I waffled on them, they dropped the lease with tax to $350. There's some serious cash to get down this far, which doesn't happen for ZR2's, and won't for a while.

I'm doing it. Fuck it.

They're actually dealer installed, but standard on every ZR2.

I don't like the bed mounted spare, takes up the entire bed. But I do have a number of parts sitting around that I can put on it. I'm even going to prototype some stuff I've been trying to get engineering to buy off on and won't.

I didn't want to bust your chops on the 2006 Beemer, but it looks like the best case unfolded. :fuckyeah: :jelly: :like:

We've got a bunch of engineering parts just chilling in the basement of the building. I might be able to liberate a few...

I still love the Beemah, and it was a good thing to consider, but this :dill: isn't something I want to pass on. A bit of a #YOLO move, but it still is a reasonable amount to pay, IMO.

I got some quotes when the truck first came out, and none were under $450. FWIW, I did get a quote on a 2018 from another :dillerman: earlier this week and it was $399.

Shockingly, insurance is $40 LESS per month for the ZR2 vs the Silverado. I don't get it, but whatever. That helps close the payment gap a bit too.

I am pleased.
