Good Friday was VERY good!!!

Finally picked up the new truck on Friday. One word sums it all up...SWEET! She had 19 miles at the time of delivery with 208 on it at this writing. I don't know how accurate the trip comp is, but the fuel mileage average is about 16.5 on the first 1/4 tank of fuel. This is predominatly highway miles....with a few jackrabbit starts to try it out! The wife only just yesterday got to take it for a drive. I'll be shopping for accessories now and hope to add the K&N air filter before to long. My dealer here in Parkersburg did an excellent job and I would highly reccommend them to anyone. As for the quality audit I posted about earlier, I see where several others had the same problem. Mine sat from 4/5 till delivered. As you can see from the sig, it does have the silver paint on it, don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. I gave it a good detailing saturday and did'nt notice anything out of the ordinary about the paint. For those of you still waiting, its very much worth the wait for this caliber of machine!!
