We all cool Rob....My gf read that lil comment, and said "Hmmm, they don't even really know ya, and know how you are...."

She kinda irritates me in the fact she doesn't want me to work on Atlas....And I hate havin small F ups that I know, (From a mechanical POV) will inevitably become larger F ups...

I believe that color is, or was, called "Sand Beige". Maybe you should call it "Sandy".

My truck's name is "Bucky" because it surged (bucked) all the way home when I first picked it up from my BIL.

I'd either call a car that's beige and all stock "old fart" since I've heard when you get over 50 you start to turn beige and become boring.

My apologies if anyone get's offended.

I call mine "El Kabong" from the old cartoons because I bought it from a mexican who preceded to do the autozone makeover with neon underglow and an awful rattlecan job, along with 8 or so random switches that do nothing when you flip them.

well the Sand cruiser is gonna be it as I have a bad habit of kicking in the 4x4 and off roading around here (have some sandy areas) with it LOL!! tho the sandy pigeon cruiser would be another fitting name as Ive already hit 3 pigeons with it and one got nailed in the grill but no harm done and the bird cleaned off easy...and yes we have parts of our city where they nest and gather (near the river under the Kennedy bridge)
