Pulled a Triple! Sold one-Bought two same day!

Wasn't planning on selling my Blazer but found a SUPER NICE Blazer in Oregon. Put mine up for sale on Monday- sold it on Thursday, but the Oregon Blazer was spoken for. Rather than wait and see if it fell through I started the hunt on Friday. Found a couple trucks I could pick up for less than I sold the Blazer for and put together a plan for Saturday. I delived my Blazer on Saturday morning at 8am and had the guy take me to the house of the Tahoe owner and drop me off. I sat on the curb waiting as the guys parents came out and asked what I was doing. I said I had an appointment to buy this Tahoe at 9:30 but I was an hour early. They woke him up and I made the deal. Super clean 99 Tahoe with leather, air and a working stereo. Haven't had a car with such amenities since I lost my business and got divorced all in the same month in 2009. Filled the tank in the Tahoe, ran it through the car wash and at 2 o'clock headed 170 miles south to San Diego with out even a test drive. The air blew cold and the Tahoe ran like a dream! Bought a Motley Crew CD and cranked up the stereo! Got to San Diego and picked up a rental trailer I reserved a couple hours before. Told them I was hauling a VW bug becasue they wouldn't let me rent it to pick up a truck. Waited for the lady owner of the '77 Black shortbed to get home from work and when she did I walked and handed her the cash, not start or test drive. Signed the paper work and it fired up perfectly. Drove it on the trailer and headed home. The thing I didn't know is that it's like 80 miles up hill the whole way getting out of San Diego. Thought I was going to blow up the Tahoe but she did just fine. Got home at 11:30 and grabbed a meal at Denny's right before they closed at Midnight.

Flipping the SWB since I already found a few trucks I could pick up this week! Another early road trip Saturday! I forgot how addictive these trucks are!
