+6.7 -7.3 =??

Well, I did it. I traded my 2000 7.3 for a brand new 6.7 which will be delivered to me on Monday. Torreador Red to Autumn Red, maybe nobody will even notice but me? I am very excited. It is crazy when I compare the 2000 brochure to the 2012. I am doubling HP and torque, and have a 50% higher tow rating. Plus the XLT with a few options will be way more than I could have ordered on my 2000 Lariat.

Anyway, can't wait til the car hauler calls me Monday.

Pictures posted in my garage

I floundered around and finally got two pictures posted in my garage I believe. One of the new truck and one with both trucks side by side. I don't have time to get good at posting pictures yet. In fact, I can't figure out how to quickly navigate around and get to threads I have posted on etc. Juat takes time to figure it out. One thing that drives me crazy is that every single time I post or page forward or back, I have to sit and wait for many seconds for the site to perform the action and load the page. I do not know if iti siall the ads that load or what, but it really diminishes my desire to use the site. It feels like I stepped back into dial up when I use this site compared to all the other sites I use.

Anyway, the new truck is amazing.

My Beagle does not like my new truck

Oh, my little beagle does not like my new 2012 6.7. It is so quiet she does not hear me coming and does not know I have pulled into the garage. She has always met me at the end of the driveway with my 7.3, now she does not know I am there utnil I slam the door!

It is absolutely amazingly quiet.

Nice looking trucks and I'm a fan of beagles, too.
The Autumn Red turned out to be a nice color option.

Very nice. If I had the cash now I'd be trading too. Have fun with that new truck, I hear you're going to have big-grin-itis for awhile
