Noobie In The Northwest

06pirate · September 20, 2008

Greetings, peeps! I bought my GMC truck over a year ago, but just got around to finding a good forum to waste more time on. I already spend too much time on my motorcycle boards, but I figure I can't go wrong here. Looks like some good folks. Background: My GMC is a 2006 Sierra SLT Extended Cab 4WD, trailer package, 5.3 V-8, bought used with 25,000 miles, now has 39,000. My other truck is a 1990 Toyota 4WD X-Cab with 356,000 miles. In January of 2007 I bought a brand new (actually not yet built, I had to wait for it) Toyota Tacoma X-Cab, 4WD, trailer, V-6, 6-speed, TRD Off-Road. It was the most disappointing vehicle I have ever owned, including my 1976 FIAT. I only kept it 5 months and 6,000 miles and traded it for the GMC. Never been happier, it's a great truck. Hope I can learn something here, promise not to say anything rude or offensive, (I know how these sites operate!), maybe I can offer something worthwhile now and then. Apologies in advance if I make noobie mistakes, but I learn quickly.

Well that's boring!

Welcome, and wear your sense of humor, we're a little... different? over here.

And hurry with the pictures!

+1. I forgot to mention that part.

Thanks for the quick replies, I see there are a lot of folks besides me can't get dates on a Friday night! My sense of humor can get you arrested in at least three states. Pics: I haven't joined the digital community yet, so that's a little difficult for me, but I have some film I can scan in and post when I figure out how to do that on this forum. Nothing special, it's just a regular red truck and likely not to change much. Sometimes I even wash it, but not like every year or anything obsessive like that.
