1996 Chevy K1500. Had 225k miles on it, paid $1800 for it. Put $700 into front end work. Sold Feb 2010 for $3000. Amazing truck, shouldn't have sold it, but my wife hated every second of it.
why did my wife hate it?

Because I was too busy driving our other car. 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. Bought it new in November 2008, drove it off the showroom floor. Amazing vehicle. Without a doubt the best handing car I've driven (maybe I'm sheltered...). Fast, got me in some trouble though. 3 speeding tickets in 18 months. Got to be too much to afford. Traded in on 10/2/10.

Traded the G8 in on this. 2011 Malibu 1LT. With payment, insurance and gas, we dropped our monthly vehicle obligation from the G8 over $275.
Sold the K1500, bought this

2004 Olds Bravada. Another vehicle I absolutely loved, but when finances dictated we sell the G8, this went too.
Bravada was sold to a good friend that still has it today, and cares for it just as meticulously.
1999 GMC Yukon. Amazing machine in the snow. Got me through once of the worst winters in West Michigan history (Jan-Mar 2011). Great dog hauler for my labs too.
This was another vehicle that fell out of favor with my wife. She works 2 miles from home, I work 20 miles from home, meaning she was driving it more than I was, because I was commuting in the Malibu.
So Currently...
