Out With the New, In With the New....

We bought a new truck, we bought a new truck! We are both very excited to introduce to the world our new 2007 GMC Sierra crew cab!

**In very offical car show lady-on-the-platform voice**
This handsome four door pick up truck in Silver Birch Metallic can hold up to six passengers and tow up to 8500 pounds. It's power windows and locks, 360 degree approach to safety, all terrain handling, active fuel management, stalibitrack traction control system, and GMC warranty makes this truck the best in it's class and rated the 2007 truck of the year.

I just copied all that great info that doesn't really mean much to me from the GMC website. We've really really enjoyed driving it so far and Josh gets to practice parking in the garage at his work this morning. That is the biggest adjustment so far. We've had some good laughs trying to get that thing in and out of the driveway with all the neighbors trash cans and fences in the alley. The actual handling is great and I know before long we'll be whipping in and out of tight places. I love the feel of it on the road and I really really can't wait to throw some camping equipment in the back or lower the tailgate for the fourth of July. Tailgates are just a good thing to have around if you ask me!

Here are some pictures of the sad little Mazda 6 as it was deemed a total loss. On a funny side note, the adjusters name was Bobby Roberts! I know it doesn't look like a huge mess from the pictures as its mostly internal. What we've figured out is that labor costs A LOT, plus many parts for new vehicles are just darn expensive. Take for example the headlights alone were almost $500 each. The water pump was almost $1000. There was a ton of electrical that was severed and of course the big whammy was the frame was bent. That seems to always be the clentcher. So now we say goodbye to our good friend the Mazda and welcome to the family our new addition.
