:shocking:







So many white vehicles. Well, it makes sense as white is the non-debatable superior automobile color.

Holy crap indeed!!  :sheerterror:  And we think we have traffic problems....   


BTW, I have always thought of white as the I-cannot-decide-which-color-to-pick automobile color....
Or the I don't wish to stand out or offend anyone color....
Or the official company vehicle color.   :greengrin:

My Supercharged MR2 is white and my Rock Crawler is two tone painted onto an original white body. Therefore white must be the best :gap: :gap: :gap:

I felt obligated to post my opinions, knowing that you owned at least one white vehicle.   :cheese:

Nice work getting your truck featured on "dirt everyday". Cool that you are painting the Ultimate adventure truck even though it is a Jeep. Hopefully it brings in some business for you. Now that your famous.
