journaling:
When James was on his way home from his fishing week on the Detroit River, his engine light came on. It turned out to be his transmission. He took it to Pro Transmission and they quoted him $6k to fix it. Ugh. The whole truck wasn’t worth much more than that, so we decided that we had to start looking for a new truck for him. This was a year before we really wanted to do this, but he needs a truck in order to pull his boat, so decision made. James has been watching YouTube videos about Chevy trucks for well over a year, so he already knew what he wanted. We took one trip to Holland and test drove a few, but they weren’t exactly what he wanted and I told him to be patient and wait for what he really wanted. He found THE truck at a dealer in Kalkaska (3 hours away), so a week later we drove up there and picked it up. James LOVES his new truck and is so excited that he wants to drive everywhere we go. Ha ha!

I'm so happy for him, and I don't even know him! LOL! That is a fine looking truck! I love your super-sized title and using the rolodex card for journaling.
 
so that saying about 'everything's bigger in texas'?! how freaky huge are things in your state and what saying does michigan have?!!! 'truck' is right, that thing looks like it could haul a house on the back of it (trucks here are like Mack trucks for road freight but man, everything has gotten bigger in the car sales yards, except for parking spaces *sigh*- anyway perfectly fitting to use a huge title and alpha that almost looks like it's tire tracks of smooshy paint

Yeah, his truck is stupid big. I have only driven it once and I don't like how big it is. I feel like I can't even see the road because it's so tall. Michigan has no saying for this stupidity! :giggle

(so how big is his boat? like titanic size?!)

Uh, no. It's only a 19 foot fishing boat. He did NOT need this big of a truck for his boat. But he was thinking that if he bought the next size up of truck, that maybe it would last longer since it wouldn't have to work so hard to pull the boat? I dunno. I think he just thought it looked "tough" so he liked it for that. Gotta have a manly truck. :eyeroll
 
ha! yep it's certainly not something i'd describe as feminine - and i guess that logic about having over and above level of pulling capacity makes sense in terms of torque or whatever physics stuff applies here but i also know that my DH and now DS will throw this kind of science backed argument at me sometimes as justification but it doesn't always actually stand up lol

Yeah, there was a sprinkle of science throw at me to justify a heaping pile of "This looks cool and I WANT it!" :giggle
