. He eventually won bracket 3 race. My best time today was 17.46 @ 77 mph. Yesterday I won my 1st round and lost in the 2nd round. It was as high as 98 degrees at Indy today. Dennis
