Meet Odysseus!



Our new (to us) Dodge Ram 2500! It was sad to see our faithful old F150 go, but it was time. We put so many miles on that truck, and the last compression test Thak ran came out really uneven. We had two options, either get a new truck, or buy a crate engine for the existing one. Since we needed four doors anyhow so we can more easily get the kids in there, we decided to go ahead and look around last Saturday at what the local dealerships had to offer, price range wise. We figured out what we could afford, and found a lot of things that were within price range, but still more than we wanted to pay. Then we drove all the way over to the west side of town, and found this one. It's a certified preowned Dodge, which means it came with a warranty. It's a 2006, and has not many miles at all. Our payments after trade-in, well, let's just say a Private could afford them so long as they were single.

We're THRILLED with our new truck! See? Even Orren likes it! (OK, so he likes the shiny Ram on the steering wheel!!)
