Santa Was Good to Me!

Flying to Spokane tomorrow to pick up my SSR!

04, Red, one local owner/clean CarFax, 11,700 miles, MP112 MagnaCharger, BIG speakers in the bed, chrome package, color coded running boards. Has all the original injection gear and the original window sticker. She's beautiful!

Say a chant for any precip on Snoqualmie Pass be be in liquid form...

Hope to be back in beautiful downtown Des Moines for Monday Night Football.

I'll only have her to drive for a couple of weeks before she goes into winter storage. Any Puget Sound get-togethers in the next couple weeks?

This one was indeed a good buy. I was curious what the box in the cargo was for but speakers it is.
I think you meant chrome wheels (not chrome package) as it appeared the int/ext is satin finish.
Polished S/C, chrome wheels, body colour boards, low miles, excellent price - What's not to like?
And a just to top it all off! Congratulations! Very nice.

Congrats to you on your choice of color. Red Rules. Looks like a very nice truck. Hope the weather is good but from what I hear it is snowing in the hills. Drive safe.

Cdubya - Please POST when you are home safely !!

Loving our SSR's so much, we are all praying for a safe trip home for you with your new baby ! Our erratic weather makes planning for dry roads nearly impossible at this time............ none of us want you to have difficulties beyond "getting it dirty" !!!

We look forward to meeting you soon !!

Thanks for all the good wishes and congrats!

Got to Spokane at 10:00 AM but the final detail and paperwork took three hours. Got on I-90 westbound at 1:30 after a quick bite.

The truck is amazing! Even exceeded my very high expectations. Tight with a remnant of fresh plastic and dead cow aroma in the cabin.

Started up the pass just about dark, 4:00ish. Started snowing at about 2,000 feet and the summit is 3,000+. A trio of snow plows got in front of my group and I was first in line behind one. Mixed blessing - better traction through the about 6 inches of new snow but sand (and gravel) flying everywhere! Two lanes were formed in the three that really existed. But, of course, as the two lines followed the plows at a very reasonable 25 mph, the occasional IDIOT squeezed into the middle at 45+!!!

Dropped down into Snoqualmie/North Bend in very heavy rain. Rain stayed all the way home where I arrived at 7:00.

A Crown Royal and a second half of a very good football were my reward at the end of the road! (Okay, TWO Crown Royals...)

Examination this AM revealed two very small chips in the hood front just right of center. Other than dirty, the truck is unscathed otherwise. All in all a successful crossing in adverse conditions.

Discovered I can't post photos in my profile so I'm going to try to remember what photo hosting website I've used before.

For my introduction see the thread "Okay Here I Am".

Happy New Year all!

Thumbs up WELCOME and Good Driving Home!!

Welcome from the west side of Washington State,PACNW SSR FANATICS!!
WOW, you had plenty courage to weather the pass behind the snow plows. Your very lucky you only had a few minor chips! My first car I bought from a Dealer in southern California,trucked it up to Federal way in December,not covered,the truck driver pulled over along side the road to catch a few winks,the snow plow hit him doing about forty miles an hour and machined gunned the entire left side of the once cherry cadillac eldorado cpe with 40k original miles,completely destroyed the car! Blasted small bits of charcoal like ground up pieces they put on the roads in the Siskiyou Mtns.Anyway,nitemare aside,glad you got home with needing just soap and water to cure your ills!
Look forward to meeting you and your "R" this Spring or when we all can meet etc! Nice truck!
