New Truck

This story is actually Tony's story to tell but I've been hearing from people that we need to update the blog so here you go.

A couple of weeks ago Tony rolled his truck on interstate. He was fine. Didn't have a scatch on him, the the good Lord above. The Toyota didn't fare as well. The insurance ended up totalling the truck. So for the past week and a half we have been truck shopping. It was a lot of back and forth. At the moment we don't really need a full sized truck but we would like to have one in the future. After much hunting (the internet was a big help), Tony found a few that he wanted to go test drive. One day before his class in Rochester he test drove a few. Later that night he told me he thought he found his truck. After a quick phone call to the best mechanic in the world, I was like okay, lets go look at it tomorrow night after I get off work. The next day I go home for lunch. Tony's says I think I may have found a better truck. It was a year newer and it had less miles.

So that night was a long night. One truck was in Fairbault (about an hour North) and the other in Rochester(45min east of Austin). So we made a big trip. We got to Fairbault and the truck was up on the lifts. They were fixing something(like I said, Tony could tell this story much better). Anyways we got to Fairbault at about 5:30, expecting the test drive the truck and head to Rochester and test drive the other truck, but we had to get there by 8. We both knew we'd be cutting it close since they were working on this truck(kind of a bad sign huh). I think it was 6:45 by the time we were able to get in the truck. Drive it for a bit and headed to Rochester. Tony was thinking he liked the one in Rochester better, and after seeing that one, I did too. So that's the truck we got.

We had to go back the next night to get it and sign all the paperwork but so far we have enjoyed it. It's definently something we plan to have a very, very long time. Probably the biggest downside of it is it doesn't fit in the garage :( Which means we, or I rather, get to play musical cars in the morning if I want to take the car to work. Oh well, I'm in love with the truck...I've always wanted a big truck although it came a little sooner than we planned.
