You have 4 blazers???

*pondering the used car lot in m00n's front yard*

lol

 

HAHAHA...no, no, I have 4 tattoos...I WISH I had 4 Blazers...one for offroading, one for DD, one for lookin' sweet and one for uh, I don't know, ****s n' giggles?

Hanr3 has 3 of them though...you should find out where his front yard is...

 

Oh woops... Kinda missed that last bit of knight's post... My bad.

Hanr3 uses his though... Just doesn't have them sitting around decaying into the ground as weeds/trees grow up through them! LOL I've seen too many of the Blue Collar TV 'Redneck Yard of the Week"! Those are too funny!

 

Ya, my dad bought a Duster when I was a kid that he had planned to fix up...it sat on the front lawn for a couple years...even as a kid, I felt embarassed! AND he ended up selling it without even trying to fix it.

 

*Sigh* I live in rural NC, "Redneck Yard of the Month" is a daily reality for me.

I gotta get outta here, lol

 

I live in half a house at the moment and the kid next door has a summer rat and a winter rat. I say this because they both are sh!tty *** cars. Anyway, when he switched over to his summer car, they were just going to leave the winter car parked out near the front of the house... I actually had to take a drive it back behind the house where it could sit up on an old concrete platform in the back. That way it wouldn't sink in to the ground and become a permanent fixture. Dumb kids. He should have done the same thing with his summer car over the winter... Then I wouldn't have had to pull the damn thing out of the 8" deep indentations it was in after all of the thaw/freeze cycles of the spring.

 

I had a Astro van with 286,000 miles on it before I totaled it. Engine ran just as strong as the day I bought it, with 60,000 miles on it. Other then some accessories, I never did a thing to the engine. Well besides oil changes. That little 4.3L impressed me so much I bought my '00 S10-Blazer with 27,000 miles on it. 3 years later it has 102,000 miles, only oil changes, and 1 tune up to date.

I liked the S10-Blazer so much I bought 3 more. The '91 became a parts truck and I traded it off for a decent 4.3L engine from a fullsize truck with 80,000 miles on it. I traded it off after we took some stuff off of it. Bumpers front and back, gas tank, sun roof, all the locks, rear view mirror, aftermarket stereo and speakers, wheels, and a few other odds and ends. I got my $300 bucks out of it.
I used most of the stuff on the '87 S10-Blazer which I bought as my sons DD. It has 190,000 miles and a rebuilt engine was dropped in 30,000 miles ago. Tranny needed rebuilt so I got it cheap. We rebuilt the tranny last summer and he drives it every day. Plus we take it wheeling when we can.
About the same time I bought the other two trucks ('87 & '91) a guy at work had his engine die (threw a main bearing) with 196,000 miles on a '93 S10-Blazer 4x4x4. Everything else works and it was his DD. So I gave him $50 for it. I have an engine to drop into it sitting in the garage. Just a matter of time to do the swap. Once that is done, the '93 will become my sons DD and the '87 will become our trail toy. Right now I am back down to 3 S10-Blazers, only one of them is sitting in the yard and it ain't the '93. That one is sitting in the garage with the engine half out. I need a bigger driveway. [8D]

I'd say, if you take care of it. The 4.3L engine will last a really long time. 300,000 miles? Sure.
