I genuinely TRY not to be "that guy" but if someone said that to me I'd blast him verbally and would have to restrain myself from punching him the nose or kicking in his balls. Sheesh.

Damage to a parked vehicle is all on him. I'd take pics and ask for his insurance info

Paint jobs cost too much these days, gonna do my own and drive it, hope for the best.

I don't get you guys with trailer queens...

TRUK's shakedown cruise was Detroit to Orlando to pick up my co pilot for hotrod power tour 2011. TRUK has been on 3 power tours, rock chips and all. You spend lots more on dd every ten years and think nothing about driving it in rush hour traffic or cross country

Not driving your new hotrod is like not having sex with your new hot wife, saving her for the next husband. Lucky for you that your truck can't leave you, nor file for divorce

Wow!

thats an eye catcher for sure. I can't help but be critical of it though. it is simply a show piece somebody spent a lot of time and effort on. reminds me of a unimog but with no room for suspension travel and seriously limited visibility. cool pic though.
