    Oh wow, thanks everyone :) In response to all the posts:
    Just got back last night, safe and sound...
    I work for a Canadian company, but run mostly lower 48.
    It was a load of plastic bottles, so you were close.
    I bought some chrome/aluminum polish for her, but haven't had the chance to use it yet.
    Once I have some $$ to spare, I'll definitely be adding lights and other pretty things to her :)
    NM was great, but the roads (54 and 39 I think) were really rough.
    I have a bunch more photos to upload, so maybe I'll start a blog or something to keep them in one place. Don't know how a blog works, so wish me luck haha

    Did you take those bottles out by Golden somewhere to load them or get a load? I'm asking because I think I loaded there before. Is that in S.E. Calgary? I am also a Canadian driver.:biggrin_25519:

    Haha ya it was out in SE Calgary, but I took them to Delta to be unloaded... Calgary is so confusing to drive in and near impossible to get out of, I swear!
