Well, you guys sure are lucky. I couldn't get to mine any other way. Maybe a swivel socket would have helped, but my u joint one didn't work.

 

I had to disable mine as well. but I enjoy working on my vehicle, with the little amount I get to do it I have fun.. so I didn't mind that

 

I'm in a similiar position as you. I am going to be commuting to college next year, and I am kind of worried about making enough money to pay for gas. However, In my heart I know there's no way Im trading it in- well theres no way I'll trade it in for anything with much better gas mileage!

 

What route did you go? Personally I think I chose the better option. I have all month to save for my payment. It takes like $40 to fill up and that lasts me a good while. I do miss the blazer at times though. Like I will in the winter.
