^ nice delorean in the background. lol

sorry for the slight thread-jack.

also - i think it is probably the angle of the camera; but it almost looks like the engine isn't quite straight in the engine-bay?
just curious!

Hey maybe we could start a truck exchange program, send ours over there for awhile while yours are enjoyed here. Not to mention all the new parts that could be installed on our trucks while their visiting you. LOL.

**jocko** · 09-04-2011, 09:27 PM

Germany is probably less stringent on all the emissions nonsense than Calif.....

Ok, never mind - EVERYWHERE is less stringent than Calif....

Great lookin truck - like the new tire/wheel setup btw.
