    Congrats, but I'm pissed. :mad: The very first person who replied got it. Then I looked at your location .... S. CAL. Perhaps being from a small town in E. WA we don't see those trucks often. And NEVER that shiny. Guess you guys have them more often than we do. (Our cows are in the back yard, not inside tankers. :)

    I was so impressed by the picture I snapped it. Cropped it. And here's the original.

    I dont know if there are more out here. Its possible I'm just more aware of them when I see them because I used to like watching my car's reflection as I drive by :D

    Well, I'd didn't get a chance to reply quick enough, and am also not used to seeing tankers without logos on the back. But the picture is obviously a reflection -- the yellow center line of the divided highway is otherwise on the wrong side -- and the reflecting surface is neither planar nor spherical, but has a slight horizontal cylindrical component. With all the technical folks in the forum, a solution should have come quickly.
