Pulled the trigger on a new GMC last night. My 06 Chevy was a good truck and would have run longer but I drive a lot every day so it was time. I had that truck a long time so it was tough letting it go. Isn�t it crazy how attached we get to inanimate objects? Obviously it�s the memories attached to it. It was the first truck I bought with my own money. I found it online back in 2008 in TN so me and dad got up one morning early, stopped at McDonald�s on south parkway in Huntsville and pigged out on pancakes. Then we drove up to TN and brought it home. I had saved up a lot moving furniture at Two Men and a Truck but was about $8k short so had planned to finance it and pay it off in 12 months. I was about to graduate from UA and dad said he didn�t want me starting out in debt and since I had worked so hard in school his graduation present to me was enough to cover the difference. So, partly with my own money.
The first time I met my wife was in that truck. We had a mutual friend that introduced us on a blind date. I drove so the first conversation we had was in it.
I took my lab, Chief, home as a puppy with him curled up in the front seat on a towel asleep.
I proposed to my wife on Thanksgiving near my parents� house (I did it that day so the whole family would be there) and it was the truck I drove us back to my parents� house in.
It was the truck I drove over to the Dr�s office the day we found out my dad had cancer. Obviously not a good memory but I drove it over to the same office the day we found out he was in complete remission.
The list goes on...it was a good truck. On another note, this new one is sweet.
