Birthday Present
Got home last Thursday night to find a 2011 6.7 KR in the driveway. Thought to myself Sancho has a nice ride. Lo and behold, the wife decided I needed a new ride! Truth be told, I kinda panicked at first. Just got 7.3 running like a scalded *ssed ape and really didnt want to get rid of it. Even after the first ride in the KR, I still didn't want to give up my pig. So... I didn't! She worked the deal so I could keep it as my "spare"! You just gotta love a woman like that!

Best part about the whole thing is now I can actually do some of the mods that take longer than 3 or 4 hrs. Just going to have to work a whole bunch of week-ends to get the thing paid for.
