My baby's here

The call came in at work around 10:30am to tell me my truck was on the way. Unfortunately, just as they were exiting I-5 at the Market Street exit here in town, a truck in front of the driver threw a rock and crack went the windshield on my new baby. Took my lunch late at 1:00pm, and got a ride to the credit union. And there she was... my beautiful new baby! The guy was already there replacing the windshield, so I went in and started signing the paperwork and loan documents. We weren't even finished when the guy walked in and handed us the keys.

The truck is even nicer than I'd hoped for. The camper shell, or canopy, or topper (depending on where you live) is a really nice one with gray carpeting attached for insulation. The interior is perfect, and it has not been smoked in. There's more room that I realized in back of the seats in the extended cab area. The third door is awesome. I know the dogs are going to love going for a ride now. Still has another year on the manufacturer's warranty. I purchased an extended warranty (6-years, 60,000 miles) so it's covered until the year 2011 or 77,527 miles. It rides and drives very well, and the first CD I played was Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head". Very, very cool. Yes, it's a guy thing.
