New truck!

[RaveDigger]

Just bought a 2000 Explorer Sport with a 5 speed to be my daily driver to keep the miles off my 350Z which is starting to accumulate them entirely too fast. I've never owned a truck before so I'm looking forward to doing a bit of offroading, but I can't go too crazy because I need to keep it practical enough to drive from MA to PA where my girlfriend is going to school. The truck is pretty beat on the outside, but she seems solid and only has 88k on her.

Hopefully you guys can all see the pics, they're linked from the my350z forum:

And just in case anyone is interested, here's my Z:

The pictures don't show the scratches swirls and dings all over the car. The roof racks are peeling and there's a spot of rust on the bumper. To be honest though, I was never looking for a spotless truck. To me a truck is something that can get a little beat up and I'd rather it start off a little beat so that I don't feel bad about making some nice paint look like trash. That's not to say that I'm going to abuse it, but I'm not going to park at the end of the parking lot like I do to the Z just to keep it safe.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I need to stay away from this site. I had originally intended to only buy the truck, but now I see all the awesome lifts, grill guards, lightbars, tires, stereos... Sweet baby Jesus I will have no money for food!
