Okay, it's not so much new as it is newly customized. Jason has been wanting to put ape hangers on his Harley ever since he bought it last year. And now, finally, they are on and it looks awesome!

While we said "hello" to new ape-hangers, we also had to say "good-bye" to Jason's truck. :'(
One morning on the way to work back in June, a woman crossed the yellow line and hit Jason's truck. He was on the bridge on Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua and had nowhere to go, other than smash into the guardrail. Her little car did it's fair share of damage to the truck and the insurance company totalled it. No one was hurt in the accident, but Jason was very upset about losing his "baby". This was the newest truck he had ever owned. We bought it on our way back from our honeymoon (that was a long 5 hours at the dealership, lol). We brought Duke home in that truck. There was a lot of sentimental value and attachment to this truck.
We were able to buy it back from the insurance company and a few small parts made it drivable again. Not pretty, still banged up. But drivable. He drove it up until a few weeks ago when he traded it in and brought home this:
It's a 2011 GMC Sierra crew cab pickup. Black, of course! We could've kept the other truck and drove that around for a while but we never would've taken Jax anywhere in it. I'm racking up the miles on my car driving back and forth to work every day so we needed a vehicle that could be used as a "family car" around town. This works out great. The crew cab is nice and roomy for our back-seat passenger and much easier to get in and out of. Also the back seat is a split bench so we can lift up the one half of the seat and put his wheelchair in there. Much easier to transport it that way than in my car. It barely fits in my trunk and has to be completely taken apart.
So, everything happens for a reason I guess. We were sad to see the other truck go (as well as the no payments), but this one fits our family so much better!
