Congrats! You could shamelessly promote your truck with a link :-P.

With those crummy small camera phone pics it looks really clean for a 12 year old car with 90+ thousand miles. Good find! Sure you got a great deal on it!

Welcome!! Why not keep the truck...when you need to carry things, you will soon find out that the Vette is often not ideal. Indy

If you look at the ad & pics you'll see the blue dodge in the background, that's mine too, and we have about 4 other work trucks and numerous trailers if I need to haul something. I don't need this truck other than to sell it to buy my vette.

I love the yeller too. Just haven't seen one in my $ range. I drove a torch red today and it was BRIGHT! I like the carmine red, it's a lil' subdued and classy.
