You wouldn't want to drive around in a ride that clashes with your beer cans, especially since you're probably going to have a hundred or so of them rattling around in the bed before long. I beg your pardon. I do NOT drive around with 100 beer cans - those 100 cans are worth five whole American dollars. They'd be worth ten bucks here. Or to put it another way, about 220 empties will get you a lift ticket at Mt Trashmore. No wonder the place is crawling with snowboarders. And since buying a pickup truck is primarily a fashion statement, color co-ordination is really all that matters. It's forest green. To match my eyes. Then you'd better switch to Ballantine, if you can find it. -- //-Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

Maybe its my dislike of the color that makes me notice, but I see a ton of them in that color. The other day I say a very cute blonde in a nice new black Volvo Wagon at the grocery. Now that was hot. I wish more Volvo owners were interested in fashion. I buy 'em used, so color isn't really something that's part of the purchase decision. Unfortunately, the last one I bought is exactly the same color as the one I already had, so my wife and I now have matching Volvos. That would really really bug the **** out of me if I cared about fashion. So you have two Silver Volvos? nate |

Like the ute I saw in vermont many years ago, in spring. Mound of snow still in the back (utes in snow country seem to carry a lot of snow around in the back) with many bottles of beer sticking out of it. the ute was dark green, and the bottles were dark brown, so it kind-of toned. ant |
