Well I finally nailed down a deal and bought the 2005 Yamaha Bruin 350 4X4 Ultramatic. And am I glad I didn't wait any more.

I went ahead and got the camo cause, well, I didn't have too many options. The showroom was pretty full and most of the folks were looking to buy Bruins right then and there. The dealer had two colored ones and a camo. Two guys there talking had bought the colored ones and the third guy was thinking of the camo. They said the salesman said no more in for awhile.....so I grabbed the sales guy I talked with the day before and told him, "I'll take the camo one at the price we came up with yesterday." Done deal.

I sent two others guys to another dealer I had almost done a deal with. Even though I didn't do a deal with him, he called me later and said, "Thanks! I sold two quads. Come on in and I'll give ya something for the referrals." So I'm gonna head over there today. Maybe pick up a skull cap helmet or something.

I even got the snowplow set-up with it for an additional $69. I think there is going to be a retirement party for the old snowblower in the very near future. 87 octane for everyone!
