Me and my new red truck

So, last Thursday or Friday night I did a late night Gym Run... getting there the car started fine, like it always does, however upon my attempted exit from the Gym, I had 'car start Failure' occur.

Justin, (I think,) an Employee at Apple, didn't want me getting frost bite at 3AM on my walk back from the Gym, so he gave me a ride home - which I thought was very kind! I only live 9 or 10 blocks away, but he's right, it was COLD! ( a good below zero night, I'm sure.)

Anyway the next day I attempted a restart, and the day after that. I talked to the Manager of the club, and he was very cool about me having my car parked there till I could impose on my Dad for help getting a Tow to a shop.

Long story short, several attempts to start the car, and two mechanics later, the verdict was in, the Engine was dead - no chance of revival.

so, my brother, father and I discussed options, and decided to go with buying a vehicle instead of investing more into the car, which was getting on in age...

I'm REALLY happy with the truck! It's perfect, for me - the 4 wheel drive makes me feel much better about a truck in the winter ice and snow, and I have always been a fan of Extended Cab's.

here are the pics:

Thanks Dad for helping with trying to get the blue car revived, and the help with the Car Shopping, (something I normally vehemently hate doing,) you too Trent! thanks to both of you guys for the help!

Wade (now with upgraded wheels,) -out.
