Things Are Coming Along – Flashback Blog

The following is another blog posting I wrote before I started blogging here on WordPress.  Enjoy, as I have definitely done the same reading old writings of mine!

100,000 Miles

I have had my truck since March of last year (2011). This truck is a 1991 Chevy S10 pick-up. I borrowed some money from my dad and bought it from a private owner I found in the Peddler’s Post, which is a weekly issue of a big booklet of things people are trying to sell. I bought it for $2000. The only thing that needed to be replaced was a couple of exhaust parts that cost around $200. The interior was in pretty good shape. I can clearly see at this point, that this price was a steal. I cleaned the interior and bought some seat covers that look pretty sweet if you ask me! The truck came with a high-rise cap, but I really did not care much for the cap. I removed it and gave it away. When I bought the truck it had about 88,000 miles on it. This is crazy low mileage for a ’91! The couple I bought it from did not need the use for it any longer. They were the second owners of the vehicle. They stated that the first owner was an older gentleman who rarely left home.
