Fabulous News!!!

Okay, I'm ecstatically happy, so I think I'm posting in the right place... The title to my car finally arrived on Friday, and serendipitously, I discovered a pickup truck at my favorite dealership, that was reasonably priced.&nbsp; I called and talked to one of the sales guys about a the possibility of a straight-across trade, and he ran some numbers, and told me to make sure the car looked good, and to bring it on down...<br /><br />Well, for more than two hours I detailed the interior of that car (the difficulty of getting yellow lab hair out of a dark interior was more than I'd imagined), then I ran it through the car wash, and drove to the dealership.&nbsp; The looked at the car, said it was beautiful, I drove the truck, looked at the maintenance records, read the carfax report, then waited for about 15 minutes, and the deal was struck!&nbsp; <br /><br />Driving the truck home it dawned on me that I hadn't even realized how much I missed my truck.&nbsp; I felt like I was home again.&nbsp; I pulled into the driveway, grabbed Bella and put her in the back seat, then took off down the road.&nbsp; It was so great, I almost forgot to turn around!<br /><br />Here's the link to the truck.&nbsp; I hope it works... And I know everyone has different opinions about which trucks are best, and so on, but please don't ruin it for me.&nbsp; Thanks!<br /><br />http://www.elkgrovedodge.com/sacram...hicleType_Pickup Truck~Price1_~Make_~Model_/7

<br /><br />Thank you, I love it!&nbsp; I'm going to do both... Trailer for long term needs, and a camper shell for short trips.

<br />WOW!!! How exciting for you, and how quickly things can change. I bet you didn't walk out of the dealership without this title firmly grasped in hand.<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" /><br /><br />If Bella doesn't mind sharing the back seat.....<br /><br /><br />

Hi Tammi...for some reason I can't make the link work. Any ideas?<br />Bri

Wow, that was quick.&nbsp; They must have JUST moved it, as my friend in Florida was able to see it about an hour ago.&nbsp; Here's a picture that I took, while I was waiting for paperwork.&nbsp; I'll take and upload some more today.
