More then one vehicle I've owned has gone up that driveway and not come back. This is not going to be one of those stories!! And yes we are talking fully functional! I'll even be able to turn around in the Mall parking lot without breaking an axle :D . 5 years isn't bad considering my known history!
Of course without everyones help(Jose in peticular) i'd still looking 5 more years down the road.

Good news: we made it past that meltdown

Yeah, ya gotta thaw a turkey starting yesterday or today if you want it done by Thanksgiving; even a Jive Turkey.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.
