Default New car, and a new Screen Name!

Well, since the repairs and a new motor for the Grand Am were going to be OUTRAGEOUS, my parents decided that they wanted no more car trouble worries (after the car dieing in the middle of an intersection with no where to go) and went to Bill Heard Chevrolet.

Needless to say, I now have a 2006 Silverado. It's the mineral grey metallic color (brand new for 06). Has the 5.3L v8, 4L-80E? tranny, sport suspension package, chrome accents, 17" alloy wheels, and the 2500HD hood.

With the employee discount you couldn't pass it up. Great guys I worked with there too. And I LOVE the truck! 296hp / 335 ft.lbs. torque isnt bad at all. I'm taking it to the Park-N-Ride Saturday so come on down if ya wanna see it lol. Or I'll put some pics up if you'd like!
