New addition to the family

Category Four-wheeled toys

After my little incident I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a tow vehicle. Nothing new, but to the contrary I purchased the '89 GMC Suburban SLE seen above. Nope, no four-wheel drive. Who needs it? I ain't gonna be doin' no towin' in the snow. Besides, with that huge 454 big block motor providing the motive force, who in their right mind would go joy riding in a truck that gets about 9 mpg? I'd first seen it w/ the For Sale sign about 1/2mi from my house earlier this summer and it turns out the seller had been trying to unload it for almost a year. It's got very low mileage, appears to be mechanically sound, and only appears to have some power window/lock issues that stick out. For what I paid (not a lot), it was a very good deal.

Now all I have to do is find a trailer and my days of dependence are over....

And just maybe I'll be able to take the race car to the body shop and start the repairs on my schedule.
