Long day at the dealership...

A few things... I am one of these people that will never be without a car payment, I can live with this and I have budgeted my finances to adjust for this. As my 2008 hit 60K miles I figured it would be nice to have a truck under warranty that I could appreciate again (minus my share of dents, scratches, character dings and etc). I was also thinking about putting a few $$$ into the items I wasnt pleased with (crappy ebay BHLM, 2.5 billies not allowing full alignment, misc holes drilled over time for forgotten about projects). I checked my local credit union, saw that the rates were very very low and started shopping around. I have always wanted a 4x4 manual but could never afford the extras at the times I purchased...

All of this rolled into one big ball allowed me to justify the truck. My payment is actually lower (granted more time on payoff), I have my 4x4 Manual, the "new" changes really appeal to me and I have a fresh pallet to paint my next projects onto...

Thats my story and I am sticking to it...
