Phew... I was about )( that close... to buying a Chevy... truck...
... it sold though. Very crisp, very clean looking retiree owned Chevrolet Avalanche, lowish miles, but not too low miles if you know what I mean, where the rust film gets just thick enough to act like a handful of sand in all the moving parts if it only goes to church twice a month. So ran often enough and far enough to keep it just right. Was going for very little money, the same money as the inevitably shagged out rusted examples of the same year, couple of G notes basically. It wasn't widely advertised, so I was hoping it was gonna hang around until I ran through everything in my head a thousand times and either didn't want it, or very definitely did. I was thinking weekend warrior stuff, larger size travel trailer all loaded up with off grid capability. I wasn't under the delusion it was gonna be a reliable ride, but Chevy trucks can usually be fixed indefinitely, and being in deep Chevy territory even the knuckle dragginest shop knows what to do.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
