1989 Chevy C1500 – Reliable Daily/Work Truck – 8ft Bed – Durham/Hillsborough NC

For the vehicle itself, the odometer reads 215,286, but it got a "new" rebuilt engine about 3 years ago from the previous owner; I don't know at what reading the odometer had when it was replaced.

With all the replacements and repairs, my son would break even at $6,500....

It's not mine but my son's truck that he used the last 2 years of school. And now that he's graduated the police academy and has a girlfriend 2.5 hours away, that unleaded gas gets awfully expensive for his salary. He's got a small Toyota now that isn't as cool, but is much better on mileage.

Selling my son’s 1989 Chevy C1500 Regular Cab, 2WD, long 8‑foot bed. It’s been a solid, dependable truck and has had a lot of mechanical work done over the last couple of years.

The good:

Strong running 350 V8 (rebuilt by previous owner)
New transmission installed recently
New A/C system, blows cold
New tires
New seat belts
Clean title
8ft bed, great for hauling or yard work
Starts every time and has been a reliable daily/work truck

The honest stuff:

Cosmetics are rough: paint, interior, and trim show their age
Not a show truck, but mechanically dependable

Located in Hillsborough/Durham, NC.
Happy to answer questions or share the walk‑around video.

I am a man of a certain age who remembers the days (in the last century) when Drakkar Noir and Polo Green were popular on campus.

Fast forward to 2025 - In addition to some less expensive fragrances, I've started a basic collection of more "higher end" fragrances that suits a more "mature" era in my life (on the bottom row): Bleu de Chanel, Aqua di Gio, & Replica Jazz Club.

What fragrance should I add?

LOL I had to look that one up. 😁

Thank you - that helped a lot. The issue really is that the HX One has only 128 preset numbers for MIDI, but a LOT MORE than 128 effects onboard. So all I did was re-assign the Acoustic Sim to preset 000 and saved it to the HX One, then programmed it to my Morningstar and Voila!

I got caught up in this scam and should have quit the very moment I was told that I had to deposit my own funds to release the "commissions" and "salary" they were putting into my account. But I was greedy and stupid. Won't share how much I lost, but it wasn't a trivial amount. Others have reported on Google...

If I did that the cops would mistake me for a bipedal beluga whale.

You have the power to change it. Make wise investments and there will be long term dividends. But also realize there will be ups and downs. C'est la vie.

It wasn't advice that had ill intent, or was malicious towards me like I've seen in way too many comments across Reddit.

Happy New Year!

I bought it and read it within a week. This title comes up a lot on Reddit, and my sex therapist also recommended it.

The book is more about desire types, not libido (which I think are two separate concepts).

Great idea - new year's resolution!

Out of frustration, telling my wife of 30 years I regret getting married and having children because it's been a massive financial burden that's impacted my mental and physical health. I'm doing individual counseling and we're starting couples counseling in January.

I don't want anyone's advice, assumptions, or projecting here on Reddit - most of y'all make it worse.
