x2, except having worked for Team Green, it didn't take long to learn that there are no foreign vehicles in their fleet. One used to be able to distinguish what funding was used to purchase which rigs by their color, along w/how well they were correspondingly maintained (GSA $ = white rigs, better resale value, longer PM intervals)
Ref the color: my employer also used/s a distinct color, which adds approx 10k to the purchase price of each vehicle. We don't worry so much about resale, as the FS flips rigs every 5 or so years, and we move 'em to back line status at 10y+.
