Good bye golden burb
I bought my suburban 15 yrs ago for $100. It truly was a inspirational buy.
That's a different story. Last week I crashed the burb along with my trailer and a few days before I got laid off. Money and jobs will come and go but it's had to find a $100 GOLDEN BURB.

Wow, that's a bummer.... I guess there are a lot of good parts on it still, but no you will probably not find another $100 GoldenBurb...  LockDoc

YIKES! Yes, I hope everyone is ok.
Looks like a lot of good parts on it. I wouldn't just junk it.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Good to hear you are okay. Trailer wrecks can be very scary. Great story with the $100 entry fee to Burban world. With that low of a price it's a shame to have to face parting with it, but I understand that food and shelter thing. I hope things turn around for you.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Glad you ok. Sorry you had to go through that. Do you plan on looking for a new Suburban? I know you said in another post you've already started to put together some parts for it.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Glad to hear your okay.
Also glad to hear you found a replacement project. Just out of curiosity, how did the crash happen? I'm assuming the GB was towing the trailer?
