    Preparing for pickup (checklist)

    I'm sorting out in my mind what I want to check real fast when I show up to pick up my truck. I think this is my list so far (truck is 998 '88) Basic ideal is to come with some extra cash and see what I can grab (not sure this is something that can be done but I thought I'd be ready just in...
