Default Random Event: My old Blazer parks in front of my current one!

So I'm at the grocery store this morning and when I come out, what do I find? My old 92 Blazer parked opposite my current one.

I sold the 92 in 2009 when it had about 150k miles. I had seen it a couple times in the last year or so but to find it parked in front of my truck is pretty remarkable, even in a town of 28,000.

When I got the 99 it came with white-wall tires which I threw in with the truck to close the deal with the person to whom I sold the old one. I'm pretty sure these could be the same tires. They can't be very safe anymore being that old. Some of the grey paint has been touched up and the rear spoiler has been removed but that is my old truck.

Unfortunately it has some rust behind the rear wheel wells but looking inside, the interior looked pretty good. However, I can tell it has been treated rough. It even still had the original spare tire cover.

I couldn't see how many miles are on it now; it would have been interesting to see.

Something tells me whoever owns it now is not the person to whom I sold it. That guy seemed pretty knowledgeable about maintenance and such.







Picture I used in my Craigslist ad

That's gnarly!

I "see" my old, two-tone black & gray '94 around here and there...in my dreams.

Only vehicle I've ever put over 250,000 miles on and still ran like new.
