Ouch. My work had to pay to replace a window and have the entire drivers side of my last truck repainted due to a guy driving a zero turn mower through the parking lot with the blades engaged. He drove through a pile of gravel and peppered the entire drivers side with the gravel. Tons of white dots (paint chips) all over and a blown out window.
 
I finished my trip to Fla. 2600 mile round trip yesterday.
The new 1500 Big Horn 4x4 ran like a champ - 3.0 SO - 3.55 gears - pulled Apx 2500 lbs of M/C trailer and stuff.
Ran 70 - 85 mph - 16.9 mpg. Got a high of 18.5 mpg and low as 15.7 mpg. IMHO it was because of the fuel. I used reg unleaded - some states gas is/was better mpg than others, also some states at night they were running 80 mph+ so that made a difference too.
This 3.0 impressed me. Passed slower vehicles easily - over 3000 rpm it's a rocket ship.
The ride quality - awesome compared to my old 7.3 f-350 dinosaur.
Back up camera with a trailer - GREAT !! Where was this tech when I drove 18 wheelers? LOL
Warning system - GREAT - Adaptive cruise control -GREAT - except for the "richards" that cut in front of you when they pass.

Electronics worked fine except for the Nav - we differed on the best route. Sometimes it would drop the route.
Touch screen need more than a "touch" to work. I'll try cleaning it good and see.
All in all - so far I'm happy with it's performance and comfort.

today:
was going to tackle the windshield wiper bottle situation but after bumping my head on the new tundra we building for customer one too many times I said F it and will deal with it later.
I've yet to see puddle on the ground or low windshield wiper fluid warning since I put a gallon of water in last week, so I'm not even sure wth is going on. I do know it's leaking somewhere because the fluid level is way less than it should be (i've only used the sprayer like 10 times in the past 7 days).

Went home, removed everything from the bed and camper for a wayyyyyy overdue cleanup. Threw the bed sheets and pillowcase into laundry machine, and rinsed the bed with the garden hose. Guess what I found?
Yeap, more dirt. I probably should've used pressure washer lol

also ordered $150-ish of Adam's Polish stuff off Amazon to be delivered tomorrow. This weekend I'll be doing (another) way overdue cleanup on the M3 and the truck lol nothing fancy just rinse, scrub, clean engine bay, apply some detailer, clean interior, and that's it. Not messing around with waxing or polishing because there's no point to do it now. M3 needs front bumper and hood respray from rock chips before I do a full decon and coat it and the truck... it gonna get dirty again next week lol

You have an M3? Really? I love them and it was the last job I held before the issue. E36, E46 and E92s I'm actually better than good at.
I'd love to find an E46 M3 that's unmolested, I'll leave the BMW love for another forum.
Did you get the kit Project Farm did his review on? That was amazing difference between the each brand.
