Most of them here start to rust, and I really want a Tahoe or Yukon. So I listed it just for fun. the first guy to look at it bought it for asking price and said how in the world do you keep it like new ??? I sold it for 2000 less then I bought it 4 1/2 years ago, 171,000 !!!!!
I picked up a 02 Monte SS and have another project car for the winter, I will fix it up and sell it next fall and hopefully get a SUV !!!

If mine was working a little better it would be going on a road trip or two. It's not there yet, maybe another couple weeks. By that time it'll be too cold to take it out. I am almost afraid to think what might happen to it if I have it parked here in the building at work all winter. If the last project didn't make it unfamiliar enough, I can only imagine what 4 more months will do to it.

It's amazing what the 99-06 trucks go for these days. I was going to get another one after selling my 05 but there was no way I was going to pay 15-18k for a clean one, when not much more got me a much newer truck. Good luck with the MC and congrats in advance for the SUV next fall
