As I was saying in Yesterdays post...

My husband was up to NO good yesterday (Saturday)! We had gone to town to get groceries and he suggested we go over to Port Lavaca to the Dodge dealership. Since I've been in Texas that is where I go as I like the people there...I asked him what for? He said he just wanted to look at trucks, ugh! He promised me we were just looking! (Yea Right!)...I had been discussing with him that I wanted to get a small car/vehicle that was good on gas and use it to drive around in and save my Truck for when I need to haul something or work on the property...Mind you I said SMALL ECONOMY CAR!!!!!! It seems Fred had other things on his mind and it wasn't SMALL...

We got over there and he immediately headed to the trucks, hmmm, something is wrong with this picture...I told him those are NOT small cars they are NOT good on gas, he laughed!

Before I knew it he had picked out a blue metallic MEGA cab 1500 truck, ARGH!!!!!

We talked to the manager and decided to leave and talk about the deal they offered us...Well the manager didn't want us to leave and came up with an even better deal...one that was in our budget...one that I couldn't pass up...As it was trade for trade for my Mega cab, My baby, My sweet girl...shes gone, boohoo...This BEAST has replaced her...

Here is my husbands baby...sigh...It's BLUE!! Metallic BLUE at that YIKES!!

Do you know how hard it is to keep a dark Blue truck clean!! Do you know who will be cleaning this truck?? ME!! GRRRRR....Do you know why my husband fell in love with this truck? Because it is Blue like the Dallas Cowboy colors, oh GOOD GRIEF!!!

This is why it is called a MEGA cab it has room and lots of room for a growing 4 yr old to stretch out in...and a Momma that is over 5'10" tall too, lol...I have to admit I do like the interior...It has leather seats...the cloth seats in my "Old girl" were fabric and were constantly being steam cleaned every month...not kid friendly at all...Dodge really needs to do something about their fabrics...even rain would stain them!!

This morning when I walked out of the house and saw this Blue BEAST in my parking spot I grimaced...It's BLUE, ugh!! Where is my sleek silver baby the one that hardly shows the dirt?...Oh how I miss my girl!! But then my husband walked out and just beamed from ear to ear, he is tickled!! He loves the Blue Beast, he is positively glowing...Do Men glow?

Yes my husband has established this as his truck, see he already has the Cowboy steering wheel cover attached....Sigh...it's a lost cause...When I asked him why we got another gas guzzler as I have to sit home all the time to save money and not burn it up in fuel he laughed and said that was the whole IDEA!! The little imp!!

I had to throw this photo up here...My sleek silver girl is gone and this is one of the memories I have of her...She traveled well, and like me loved the Hill Country!! Now she is all alone and sitting in the dealerships lot awaiting her fate...good bye baby girl!!

I do have to say my husband is thoughful...He knows the hell I went through in the first chapter of my life and how I never had a reliable-dependable vehicle...It is a nice to have peace of mind while traveling down the South Texas roads...

(On anther note I made a deal with the Manager at the dealership that hopefully in the not to distant future I will be back for my economy vehicle and he quoted me a price that was a bit hard to refuse...we shall see what the future holds)
