Default Brand new (to me) truck.

Howdy

Been lurking the forums for a while, but never posted much, since I never really had anything to say.

Well, today I do.

Went to the local Chevy dealer with my ole lady to see if they had something to replace her Jeep Liberty with, and ended up trading my 02 GMC Half-ton in for this:

2009 2500
4wd, 4door, all that jazz.

And the best part?

I'm excited.


EDIT:

Yes, I know I have light plates on it. We just swapped the plates from my half ton over. They'll do until I pay the taxes on it and get heavy plates.

'Round here the dealer woulda given you paper temporary tags. If those plates are still registered to the half ton they'd consider them fictitious plates on any other vehicle. Big fine. But that's around here,I don’t know your area.

They can be transfered in Missouri, I know that for a fact. My understanding is that it's a 30 day grace period to pay my sales taxes and register the pickup. During that time the plates can hold me over, and my insurance from my old truck can cover this one.

Doesn't really matter, I'll have it insured and registered by the end of the week.

Thanks everybody. I would try to explain how freaking excited I am that I FINALLY own a diesel, but you all already understand the feeling

It's insanely satisfying to come down the hill coming off the highway, and slip her into 5th and hit the EB.
