Getting you a new one? It's not like a bowl of soup! Couldn't they have fixed whatever the problem was?

OK...the saga is finally over!
The dealer chose to give me a different car than the one ordered and figured it was close enough! Amazing...I've bought lots of cars of the years and this is a new one to me. So after some grief, they found me the proper car and all is well...until I decide I need those turbos!!

I'll post some pics in a minute!

looking good, but by seeing what else is in that garage (speed, cobra, turbo) I think its gonna be REAL soon that your gonna be needing that CTT, until then enjoy this one in good health

too bad the snow just left in your case cause it would have been fun to break her in during some real truck weather lol

I figured that it was a strong possibility of it being black

How about calling friends that have excellent photography skills for a photoshoot once in a while?

I really can't get over my insanity that white cars are for girls...it's always there in the back of my mind...I like the way it looks...but my brain keeps saying it's a girl's color...I have some real issues!!

Hmmmm....who do I know with photography skills...if you know anyone tell them to limp over to a phone and call me.
