Black trim looks great on a Lotus Elise and it's certainly not vintage either.

I want pictures, and found this interesting preview: http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Firebird/Gibson-USA/2011-Firebird-Studio-Non-Reverse.aspx

So they are just doing the same program with 4 strings. Same two colors, same smaller headstock, and off-the-shelf hardware borrowed from mainstream models.

Dave, that, uhum, Ford Ranger you mentioned, I assume that is pick-up truck, right? (We need an angelic icon here.) Yeah, I bet chrome looks great on those and it's easier to wipe off the blood spots from the deer and coon hunting too ...

Turning to our Seattle chief biologist and how all natural black is actually very dark grey, I always thought that it is in fact very dark blue? But whatever, real dark grey is black enough for me.

Yes, it's a pickup. Handy for hauling, I'm not a hunter.

Put embarrassed icon here ...

Hey, I was just trying to be my usual sardonic self!!! I was expecting you to be all over me telling me that a Ford Ranger is not a pickup nor does every American - even in more rural, snow-prone areas - drive one.

I did leave the chrome rifle holder in the driver cabin out though!!!

Clichées and preconceptions are your compass through life, I always say, just don't trust the needle always!

In the name of all upstanding forum members, I herewith demand a pic of that Ford Ranger, so we can deliberate on its chrome garnishing!!!

It's in the garage now, I'll try to remember to take a pic later. It's just the front end and wheels, Rangers never had lots of chrome.

Chrome rifle rack? Is that what it is? I thought it was an umbrella holder.  ;D

Not that it mutt-ers, but I wanted to trans-mitt the notion that those vehicles are handy for traveling with dogs too. You know how that fine practice of rooftop transporting them has gone out of fashion.

To my eternal chagrin, I noticed that my Volvo V-70 has some chrome too ...

Sorry, it was pouring when I got back so no pics today. Nothing special, just a silver 2011 4x2 Supercab XLT 4-cyl 5-speed. Looks like this.
