Newest Member of Our Family

Saturday we welcomed the newest member of our family and said goodbye to one of our fondest members. Casey and I woke up with the intentions of working out and going grocery shopping . . . and that's about it. Thinking that Casey's truck would be eligible for Cash for Clunkers we headed in to the near by Nissan dealership to take a look and nothing more. Turns out truck for truck trades don't work. Thinking we would then leave, the salesman of the century talked us into test driving a "super black" Nissan Frontier. It's a beauty. We drove around for a few minutes. The truck drives nicely, has 4 wheel drive, power locks, power window, cruise control. We brought it back and the salesman offered us a deal but of course it was good for Saturday only. We told him we'd go do our shopping, think about and possibly return, but of course he offered to let us take the truck with us. A few hours later, a few phone calls later, we returned with the truck and somehow purchased the truck. Part of the sell point was they offered us $2000 trade in for Casey's truck. Poor Casey spent a moment with his old white truck saying good bye. She will be missed! We're hoping to get as many miles and memories out of this truck as out of the last. Side note: the new truck has built in car seat adapters.
A valid point raised by both fathers is who's going to drive the truck?
