    It pains me to do it. I love my Silverado. I've only had her a couple years, but they grow on ya, ya know? When I bought her, I didn't want a truck, just needed 4x4. I actually traded my P71 for it.

    Well, my dad decided to sell his Silverado, which he bought when I was 9 and well, I'm very sentimental about it. That's my dad's pride and joy: mint condition and only 34,000 miles. I can't stand to see the truck I more or less grew up with go to somebody else, so I'm stuck selling mine off.

    I've pampered and babied this truck and haven't put all that many miles on her. She had 138,000 when she came to me and has 146,000 now.

    If you know anybody in the market for a good truck, let me know!

    I figured that would wake you up! I hate to see any vehicle end up being demo derbyed or used as a stock car. Well, maybe a Kia or Chevy Volt!:yahoo:

    I'm in the same boat as you. I've had wayyyy too many demo-derby offers on numerous vehicles I've owned. I don't even give them the time of day if they say those words to me, I just hang up.

    That's Mom and Dad's house, they already aren't happy with me keeping the Caprice wagon there! Lol!

    The trucks' gonna set me back 10k, so no money for cars for awhile. Too bad, too. I had a deal almost sealed with a guy with a beautiful 77 Eldorado.
