Woah! Good thing you were alright. You can replace a Blazer not a person. Looks like you tore up that Caddy, too.

Do you have the Brazilian tail lights? Nice. I know it's off topic but were you able to wire the turn signals to the right spot?

Correct, had to get extra set of reverse turn light sockets and grind one of the pins on them to fit the taillights, and taped the front turn signal wires and ran wires all the way to the back, then taped the 3rd break for the stop.

they will let you keep it but they will deduct somewhere around 500 bucks or more from the money youll be getting

wow glad you are ok, looks like it flipped pretty slowly to not damage the side more then it did

it kind of depends on the way you hit the other car, and how big the other car is. here is a pic of the crash we were in at 55 mph and we t-boned a minivan that ran a redlight

well as far as insurance goes. some companies will let you buy it back and deduct some kind of value out of what they give back to you. and on the what they let you keep. you have to look at the estimate they write out. personal items are yours to keep. but if they estimate it with a cd player hope your stock one has a cd player. and so on.

i just totaled my truck a few weeks back thats where i learned all that. (how i got my lil blazer)

on another note glad you are ok. you sore at all man lol

It's good everyones alright! Sorry to see your Blazer like that, It looked like a nice one
Now is the perfect time to keep it and turn it in to an off road machine

buy it back, if it still runs and drives just hack off the front end and make a offroad truck out of it. i wrecked my 90 fullsize, they gave me 2000 for it ( i only paid 300 for it) put a junkyard front end on it and still driving it. i was able to buy it back for something stupid, forgot the exact number but it was like $220. i could have scrapped it and made twice that

That would be nice, I got time and the space for it, kinda want to drive it around like that to get the WTF looks.
