I bought a new truck

[Hummingbird]

I really didn't want to but -

 

I was 500 miles from home, damaged front end (all steering and linkage) as well as a little body damage to my 2011 Silverado Z71 LT

After considering the long drive back home with a possibly defective steering etc. I decided to just buy a new truck.

The Chevy dealer that I had the truck towed to had a 2013 Silverado Z71 LTZ same color as mine and equipped pretty much the same but more.

We started haggling at 3 in the afternoon and by 5:30 I owned a new truck. Picked it up the next morning.

Very nice. The picture could be a bit bigger to really show it off though.

It's been raining all morning, finally stopped for a few minutes - unfortunately it still has road grime on it but maybe these pics will be a little better

Looks good, Dick, hope it lasts you a long long time!

Does the existing road grime tell us what the truck will usually look like?

Bobby - I thought the last one would be the last one, that's what I keep telling linda

 

The 2011 only had 30,000 miles on it but I was skeered about residual front end damage and they made the deal pretty attractive.

 

I bought the same color as the 2011 in the hopes that Linda wouldn't notice that I got another truck but I chickened out and called her the next day to tell her I bought it.
