Well, after I hurt my back and sold my business I kind of disappeared. I ended up going back to finish my undergraduate degree, which really strapped me for cash. I ended up selling my beautiful Sierra and buying a Suburban with half the cash and used the rest for tuition. It's a really nice Burb, 454, 4x4, 2500. Really nice. I fixed it up just the way I wanted it and really started liking it. Then I realized I was short on my last semester of tuition before graduation this May. So, I put the Burb up for sale. :(

Anyway, I had a guy email me and offer me a trade of $2000 and his 1990 K5 for my Burb. He has three kids and was having trouble getting them to daycare so he needed more seats.

I love my Burb and really hate to sell it, but I'll be getting the K5 I've wanted for a loooooong time and the money to pay for my tuition. I'm just glad my Burb will go to someone who can use it and will take care of it.

Anyway, hopefully we'll be trading this week. I'll post pics when I get it.

So after, what, 10+ years I'll finally get that K5 I wanted when I joined here? :haha:
 
Well, you got to do what you got to do sometimes. Hope it all works out in the end and your happy with it. And welcome back by the way.
 
Just talked to the guy, we're going to meet over at my bank on Thursday to take care of business.

I just need to get a cage for the area over the rear seats, I'd love to drop the top and let my two boys have fun back there.
 
Welcome back man, it's really been a long time!! :eek1:
 
My wife asked me this morning if I was happy that I finally fit in here. :haha:
 
Here is my Burb:

I'll post pics this weekend of the K5 after I get it home and clean it up.
 
They are the "cool white" ones and the gauge cluster is from an Escalade.
 
Just got off the phone with the guy, we are meeting in the morning to get the titles swapped over. :)
