My wife said I should try enjoying some of the money I have worked so hard for. So, I bought a 2018 Chevy Colorado.
I bought all the safety options, leather seats because that is what the wife wanted, and white because that is what I wanted.

Congrats, enjoy it! Just pay attention where you park it at the mall, Wallyworld or any big parking lot, if Calif is anything like Texas. White pickup trucks are everywhere here.
(congrats as well for the PFF world's longest url)

Beautiful truck.

Although, I really do miss vehicles I could fix with a pair of pliers and a hammer.

Im not a truck person, but thats nice. Its great to have something you dont have to fix at all for at least a few years.

A friend bought a new high dollar Jeep Moab. It was nice with every option. He sent it to a truck customizer along with $40 grand and this is what they did to it. And btw, its not a wrap, and they did a complete color change from a beige color all in paint. His money, but I think its hideous. Its funny but its never off the freeway, unless its a surface street to get to a freeway. It will never be off of a paved road.

Hmmm, OK. To each their own..................

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but …
after a shooting, the problem is the gun....
Open your frigg'n minds, think about all the other tools that can be made into WMDs.

I sincerely hope that life is never discovered on another planet because, sure as hell Progressives and Socialists will want to send them money.

We have a guy here in town who did this, but in green and black.



Nice truck, but seeing it go down the road is a bit of a WTF? the 1st few times you see it. Kinda the same reaction a stock car on the streets would get.

Not sure how you got the diesel impression but, no. The V6 gas engine with 8 speed auto. New is nice but, everything is a compromise unless you have the Jay Leno car collection and the space to store it.

I garden so carrying steer poop is likely, and I take renters leftovers from hell to the dumps. I would not want to do that with a Jeep Moab.

At the height of winter there, it can get down to 40 degrees at night! I used to go to the store in a tee shirt and jeans and maybe a light jacket, and see people in full winter gear looking like they were going to climb Mt. Everest.

One of my co-workers that just moved back has been wearing his coat in the office, even though my thermometer says it's 72 degrees.
