OK, so I didn't set out to buy a new vehicle, but there it was sitting on the lot a full 3 weeks after I first saw it there while I was getting my Blazer aligned. Tina, Kat and I were at Quick Lane to get Kat's car an oil change and Tina's car a tuneup. Kat took it for a test drive, I took it for a test drive, Kat pointed out it would cost me less to buy it than it was costing in repairs to keep the Blazer functional. So I now have a 2008 GMC Canyon SL 2.9L pickup with fog lights, a 5 speed trans and 2 wheel drive that had 2242 miles on it the day I bought it and a 36,000 factory bumper to bumper warranty. It's the newest vehicle I've ever bought that has more than 2 wheels. Since this picture was taken I've gotten a Line-X spray in bedliner, window visors, a trailer hitch and the trailer lights T-connector. I've still figuring out the best way to set it up for carrying a kayak or 10 ft. tent poles. I am one happy trucker.It is also now officially summer - the fireflies rose for the first time this year at my friend Jane's house. As far as I'm concerned, when the tree toads start singing its spring and when the fireflies start rising its summer. This silly sun-position-in-the-sky thing is no way to define the seasons ! Its what on the ground where you are that matters, not some date on a calendar when the sun's postulated line of orbit crosses an imaginary line on the earth. Talk about smoke and mirrors !

I thought the truck was a 2008....like brand spanking new!
It is an amazing truck. Takes real work to stall it out and no roll back on a hill!
It is a 2008, Typos happen.
