Code Orange Easter Weekend Present

[gkrane]

Well Saturday was the big day for me as I drove to Dallas and picked up the truck. It is absolutely amazing! It exceeds all of my expectations and could not be happier. First thing I noticed is how a camera can not pick up the actual code orange color which is absolutely beautiful. Every picture I have seen including mine make it appear to be red which it is not. In bright light it is simply amazing and I am so happy I picked this color. Second thing, this truck is BIG. Much bigger than anything else I have ever driven, and it is going to take some getting used to. The 7 hour drive back to Corpus Christi from the Dallas area was an amazing first time experience, although I had to trade time with my wife. I told the dealer not to wash it because Tuesday it goes for front end PPF and ceramic. The big bonus was after a few months long battle with the GM of the dealership about the price protection, I was contacted by a Ford executive Friday who told me they re-invoiced the truck for me and when I arrived at the dealership they gave me a check for $3,800.00. Could not be happier.

Very nice!

Next time I'm flat bedding my truck from the dealer to the detailer.. my 9 hour trek back resulted in 3 paint chips including a 3rd one on the flippen bumper. Boooo

Man, am I the only one who saw this picture and thought it was a scented candle? Sweet smells of burning tires and race fuel.
