Officially Truck free

It's done. Dropped the truck off this afternoon. I was more nervous about the situation than I thought I would be. Good times ahead.

Updated: I found it amusing that I almost got taken out by an old guy driving in the Performance Toyota parking lot as I was leaving the dealership. I was going straight out of the parking lot and the guy apparently didn't seem to think much about turning right into me as he was turning left.

The ride home was great until I took a short cut and rode behind the Alamo center. I was fine until I was almost all the way through the 'alley' and got caught riding through a layer of pure ice and went down nicely on my left side. It was one of those slow crashes where you just have to laugh at yourself for putting yourself in a dumb position. Lesson learned on day one of being truck free.

Congrats dude! That's a huge step, and a good one. Hell man, I wish I could get rid of my truck, but it looks like I'll literally have to give it away to do so.

Again, kudos, and watch that ice :). I almost got tripped up today going too fast into an icy corner, but thankfully I was able to recover with some grass/snow :).
