Looks good Bob! Now, in order to get the most out of your old truck you want to find three for sale as similar as possible. Find the 3 most expensive ones. When they give you an offer, tell them no way, this is what it costs to replace it. They will come up, they also pay T,T,L too!

They've already gave me a price, and it isn't enough. They're talking $25,300, and that isn't bad since I drove my truck almost 3 years, put 30K on it, and only paid $22,800 for it. But, right now $25k, won't replace that truck. My truck had low miles, and near mint condition. I'm thinking more like $28K for my truck. And I have an argument waiting for the Tax, Title, and License part too.

Glad you finally found out bob.
We made it to Asheville about 11:30 today, pulled out the driveway about 5am. The GPS said it would take 6 hours, of course I hit rush hour in Raleigh all the way through the work zone, then for a couple more miles. So that slowed us down a bit, but not to bad. We rode a few miles on the Blue Ridge parkway this afternoon waiting for check in time. Plan on heading to Maggie Valley tomorrow and checking out the Wheels through time museum. Then back to tackle the Devils whip and Diamond back Saturday.

David, Let us know if you get chance to get together for dinner. It might be a bit impromptu, but most of us slackers can usually get together most any evening for a bite. It's always good to meet other members.
Bob, Was going to call CarMax and see if I could put a deposit down on that truck.
But haven't gotten around to it yet.
Larry, enjoy your trip!! It should be fun, sure which I was out there as well.
Hey James, do you have a motorcycle jack that's not being used right now? Thinking it's about time for me to replace the rear wheel bearing and battery as well as oil\filter on the CB 919 so I can get it inspected and running again.

Well fellers, Shari and I will be heading out the door in the next 465 minutes or so to go see this truck that I have on hold, just outside of Charlotte. We're hoping to be able to leave with it, but that's doubtful until we get the other truck paid off, and some money back from our insurance company.
So fingers crossed, and we should be able to go pick it up early next week, if all goes right.
Y'all be safe
