New guy from SoJo.

Postby Rymanh24 [OP] » Jan 25 2011, 7:21pm

Well I have been checking all the Silverado forums out for the past week or two deciding which one to join. My answer is obvious!

I was going to introduce myself awhile ago but wanted to wait until I pulled the trigger and actually bought the truck.

So here it is!

Image

Image

2011 Silverado LT 4x4 with Z71 Suspension Package, no Z71 Appearance Package but I did get the wheels!

Imperial Blue with Ebony Cloth Interior

All-Star Package


This is the 2nd truck I have ever owned. I first had a 1993 Ford F-150 Flareside Red. It was an awesome truck, but due to the rising gas prices and the trucks reliability I had to get rid of it. Of course gas prices will go back up, but this truck does much better on gas.

My vehicle after that was a 2006 Ford Fusion which will be dearly missed. It was hit 4 times in the past 5 years! That car had some bad mojo. It was hit days before X-mas 2010. I had it fixed right before the new year. I only had it for a week and some guy ran a stop sign on January 7th. So now I pulled the trigger and decided to get a truck again since I look goofy getting out of a car. I'm 6'5" so, yeah.

Look forward to posting on this forum!

Welcome to the site. Might want to upgrade the bumpers if you're that much of an accident magnet! :D

Lol!

I was debating on whether I should go buy some 2" steel bars and shave down the ends to spikes and weld them to the frame off the front and rear of the truck. So whether they run a stop sign and I hit them or they rear end me I destroy their vehicle.

welcome to the site, maybe you should lift the truck as well so if you get hit it won't be as much body work. J/K but welcome and hope you luck gets better!
