Car pics too cool not to share

Can someone explain to me why bright "safety" colored things are invisible from inside a vehicle? You're going to have to explain it to me like I'm stupid. I'm asking because years ago I backed in to one of those bright yellow deadman poles, then yesterday I backed my Jeep into my tractor, a Kubota, a very orange Kubota, and I'm the one who parked it where it was. I got lucky yesterday and my little receiver mounted skid I have on there to keep assholes off of my spare did it's job. I also got lucky on the tractor side as the skid just hit my back tire and bounced off.

Incase someone doesn't know what color Kubotas are.

On a side note my 5 year old gave me a good burn yesterday. I was doing a brake job and he asked me something to which I replied in a smartass tone "because I'm special", and he instantly shot back "no you're not'.

I drive a large red truck with all the fancy LED lights, I swear it's invisible to most people.

I hear Ford finally released an invisibility cloaking paint. I know it's hard to see, but there is a truck in the image below.

I've never heard of that one. Was it anything special, or just a paint scheme kind of thing?

No extra power or anything. Looks, tow package and climate control look to be what you get. Knew a couple people that had them.

From that article, the base price of a F250 "The Amarillo package added $2,030 to the truck's $37,455 base sticker price." I know it was expensive at the time, but I think that's pretty much the base price for a Ranger today.

How do the capabilities compare between a new Ranger and an old F250.

BlueC said:

Interesting question. From that article the '05/'06 F250 - "This package isn't purely a trim and styling upgrade though, and it includes a 10,000-pound GVWR tow package..."

Current Ranger

What I find interesting is apparently - from what I can see - there isn't a gigantic infotainment screen. Maybe a couple of tiny screens/displays? Of course it still has all the luxury bullshit and a double cab. I think I'm hallucinating about the infotainment - what am I missing?
