Surprisingly, no matter the brand, the clear coat vehicles, up here, even with our direct summer sun, seem to hold their luster quite a bit better than the old paints that sheered off the bodies. GM and Ford are really bad pre-1990 something. Vinyl stripes don't last any time with our summer sun. I have to change my Mustang again this spring.
Yeah that Expy is clean looking. There was a super nice 02 SCrew the other day. 171k, KR, and it sold for 3400. It was the slate blue with beige bottom and KR wheels, with one damaged. It sold on the 4th day.

Guess I won't complain about 2.39 out here in the sticks, LOL. There is a spot in SLC that it is 2.14 right now. Drill may have hit that hole before... Sapp Bros truck stop?

I guess I missed the what music do you listen to question. So now I'll reveal mine.
I like 60's thru 90's and most of the 00-current pop and rock. Not much of Hip Hop or Rap, but there are a few I like after 2000, and a lot pre 2000. Also, I like late 90's to about 2005 Country but it has me souring the later country that is out now.
I currently have a MP3 library with over 20,000 individual songs (1942 to current Pop, Rock, Country, Instrumental, Soundtrack, etc) and over 1100 albums right now in my collection. I still have a few hundred more CD/Albums yet to convert over. I have a lot of old Comedy albums also that I'm now converting over to MP3 also. I have every #1 song on Billboard's top 40/100 from 1955 to 1990. I haven't finished the later ones yet, but it will be stay inside weather yet this winter, so I'll be adding more then.
I glad it pays to have worked in radio, and still have friends who work there. I get a lot of music on flashdrives to add to my collect every few weeks from my buddy. I'm like Whitey, I'm more Rock and Metal over Britney Spears' type Pop. I like Madonna, but also like The Dead. I'm versatile when it comes to music.

Is that the one headed towards the Salt Lake? If so I think I stopped there for a soda at one point. Other than that I don't really pay too much attention to fuel prices. Mostly just stay away from shell and chevron since they're so expensive. Conoco is usually the spot I hit.
Maybe this pic will jog your memory? http://www.sappbros.net/travel-cente.../saltlakecity/

I too am versatile when it comes to music. My old school faves are Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and then I really got into Queensryche, which led to my all time favorite band, Dream Theater (with Mike Portnoy on drums - not a Mike Mangini fan).
But I have country in my library - Toby Keith, George Strait, Blackhawk are some I like a lot.
But I even like The Cure, Morrissey/The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Violent Femmes.....
My new favorite band is Sons of Apollo though. They are progressive metal - and a Super Group in their own right. The band consists of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, A7X, The Winery Dogs, Twisted Sister), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, The Winery Dogs, David Lee Roth), Jeff Scott Soto (Journey, Trans Siberian Orchestra), and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thai (Guns and Roses).
I love cranking this on a good stereo, lol. Sub needed.

As far as music goes, i listen to many kinds, mostly country- Waylon is tops!- but Willie, Johnny, George Jones, Asleep at the Wheel...there all up there, i get into occasional fits, ive got a playlists of old 60's-70's rock songs( Viet nam era stuff), Jim Croce, a local band-Pure Prairie League, Allman Bros., Creedence, Marshall Tucker Band, BTO,some, but not all of ZZ Top, Dire Straights, Bob Seger, The Band, i cannot, however, stand cRap music(?), im not at all into heavy metal or most of todays rock or contemporary stuff. I guess i am a bit of a fogey after all!

My musical tastes tend toward steampunk(Abney Park)/rock from other countries (Rasmus, Apolcalyptica, Nightwish)/60's/and a few other things. Not really into Pop or Rap. Some country is ok though I tend to prefer Johnny Cash and Alabama if I'm listening to country. Some humor groups like Tripod (from Australia) and Weird Al.

Nightwish... now we're talking. Which singer do you prefer? My fav of the 3 is Floor Jansen. The live version of her singing Ghost Love Score is tops!

Edit: Love TSO as well. Just wish I could afford to go to the concerts. Have been twice and they are epic.
