I guess you are not on Facebook, but in his attached garage is a new 2014 2500 D-MAX. Maybe Mark will post it.

The new attached garage can fit 2 full size trucks a '69 Camaro and junk.

I wanted an attached garage you can pull into and open the doors on your vehicles.

Right now we have my company vehicle a 2015 2500 HD, Laura's company vehicle a 2014 King Ranch F-150 and Jack Ass in the attached garage.

In my experience the parts fit very well, much better than reproduction steel, but the finish is not to my standards as far as looking as nice as paint will. My fenders have fingerprints under the clear coat that you can see in the sun, along with a few specs of debris here and there. Not sure how Mark's parts are. Not trying to throw Anvil under the bus, I will still buy more from them and am planning on it, just not leaving them exposed.

I'm pretty sure carbon isn't as straight as people would like it to be because it is hand laid. Therefore, imperfections exist. Although, due to it being very pricey, many people expect it to be perfect aesthetically.

Yes all the time. Ford does some stuff well. Laura just got her 2014 F-150 and we drove it to Torch Lake. Ford changed the steering from 2013 to 2014. There My Touch system really sucks. But her truck tows a 26 foot enclosed well enough. Not as well as my 2500 HD D-Max but if you need to will get it done.

If you compare the 2014 Chevrolet 1/2 ton truck to the Ford 1/2 ton the GM wins hands down. My only issue with the 2014 GM Full Size Truck is the new radio controls are bad. Seems to be a common issue on a lot of new vehicles.

Those Dutchboys...

We all are very excited about the new car. As always Mark and Matt have stepped it up again. This car is bound to be the best one yet. We also have a cool paint sceme coming together. I'm sure Mark will share as we get a little closer to paint!
