just sold my baby

[68c10owner]

Just watched it drive away. It was one of those vehicles where half way though I almost called it off but I need the money. I`m not working and we are moving next weekend so it came at a good time but I`m still choked up a little thinking about it. I got 4 more weeks of school and when I start working and making some money I`m getting another one. Thanks for all the input and advice. I will be driving a 92 burban around for a while but it won`t be the same.

Sorry about that, a lot of people are doing this. I hope things work out.

Nothing like watching something you built be driven or trailered away

I cried like a baby when I sold my '04 Silverado. It was bagged on 22" Intro's


Stay in school and make that money you will have one in no time

I didn`t build mine but it was well taken care of and very clean and I loved it. It even happened to be my favorite colors, silver on grey. I have 4 more weeks of school and I should have some pre hire offers pretty soon so I could be working in my new industry within a couple months.

I tried that once (Just sold my baby)
but we sold my other truck instead

some times you do what you have to
gives you more time to plan out the next one
when the money is right

Sorry to hear it. If you don't mind listening to an olde phart a moment, I'll tell you there will be plenty more exciting projects coming, and once the sting of loss is gone, that one will be parked in memory forever as a good 'un you didn't get a chance to finish but remember fondly.

We all remember some of those.

So get this, the guy who bought my blazer calls after a week and says the frame is cracked at the steering box and had been cracked for a long time. I inspected it when I bought it and a couple times after and even had a guy interested in it bring his mechanic friend and they went through it pretty good and didn`t find anything wrong with it. He also says it`s smoking way more than just at start up which is what I told him it was doing for me. He called and asked if I would buy it back from him but I said the money was gone. We met up the next day so I could smog it for him and I looked at it and it was a fresh crack. I could see the shiny metel in the crack. He had also put over 900 miles on it in 9 days.

So tonight I`m on craigslist looking at blazers and I come across another 90. I open it up to find my old blazer twisted up on a hill/berm. That pretty much explains to me how the frame was damamged because I never had the chance to take it off road. I can`t believe this guy tried to pull this crap. The guy seemed a little shady but he had cash but next time I`ll be a little more carefull about selling a vehicle like this.

Sorry about that, some people just don't care about things or anyone.
