In Jan of 2021, I purchased a 2019 ZR2 with 20k miles on it. I had always wanted a ZR2, and my full size was coming up on 290k miles. And was showing her age. So this was to be my daily driver and adventure rig, when I did not need the full size.
They did not have many used ones, and I had a google alert set up for any used ones in 300 miles. My mum had an eye appointment and was going to need a driver. I had just gotten back form contract and had nothing but time. When I was waiting, I got an alert one just popped up. In the same city I was in.
Went to check it out, took it for a test drive. And drove it home. I had not planned on getting a truck, that day. The dealer had me write them a check… for the full amount…As the bank was closed… and said to bring the actual check from the bank the next day…So I did.
The truck was from Canada, and had a letter in the glove box from the previous owner. Apparently the trucks name was Zelda. So it stuck.
I had to leave to Reno a few days after, in the middle of winter storms. So immediately started drilling holes. Added lights. In the snow, prior to leaving. (Eventually I will do KC LED slimlites like my full size, with a matching bumper). My work means I travel in the worst weather, and usually in disaster relief, to places where I won’t have support.
Dog approved.

Zelda, and Sarah. The 2004, I bought with around 20k on it, in 2008. Right after I graduated High school, and started Fire/Medical work. She has 288k on her now.
