Default TOTM Suggestion - POTM

Some of us use our trucks as trucks, meaning they have dents, scratches, worn interiors, and just plain don't look pristine; however, they may have a few mild mods here and there.

With that in mind, how about a POTM (Pile of the Month) contest?

I would rate a pile as follows:
1) Dull, scratched or otherwise peeling paint
2) Dents and/or dings in the sheet metal*
3) Worn or dirty interior*
4) Cracked glass of any window
4) Peeling or missing emblems
5) The presence of any mods (ie tires, rims, home made pushbars/grille guards, CAI, etc)

Basically, the Pile of the Month would be unlike ToTM, which I consider "purdy trucks" -- they don't get used and abused like some of the rest of ours. To toot my own horn, my truck is ugly yet surprises the hell out of people with grabby brakes (wheel cylinder mod) and speed (head work and Fastman TB).

I hope this helps clarify things a bit.

Yak and halfamil would be good noms for this one. You know halfamil used his truck for what it is designed for, and that was for 446000 miles so you know it has just a little wear and tear on it.

I don't know about that, your truck cleaned up pretty nice when you had it in the shop a while back.
