Great truck man! I love the look of a regular cab, short-box truck. The flares look good too.
Thanks for the props on the truck, even if it is a 'lowly Colorado'!

And your concern regarding India and China are valid, but not much different than other emerging nations 30 years ago (Japan's growth, West Germany returning to economic prominence and countless other nation's who've grown by leaps and bounds over that time and no longer are).

The one thing I've learned about the economy and life in general is that "Nothing stays the same" but also, "The more things change the more they stay the same".

Both India and China will not get a free pass forever. Either they will need to fall in line w/ other developed nations at some point or their excess will begin to kill all their people which will either reduce their use/demand or the ppl will demand change to protect their children, too.

It all evens out in the wash...
