Greetings from South Florida

Postby 52CANES [OP] » Feb 28 2011, 7:50am

Hey everyone, I'm very happy to have found the forum! I'm from Tampa, FL but I have been bouncing around South Florida for 5 years now. I'm down in Delray Beach at the moment after stops in Hialeah (and i can't speak spanish lmao - Wiki hialeah if you don't know why thats funny), and a few different towns in Broward County.

FINALLY I'm back to a GM truck. My first real vehicle purchase when I was 20 was a 99 GMC Sierra Sport Regular Cab. For some reason I went ahead and traded that for a 2002 F150 extended Cab. 2 full transmissions in 48k miles later I traded that for a 2007 Chevy Tahoe lease. As nice as Tahoe's are, I seriously missed having a pickup.

Now as of 6pm Sunday I am back to GM and pickups with:

2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Extended Cab 4 x 2 in Blue Granite Metallic. First vehicle i've driven regularly that hasn't been Red, Black, or White and I'm loving the color.

The only one great thing about owning the F-150 was the online community at F150online. So, I'm hoping to enjoy a similar or even better community experience here at SilveradoSierra.com.

Oh yeah, and I'm a diehard Miami Hurricanes fanatic ;)

Thanks GMman. Something funny. There is a guy on the Miami Hurricanes Rival site who lives in Arkansas and he painted a giant Miami Hurricanes logo on his lawn during football season lol. You can even see it if you zoom in on Google Maps.

Welcome to our great, big happy family. As much as I love Minnesota, there are some days were I wish that I could go down to Florida just for a day...
