i can sympathize about being attached. my 03 was my first truck. after a while it becomes more than just your vehicle...when you modify it and have it looking so good it begins to have its own personality and you know everything about it, what has been done to it, every little scratch, ding or dent. when i got the 99 r/t, yea i enjoy the shit outa the new power and all, but i still wish my 03 wasnt wrecked cause i would probably drive it more....and i would never trade it in or sell it. i'm really disappointed that the 408 will end up in the "new" truck, but i'll take the 360 in it and do another build to put in the 03 when i get it fixed. i've only got to put about $2000 into it to make it look exactly like it did before the wreck. or i could save my pennies and do it better, but i miss it too much to wait, plus i had always loved intense blue r/t's and now i got one so i'll start modding it too. it sucks to get a replacement vehicle when you dont know what all had been done to it and all. but i'll keep both vehicles now, and build em both to be badass trucks and just have two badass trucks in the future...they are my two favorite colors for these trucks also, so that makes me happy too.
and another thing is its hard to find people who take care of their shit as good as some of us. my 03 was in immaculate condition when it wrecked....i had even done an interior detail the day before and had it looking and smelling brand spankin new inside. the exterior was excellent but had a couple places where people had door dinged me....paint was pristine though. i took care of my shit like it deserved...and it was always getting compliments and looks.
