Default Well guys, I had to do it

I traded the truck in a few weeks back, sorry i waited so long to tell yall. I just couldn't handle the 400$ a month gas bill, maybe after i get settle in a house and got all my **** straight (Get the woman a ring and deck the house out) I'll get another badass truck, till then im rolling around in a 2012 mazdaspeed 3

Hey, I had to roll around in something atleast as fast as my truck was lmao .

Oh NO! (link) Most of us have been through something like that, you're always welcome here. Gotta at least lurk and get ideas for your next one, right?

I was waiting on this post Steven.
Hell at least your not making payments still. My truck has been at Gay Pontiac for 2weeks. the scratched it up and put four gouges in the paint. They tried using a paint pen AGAIN! and wouldn't do anything, so i left it there called GM in Detroit and let them deal with it. So far nothing yet! So at least you got a car you like to drive. I'm in a new terrain and although its nice, i miss my truck! Wonder if i should say anything about not having it for so long yet making payments on it.

Sorry to hear that OP, but I hope everything works out the way you want. I agree with Phil, and hope you stick around until you can get back into a truck.

Do stick around......I'm sure your past experiences and opinions wil help someone. I wish I still had the first truck I ever owned.....95 silverado rc z71. Those were the days. You'll be back in a truck.......impossible to stay in a car.

Yea man, pretty close. My friend took his 2011 out and it ran a 14.0@105mph bone stock, they move quite nicely.

Yes, I will be back in a truck before to long. My girlfriend is even a little upset I don't have the truck anymore lmao. Maybe GM will put a 7.0 in the next body style truck !
