now that you mentioned it , DM has an all red body vs others having silver that with bigger chrome bumper , angle of photo can't see white section on hood as promenade as rest of fleet. looks like a tank coming at you. give me a minute or two to find other differences

Brown salt-where does that come from?  I think most of the stuff coming into boston is "dirty white"

Treated with chemical's  beet juice , Molasses ,so it doesn't bounce on icy surface usually 10.00 a ton more

I know that one == originally G & L truck, that's why it's different in fleet picture. based on topic of RB having recessed head lights /set back axle (I'm confused LOL) ;; this picture is a DM

heard that on news . they were kids too ! how has a society gone so wrong , this is considered fun ? it's only couple towns away from our renting. never locked our doors - now everything is locked even when we are inside. throwing eggs at a car in our day was thought of as fun; can't today 1-eggs cost too much =2- it's vandalism ;; still not burning a 200 K vehicle.
