We donated it to an organization that will use it for their needs.

Left here this morning with 290,250 miles on it - and it was running great as I drove it away.

Sad to see it go - that truck was absolutely GREAT...
Had it 18 years and 3 weeks.
Almost like a family member... Wife was crying when we were together afterwards. I have a pic here of the one time the Yukon towed the new (to me) car trailer. This is when I got the trailer and towed it home. That was the only time it towed that thing - but did so just fine. (I got my 3/4 ton truck shortly thereafter).

Stay tuned for more 'car news' soon hopefully with the E9 continuing in its progress... I'll update that info soon.

That’s a lot of miles.

I’m hoping my E46 will make it to 300k and beyond.

With 155k now, I’m halfway there but will take longer than 16 years because I don’t drive her often enough.

Wow, is that the vehicle that was still running on its original brakes?

End of an era.

But it does feel good making such a useful donation!

Original brakes ?!

That can’t be right.

Unless he did a lot of coasting to a stop, lol.

LOL -
No - not the original brakes at the end.

But - the brakes did last for a LONG time....
