Mike's New-New truck

As you might recall, the cause of our fire was something in our new truck.  We hope to know what exactly it was in the next few weeks. 

The old-new truck was a 2010 Ford F-150 in a gorgeous metallic candy apple red.  We didn't share our new purchase with the world because it just didn't feel right during a time when so many people are struggling. 

We bought the truck two days before the hailstorm hit our camper last summer and we have only one picture of it!

Mike wanted this truck for a long  time.  He was really enjoying it and we were all glad that we had decided to buy it.

Who would have ever thought that a brand new truck would start your garage on fire? 

After the fire, Mike knew he wanted another truck but he wasn't sure if he wanted another Ford. Especially when the day after our fire Ford recalled 2011 F-150's for...wait for it....fires. 

After looking around he knew that he it had to be another Ford.  He just didn't like the other trucks as much.  So, we bought a brand new 2011 F-150.  There are a few changes on this one from the 2010 that Mike really likes - and he loves having Sync and Sirous Satellite Radio built right in!

So far, Mike actually likes the new-new truck better than the old-new truck.  They made some improvements with the 2011 that weren't on the 2010 and he is very pleased with it!
