Nice ride, turbo. One question though. Has the back of your truck ever been wrecked/repainted, or is that the original paint? With the high resolution of your digital cam, you sure can see a lot of orange peel in the finish. I know all vehicles anymore come with a decent amount of 'texture' (some b.c it's the nature of the beast with automation, and some b.c the texture in the paint hides flaws in the body panels), but that looks like quite a bit compared to any I've seen before, so I thought maybe it had been repainted.

lol jesus man what are you trying to do to the poor guy?

That reminds me of a joke Brian Regan the comedian made. He was making a joke about his doctor told him his eye was a little offset. Then Brian asked him, so is that going to effect my vision? Then he's like No, just wanted to make you self conscious for the rest of your life. [8D]

Haha. Regan rocks! We saw him live here a couple years ago but I've loved his comedy for as long as I can remember. His bro opened for him and he wasn't so bad himself either.

I'm not breaking his *****, I just thought that orange peel was pretty intense compared to most that I've seen on vehicles before. Trust me, dude, my '08 Electric Blue Pearlcoat has one of the ****tiest 'factory' paintjobs I've ever seen in my life. Orange peel, paint buildup at the endes of body panels, dirt under the clear, etc. Hell, it had a huge run on the passenger side rocker panel when I went to go pick it up that I made them fix before I would take delivery.

There's just no excuse for any of that.
