Outside my Windows I - A Magical Morning

[Michigunner]

Dave,

Your wife is beautiful.  Your truck is great.  You are a lucky guy.

The color is perfect.  That will be my color next time, after having white the last two times.

My F-150 doesn't have much room for groceries in a single seat.  You can pile them into the back.

And those lights on top!  It will look like a professional coming down the interstate.  Way to go!  And 4-wheel drive.

All the perfect combination for a fine gentleman like you.

Congratulations.  Thanks for sharing, too.

So - who is one lucky son-of-a-gun?!!  Haha - great stuff Dave - that is one handsome truck (and lady).  

Even as a Chevy guy I have to say that is a great set of wheels.  Nice pics.

Thanks guys,

Drove the truck about 200 miles in a day.  Most was a trip to a sports shop a ways from me and to vist my parents.  It is nice.

Chris - my 2002 I traded in was a Chevy but I just can't get past the new style slanted headlights.

I keep returning to see Dave's truck.  What a beauty!

It looks long to me.  Could it be the longest they make?

In a year or so, I'll probably buy one just like it.  I hope by then they will have a navigation system integrated into the dash.

You never know when you might have to go on instruments.  Ever once in a while, we leave the local interstate because of traffic jams, and get lost completely.

My notebook has a wonderful GPS system attached, but one day we had to get the windshield replaced, and it contains material which does not allow passage of radio signals from the satellites.  What a bummer!

Anyway, that's a fine looking truck.  One of the best looking imagineable.

Went to put the new truck in the garage last night.  Had to fold the mirrors in and have Nancy help guide me.  Almost like those guys at the airport when a plane rolls up to the gate  and they wave those special flashlights left and right.  As can be seen from the below photo it just fit - and when we built the garage we made it bigger than the plans.  

They make the truck with an 8 ft. bed - this is 6.75 ft. - now that may have not fit.

As far as a navigation system my wife feels I'll need one in the future to find my way back home.  Never know I might.

Dave, its a problem with big trucks. My Ford E350 van, had it outfitted for wheelchair lift and can drive from the wheel chair, so it is about 8.6 to 9' high. Had to lift the car port up to fit the van in.

That truck is really something.  Looks like the garage is custom fitted.

That's my next truck!

The car is Nancys'.   Before that she was driving an '85 buick rivera turbo until it died - they only made 1300 of them.  In fact my previous '02 truck was our first new vehicle in 19 years.  Never owned a vehicle from the 90s.  My wife's work required her to have a nice car.  Having two current model year vehicles is not the norm for us.

Did that 85 have the same motor as the Grand National?

All this Yankee talk about 4X4's and Big HonkinŽ trucks,
I thought I'd take a short break to show youn's guys how
we like to drive around in December here in Atlanta;^)

The car is a '99 Porsche Boxster, with 72K (that's not what
I paid for it;^), and in, I don't know any other word to
describe a 7 year old car but 'pristine'. I'm very
shocked and amazed I talked my wife into letting me have
this car. It's SO impractical, but my pals have been dying
around me, and I'm feeling a little mortal myself, so I stopped
pining for a convertible and made it happen. Somehow...


I hope this pic shows up. If not, I'll try again...

Steve -  you haven't seen "leaves" on the ground until you have been to my house.

Just plowed the road - changing from freezing rain to snow, back to the freezing rain - and so forth.

BTW-
Notice I'm all grins* and also notice my Coronado Concealment Vest, in which I'm packing my R9S!

Steve
*grinned so hard, my cheeks started to cramp!

[R9SCarry]

Nice wheels Steve - well worthy of that broad grin LOL!

This is not something that goes into ''need'' territory - it takes the label - ''just because''  

[Michigunner]

I've got one, too.  Coronodo leather vest, that is.

The car is beautiful.  Thanks for sharing with us.

That's the way to go around in real style.

Hey Steve, with that cap on your hair will not blow in the wind.
Be free my friend, the heck with a sun burn.
Great wheels, fly low under the radar.
