Neat truck, David!! I'm not a truck person myself, but I just watched the Jay Leno link you provided so now I'm at least a bit familiar with your Z's new mate. As for black vehicles, well, I agree with you that it's hard to keep them clean and looking nice. They're beautiful when they're clean but... My first black car was a SIMCA around 1968 when I was still in college. (My uncle's Oldsmobile dealership sold them for a while.) After just a few months I swore I'd never buy another black car. Untrue to my word, I bought a brand new black Corvette in 1979. It wasn't long into that ownership that I swore a second time I'd never again buy a black car. Again untrue to my word, in 2001 I walked into the local Porsche dealership and saw a new black Boxster S on the showroom floor. I couldn't resist and bought it on the spot. Quickly growing tired of car-washing and paint swirl marks very visible in the bright sun, after just a few months of ownership I ordered a new 2002 Boxster S--in red! Hopefully I finally learned my lesson. That being said, since you now have three black vehicles, you can cry on my shoulder anytime you wish. I'll understand.
