It finally happened. The Yeti Wagon is officially sold.
Good news it is staying in the club as Jeremy's friend and future ONSC member drove it home today.
Bad news is i'm going to be crying into my pillow for a few days
Ole girl new what was going on and threw a fit this week and refused to start and idle worth a damn one day (FPD screw had backed out a bit) and then chucked the alternator in the last few which I had to rush and replace today)
So today we had a long talk and had a beer from the built in beer opener that ended in a hug
Then we spiritually shared a coke with this guy
Since it was Logan's talks via mud years ago that convinced me to buy the cruiser in the first place it was only fitting.
Never thought i'd sell it after 9 years of ownership. Andrea and I have loved the hell out of it and it has never let us down or stranded anywhere we've taken it. From the beaches, mountains and desert trip of LA to all the trips we enjoyed out here with ONSC.
Never ever thought i'd sell this truck but life gets in the way. $$$ is needed to finish doing housing projects so we can put it on the market and sell. The economy hit us hard and getting laid off really wiped out all our savings that we are still trying to recover from and we don't have any $$$ to put into her and it isn't fair her just sitting there to be used to drive to the local meetings once in a while. I haven't really wheeled her in 2 years when I went up daniel the last time. There is also the strong possibility that we will be moving to the PNW later in the year. There is a strong possibility that a appraisal trainee or assistant job will open up at one of the firms i've been talking to out there, something i've not been able find in the Charlotte area in 2 years of searching. Its a great opportunity for us to blank the slate and start again with much higher future earning potential opportunities. Andrea has also found a few jobs out there that she wants to start over in child care again as a consultant. She can't take the buerocracy of her current job any more. Anywho that's for another thread down the line. But with all that moving and changes going on I needed to also get something that can tow a trailer with our core stuff across the country at a later date. I found something for less than 1/6th what I sold the cruiser for and it will serve as our camping rig for awhile also.
I'm not done with land cruisers at all just taking a step back for a bit. If we do end up in seattle there will be great opportunities of a diesel cruiser making it our way via canada.
i'll still be very much involved in ONSC (as much as I can ) while i'm still here and then remotely like others that have left if I do move.
Some old pics from the sale add when I found it
Andrea saying bye. (I think she loved the truck more than I did)
Handing the keys off to the new owner
