Hey guys. I am so stoked. Just landed a great job in the Teton Valley area of Idaho. So my wife and I decided to get something nice for a little present to ourselves.

The paperwork is getting delayed (funding reasons) until the 30th of this month. Its an 08 Chevrolet ('sif not GMC) CC/DA short box. The color is a dark cherry red. Its so awesome!! I drove it for a couple hours to get a feel for it and check out all the buttons and stuff.

Although, I hate that I have to have that stupid center console. Now we cant seat six in the truck. The good side of the console is that you could put a house inside it its so huge. Also, the only way to get heated seats is with leather only??:confused::confuzeld Oh well, I'll have to live with it :)

Vehicle mechanic. They say theres snow about half the year. I still get to keep the 05 for the play/work truck, and the wife gets the 08. Also will be outfitting the trucks with winch bumpers. They will look awesome!

I had my dealer add the heated seats to my LT2. Also added the tow mirrors. Good luck and congrats!

Congrats! I once had a guy up there tell me there are 2 seasons. Winter, and 3 months of bad skiing. Sounds like lots of snow for sure ...
