For the record..The color of that 03 is called "Pewter"...Hides dirt very well..appears to look cleaner than all the other colors when it's dirty..something to consider when it comes to cleaning this behemoth.

and when you drive through the river in Black Rock, the dirt is the same color, so you don't even have to wash it. although 2 o the H1s that were on that run have had some nasty electrical problems from corrosion.

I was driving on a major two line highway today and two geese came out of NOWHERE and one of them slammed into my windshield. It was either me hitting another car to avoid it or the bird. Sorry...the goose lost. Completely shattered my windshield (see pic). Glass was everywhere. I even found it in my umm....undergarments.
Unforunately, the truck isn't totaled.
However, that damn bird did over $500 in body damage+towing fee+replacement glass. Someone please explain to me how a goose can dent a roof of a truck? I was only going about 30mph. STUPID BIRD!
I'm now driving a death trap rental car. A Dodge Neon...SO SCARY.
Wish it had been a flock of those retarded birds so they could have totaled the truck and I could be going to pick up my HUMMER!

CBS4) LEOMINSTER A driver in Leominster got an unexpected passenger Thursday night, when a moose landed in her front seat.
Julie McDowell hit the 500 pound moose while driving on Route 12. The moose landed inside the vehicle, alive, with its head sticking out through the windshield.
Mark Matley of Leominster witnessed the scene and recorded a short clip of video. You can watch that video at the top right of this page.
Meanwhile, McDowell was able to get out of the car, as the moose struggled to do the same.
The moose was tranquilized with three darts. Then emergency crews cut off the car's roof, and lifted the moose out of the passenger seat. Environmental police released the animal into the wild, but after observing the moose, they determined it had serious injuries and had to put it down.
Julie McDowell had to be treated for glass shards in her eye. She told CBS4, she felt bad for the moose.
A record 52 moose were hit by cars in Massachusetts in 2004.
Biologists estimate there are as many as 700 moose in Massachusetts, and most are in northern Worcester county.

That kinda stuff is a daily occurance up here. The moose here love to play chicken with you on the highway. They run right at you. When we hit'em if thier not dead yet, and with the larger moose they dont always die on impact, the troopers come and pump a couple slugs in the pesky bastards and folks tow'em off the side of the road and butcher them right on the spot... mmmmmm yummy tenderized moose steaks for dinner.
