Larry, I'll tell you one thing. Our Chevy sure was a part of the "family"! When on our test drive, both of my boys said they would rather keep the old truck. One of them cried the whole way home with the new one. We had that truck from before they were born. It represented everything we'd done as a family...taking them home from the hospital, camping trips, going to grandma's...everything. It most certainly was a part of our family. I genuinely could have come home without a new truck and been happy.
texasclarks, thanks. We are sooo looking forward to this trip. And now, we don't have to alter our route to avoid passes. Bring it on!
