so after 10 months and 18 days i go to pick up my truck tomorrow. But it wasn't without a final bit of drama. So the price we agreed on was apparently hinging on whether i could get my cousin's employee discount. I was completely ignorant of that . and wouldn't have agreed to it if i was sufficiently informed of the fact. which i was not. I wasn't going to ask my cousin because a) I hate asking people for things. b) I'm not hugely close to my cousin. in fact I really only see him at Christmas,Easter and Thanksgiving ( which is appropriately celebrated in October on a Monday and not 4 weeks before Christmas and on a Thursday...who does that??) and the odd funeral. and c) at the time of ordering it was January and i thought it was wwwwwaaaaayyyyy too early to ask a person to give up their once a year discount. like who knows what may come up in the year? anywho, to make a long story a bit shorter, i got a call from the dealer guy and they found some one 's employee number to use and things are back on and i received the total just a few minutes ago and it is less than i thought. so everything is coolio now. just thought i'd share . cuz y'know knowledge is power. I pass the conch shell and the dutchie on the left hand side.
