So the truck has been totalled. Or will be. Still haven't sent in the title to the insurance company til I find out how much I will be getting back for the settlement. Fun stuff I know. So much stuff has been going on that I haven't been in touch with the internet or much email for that matter. So let's catch up.
This past Friday night I went to the Bachelor party for Clay the best man in my wedding. Yes...the best man in my wedding is getting married before me...crazy huh? Anyways the party started at the Atlanta Dragway up in Commerce. He has a 1981 Chevy Scottsdale that he has dropped a big engine in and other mods as well. So we watched him do about four runs in the quarter and we headed down to the Waffle House in Dacula. We stay there for a good couple of hours waiting for another person to show up and watching all the high-schoolers that showed up. There was almost a fight between some rednecks and a group of black kids in prom gear. There was also a couple of burnouts in the parking lot. Then some guy in a 5.0 Mustang asked Tommy (one of my and Clay's groomsmen) to race his 350Z against him. We knew the kid in the Mustang was running something fast cause he wouldn't have challenged if he didn't think he could win. After that we went over the 24 hour Super Wal-mart and goofed around. I didn't get home til after 4am. Lets just say it was a wild redneck ride with those guys. And strangely enough no drink was involved.
Saturday was truck shopping day. I went around to a few dealerships just getting contacts. Walk in and see if they could get the truck I wanted. I wanted a Yellow or Sunburst Orange Colorado. I really didn't care about getting another Xtreme edition again. Since most production on the 2006 models have ended and the new models will be release in September, it was slim pickings. But I found a dealership in Stone Mountain that had five yellow Colorados. So I knew that was going to be where I was going to strike first. I went back (with my dad) and the original salesman I talked to wasn't there which was a good thing (didn't really like him anyway). So we went into negotiations. Now I brought my dad along cause he loves this stuff. We sent the salesman back to the sales manager probably around 6 times before we walked. That's right we walked cause my dad knew the guy would call with another offer after we left. He did. But my dad still thinks he can go lower so said he was going to work on it. I am hoping by Monday I will be in a new truck.
Today is the wedding shower put on by Dave and Lisa. I know I will be having a good time there. Maybe I will actually get to drink a little. Missing the blogger meetup means I didn't get my monthly mass consumption of alcohol like usual.
