    Pfd is a must for any water sport.

    Legit saved my life. Was winded and in the result got all disoriented and nearly blacked out while tubing. Had I not had a pfd could've drowned.
    Did you almost drown as a kid? I was like that because I almost drowned in our pool when we had it when I was like 4 or 5.
    Didn't learn to swim till I was around 12 or 13 as I was petrified of water. Then eventually got good enough I could've got my life guard certification.

    I have a white truck, and the same spots. It is "rail dust". Metallic/semi-metallic brake pads can do the same. Tiny little bits of metal stick to/in the paint, then rust. I'm going to use a clay bar to pull them out once the weather warms enough to wash the salt off the roads.

    I've never owned white vehicles, only dark colours so that was never an issue for me. But you might be right about the "rail dust", it seems that it's a common issue with white vehicles as I searched on the web. Still, kind of sucks to see that, any tips on how to prevent that from happening?

    I can't think of any way to prevent it, but a few ways to remove it. This is my first white vehicle, and these spots are ugly.

    I had a white truck previously aswell, got those spots all over the fenders and doors.

    Ill never own a white or black vehicle again, and probably won’t buy a red one either haha

    grey.

    Legit love it lol.
    Other than my jetta and subaru being blue and the corrado being black the GTI was grey and so is the truck.
    Subaru had to get the rally blue, corrado I didn't care as it was track car and the jetta was used and didn't have the option.

    But whenever given the option I will always get grey. Took me months to find that GTI in grey but eventually did.

    I prefer black truck with gray accents, like my devil horn emblem. If I had to do it over again, I'd get my Konig wheels in gunmetal gray instead of black.
    Gonna question this one because my truck is actually black :p

    ^Strictly speaking it's "black sand pearl", black with little reflective particles in it. Beginning with 2011, Toyota switched to straight black, perhaps associated with the plant move from Fremont to San Antonio.

    Not yet but I like them and that's a good sale. I'd have to decide pretty quickly

    Oh yeah? What did you pay? Can you get it price matched?
