    Who here ever gets random complements on your truck from strangers? Here's a few I have gotten:

    One time I was loading my truck outside Home Depot and this guy parked nearby with a pretty nice Dodge fullsize. As he walked past me into the store he said "Hey, nice truck!" A few minutes later he walked back out of the store and said "Damn, I was so busy looking at your truck I forgot my list in my truck!" :D

    Then yesterday I got out of my Tacoma at work and this young kid that works with me (Flat bill hat sticking straight up, as always) said "I LIKE that truck! It looks like it's a beast in the snow!"

    Ive had at least 15 different people walk up to me and ask if i was selling/try to make an offer.

    A dude that owns a sky high diesel asked me if I wanted to trade


    and just I spotted a chick checking it out at a stoplight. In my mind she came up to me and propositioned me. (Basically the same thing, right?)

    Ever since I got my Duratracs I've been getting lots of compliments on my truck. I think it's the blacked out windows all around that set it off though.

    Sometimes when I'm walking up to my truck in a parking lot I hear "Damn that's sexy truck"...then I realize that was me. Then my girlfriend says "you're retarded" while she laughs and shakes her head.
