DW awoke to find DH cleaning it out, didn't question a thing & knew what was going to happen today. We've had numerous conversations regarding trading in the dually, but have not had the time to pursue it.
Well, DH decided today was the day. In our budgeting he discovered the truck was costing over $400.00 a month for fuel. He decided enough was enough. Last weekend for President's day, there were car sales all over the valley and we participated in attending. NEVER again! It was the most pathetic display of "in your face" selling that we just gave up.
However, the last dealership we stopped at, they seemed really reluctant to be in your face to make a sale & that is the place we went back to today.
Everyone will be glad to know that the "REDNECK" dually is no longer ours. We purchased a Pontiac G6. It's a sporty two door with a hard top that retracts into the trunk making it a convertible. We bought the car and waved good bye to a truck that served it's purpose of transporting us to AZ and changing our lives forever.
"Good Bye little Dually. We will certainly miss you"
It was a pleasure working with the dealership and our sales person who moved here from Romania. We drove our new ride home and smiled all the way. Oh and yes the top was down. Heeeeeeee!
Here is a photo of the Dually in our garage. It pretty much controlled all the space available.
Here is a photo of the G6. We just love it!
Here is a photo of the G6 in our garage tonight. It has allowed us much more room than before. We think we can actually re-arrange the garage to allow both of our vehicles to have a resting place.
Before sending the G6 to bed tonight, our friend Tony invited us to a place called Greasewood Flat. It's a great place that's in the middle of the desert that has a country vibe to it. Multiple fire pits are burning, giving it that camping smell & live country music is being played adding to the atmosphere. The locals actually ride horses to this place and tie them to hitching posts.
It truly was a great place to visit.
Here are some photos showing Greasewood Flat. We look forward to the next time we are there. Hopefully it will be with our friends and family.
If you look closely, the age of the crowd is much older than us. That's what made this place so interesting. It was retired people out drinking beer and wine and having a GREAT time. We envied them because it's a place to truly relax and you could tell everyone enjoyed it. Including us!!!

Jealous...I am very, very jealous of your new car. It is yours isn't it? Or is it the neighbors? Hmmmmm
YES, it IS our car. We just love it. The warmth of the afternoon sun, the wind in our hair. Life is great!
