Default Got myself a new toy....

Well, I decided to get a another truck. The soccer shuttle never had a place at the track. It tows well but I need more cargo space for tires & stuff and also light parchment interior and grease don't mix. It has enough power but the short wheelbase can get hairy in the wind. So I decided to get a Denali or Escalade. But I came to my senses feeling that I'd get the wheelbase but nothing else AND I'd spend 25k+ over trading in a perfectly fine vehicle.....

Yet another to the stable. New? Makes no sense. I need a tow/errand vehicle. Saved a ton of $$ and got a 2005 1500 Ram Hemi Quad Cab with the HD front & rear axles and 4.10s. It's certified 6/80 powertrain and has a 2/24 added care bumper to bumper. I can do without the chrome wheels but it is what it is.

Kyle & I are gonna have a mod party. Got all the goodies at home for it. Then off to the Pine Barrens for some wheeling......

thanks everybody! With the deals out there I'd be crazy to trade up rather than buy a spare!

Rick, go big or go home! Now it's time to step it up with the GTO once Walt is feeling up to it. Poor guy messed himself up but good.

I'm surprised you even remember what it looked like! All I know is I was hungover during dinner and Barry was quiet as a mouse....so I guess he was feeling it too.

Good times.

.....and for once im speechless. LOL! Barry that was priceless.

Mark, I'm still thinking about Tyler's teacher.

BTW, **** you about those lemon squares. Do you have any idea how she went on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on & on about me not being considerate enough about getting them? Since you guys didn't come back, we went to a pizza joint and none were eaten. Well, hell hath no fury like a Wife who baked for no good reason.

hahahaha, the timing on my exit seems to have worked out quite nicely then.

We wound up going to a Hibachi/sushi place right on rt9, changed out of our suits in the car and we went in and had a few drinks (like I needed more Sake' no less) and actually had a very nice dinner. I did have a lemon wedge in my seltzer.
