[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1812267, member: 18945"] I was just about ready to clear off 60 ac of heavy woods in East Texas and bought new '08 Silverado. White, what I would call a fleet truck. As the Chevy salesman was with me and filled it up with it's first full tank of gas, he said something along the lines of "This truck has the best paint and body in the industry and it's last you for decades and still look good." I told him "In 6 months, you won't recognize this truck". He thought I was going to modify it like all the kids do. He was kinda right. It got banged up, scratched up, always had a crapload of 'stuff' both in the bed and in the back seat, and plenty of leaves and dirt. About 3 months of every year, the wet climate formed a green algae down the all driver's side (the side I usually parked that happened to be away from the sun) and the top. The 4 indentations that GM curiously put in the roof held water and turned first green, then rusted within a few years. I sold it in 2022 and think I washed it 3, maybe 4 times in the time I had it. Vacumed the inside out once, after just taking a water hose to it. The only other time the floor got washed out was in 2017. [ATTACH type="full"]32769[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
