My New Toy

Well, it's official...I have a new toy! And No, it's not Delilah!! It's my New (to me) 2004 GMC Yukon XL Denali. It's so pretty! It's red..sort of its more of a maroon color truly. But I love it just the same. I have missed having a big truck, so much; I liked my van and all but it's so much nicer in my truck. It has so much more space, not just for all the stuff that we lug around, but for the kids as well. We still can only fit our kids, but that is OK. It's nice that the little girls each have their own seats, and both have the LATCH system which is an upgrade from the van as well. The kids are just thrilled that it has a DVD system, with wireless head phones. Not that we ever really use them, cause we only have 2 sets, and 4 kids that would like them..but someday this will be wonderful! I can now listen to the radio while they are watching their movies, and not have to fight over which one is louder!

And of course, Sam being Sam had to make what he called "improvements". Those being little things like Headers, plug wires, and a new muffler and tip. Supposedly the headers are going to help with the fuel economy, still not sure how that is going to work, but hey if it does then YEAH right? The plug wires, well that is just standard (to me at least) stuff. And the muffler and tip...that Delilah and I spent our Sat morn at the muffler shop getting when she was 2 weeks old! It makes my truck just a smidgen louder, and well I like that! You know me, I gotta have the biggest loudest car that I can! But I really do love my truck, and I am so glad that Sam found it for me. And I am so glad that we were able to get such a great deal for it as well. Good Bye Minivan, Hello SUV!!!
