The boss is supposed to pick up his Platinum tomorrow. He will trade in his Tundra if they give him a decent deal on it, otherwise will sell it himself.

Be interesting to see how he likes the EB. He hasn't driven it or seen it yet, so guess he could back out. He drove one just like it at a different dealer, except it did not have the moon roof.

I have trouble understanding how you cope with that all the time. I could not do it, I don't think.

you seriously have no idea though how gutless the old 6 deuce is (93 chev extended cab 4x4 6.2L diesel with ~280,000 miles). I was driving home down the highway and came upon an E series van doing 55mph. I got behind him and waited for the opportune time to pass. The road is dead flat and straight for as long as the eye can see. It was bright, sunny, and visibility was 100%+. Waited for a stretch of highway where i couldn't see ANYTHING coming. I pin the old 6 deuce a minute passes I get up to him, 2 minutes pass and switch over to the lane, 3 minutes pass and I get beside the van. and the poor old guy was looking at me like I was retarded as the old straight piped 6 deuce is screaming at red line right beside him. I look ahead and see there is a car a good 4-5 miles ahead coming towards me but I WASN'T gonna make it. I had to ease off the throttle and get back behind the van.....

Snowstorm! I'm sitting here with the AC on waiting on a rainstorm to come through later tonight. Close to 80 today with wind gust's up to 40 mph. Be careful in the snow.
