You could have parked it under that ford back there,.. If you wanted oil all over your truck hahaha.:lol:

oh man, the ford would probably have saved me!! they had fire works for the show, and large pieces of the fireworks were falling from the sky all over all the cars! I had to put some embers out that landed like a foot from my truck too.

Well, then, theres a clone of yours running around. I saw it at the corner of Sage and South Pacific Hwy coming out of the bottling plant parking lot-I think its a bottling plant anyway. Hopefully I'll see yours someday too.
