A New....

Car! Well, I guess it's a truck. Yesterday we bought our first ever brand new car (from the dealer)! Very crazy and extremely out of character for us (1, it's a chevy, and 2, it's new!). Matt found this crazy good deal on a very specific model truck and the local dealer just happened to have one left (it took matt a while to get them to accept the online offer on this truck). The truck's sticker price was 20k, but Matts internet deal got us the truck for 12k! I've never owned a brand new car (Matt has, but not me) and it feels kind a weird. It's also weird that Matt will be driving a "normal" vehicle (I don't think I need to elaborate here...). I guess I feel better about the purchase because there were used trucks on the lot (same model just an earlier year) whose sticker was higher than the price we paid for the new one. I must say that I didn't enjoy the whole "dealer" experience, something about it just felt slimey. Anyway, here are some photos of what it looks like now, and a couple crazy ideas Matt has for it :) (you didn't really think he'd keep it normal for long, did you???)
