sick of it all

well, i decided this weekend that the burban's not worth all the bullshit i've put up with. I'm getting it fixed so it's safe to drive (new bags, new shocks and mounts, fix all the stuff on the frame), try to clean it up, and i'm selling the burban and my s10 and buying something stock in good shape and bagging it. I bought the burb for 2 reasons:

1. The s10 will always be a 2 seater, and since i have a 2 1/2 yr old, i wanted something cool the whole family can cruise in. This won't work, because i put my daughter's car seat in the burb, and the door handle is right where she can grab it. Not usually a big deal, but there's no lock due to shaved door, and the kicker is it's a suicide door. Don't really want her yanking that while driving down the road.

2. I'm 31 and work out of town during the week, i wanted something i did'nt have to work on all the time. I can only work on stuff on the weekends after everyone goes to bed (usually can start at 11pm or so, the wife's philosophy is since i'm gone all week, when i'm home, i need to be spending time with the fam, not working on a neverending truck project, and i'm too old to pull the all-nighters like i used to). My s10's been bagged for 4 years, i've got to drive it 3 months out of that. I bought the burban in August, i've driven it 3 times (counting the hellride bringing it 1400 miles from Utah to Arkansas). I'm tired of having cool shit that i have to work on all the time. I'm just going to buy a mid to late 90's suburban and get it bagged. Just drive it like that for a while, then if i want to do the rollpan/shaved shit/etc., i can do it when i want, and it does'nt need to be down all the time.

Sorry for the rant, but i wanted yall to be the first to know (well, 3rd or so, but ya know). thanks to everyone here for the help, this is always the first place i come when i need a question about a vehicle answered. I don't care about all the hating, it's not a tenth of the shitstorm i got flung on me when i tried to post anything on s10forum. SSM is the only website i visit everyday no matter what. It's crazy to make such good friends with people you've never seen in person (and probably never will see). So special thanks to potter, fatass s10, gavin, seth, and the countless others who've gone out of their way to help me out (and make fun of me) when i have a retarted ass question.

:THUMBUP:

You should build a crew cab truck if you need something with more seat room. Such as a brand new Tundra. I really want to build one of those.

nah, i gotta have the bump too. That's one thing i'm completely comfortable doing myself, since i've been installing all my own stereo equipment since i was 15. If i could get anything i wanted, i've been drooling at the thought of a mid 60's lincoln continential convertible with the suicide back doors, blacked out on 22's. But i think i'll have better luck with a newer burban. Frank's looking sick as hell, by the way.

How much for the burb?

I feel ya man. I bought my truck already bagged and everything and it hasnt been very enjoyable. I wanna try and do some things to make it more sell-able and get a bone stock truck with nothing wrong with it then go from there. That way I know everything will be fine.

i hear ya bro its hard to have the family & two rides down and one ride for everything. ive got three rides down trying to sell one and waiting on my burb to get some shit done im on my shops waiting list. so i definatly feel your pain. hell i wish you were closer id try and make you a reasonable offer and take the burb off your hands.. i definatly feel your pain though bro ive got my old lady a 15month old and another on the way..

oh i know this is off topic but how good can you see with the chopper mirrors on the burb

Buddy of mine got a new Tundra..should be out for Sema Bagged and Bodied...its going to look SICK...

whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa, ive never talked to you a day in my life, you just have an obsession with me and wont leave me alone! j/k ive barely been any help but i guess ill say your welcome! good luck with the sales. what youve said is the exact reason i bought my mazda so i can do all the work myself and learn from it as i go. well there will be some big time supervising from my sensei. he's a buddy of mine but i call him sensei cuz he's showing me the ropes and answers all my dumbass ?s. good luck again there sasquatch!

It's hard w/ kids, I've got two now but I'm still determined to finish my s10...I've got an old car to build next for the family to cruise in.
