What's the old saying? There is no such thing as bad publicity. All those people have seen the pic and are talking about it, sharing it and talking about it more. If this got spread enough it could find its way onto an internet publication and with a new cote of paint could probably get a spread in a truck or Toyota performance magazine, especially considering the high miles on it I'm sure some Toyota writer somewhere would love to do an article. For a truckin article it would most likely be an article on how to improve FE and they'd use BZP's truck as an "extreme" example but it's still more pics in front of more people who talk to more friends; good publicity. And all he had to do was park at a store and let some guy take a pic of the truck.
