It's Mother's Day!
We went to church this morning. Upon returning, I ran back over to a local car lot to look at another truck. I did take Susan over yesterday and we drove the Durango. We also drove a nice Ford F-150 that's over my budget.
From driving the vehicles I've driven, I have nailed down my list of features I require for a truck.
It needs to be four wheel drive. Trucks are light in the back and notoriously bad in the snow. I don't want to fight a truck when it snows so, FWD.
I want an extended cab. The larger the better but it can't be a standard cab. Too small.
I've decided I want an automatic. I drove a really nice Subaru Forrester yesterday. It was really deluxe but a five speed. I didn't have any trouble driving it but since I have the luxury of making a list, no manual transmission.
It seems I'm going to have to push my budget up to $15,000.00 That means I'm going to have to withdraw $20,000 from my 401K account in order to cover the taxes they remove, which is four grand. I think I'll get most of that back next April.
We're leaving shortly to go see Mom and bring her dinner, Kentucky Fried Colonel.
