I just washed my Jimmy and its 29* outside, I was fighting the water from freezing to my truck the whole time, Also Just did the pitmen arm and a tune up and it was snowing a bit outside...

I dont know how crazy that is. But i paid 300 bucks for a not running blazer a fee years back, got it going for a couple hundred, drove it for a couple months, moved back to alberta, sunk about 5 grand into a blazer thats been sitting in my garage ever since... Thats crazy according to my friends

I replaced the flex plate in my '93 Jimmy last December in the freezing cold. That motivated me to buy insulated coveralls.

Thats crazt alright.

Anyone that can own a blazer and keep fighting with them issue after issue and working on one for several months to over a year to try and get it going is crazy in my book.

Well most of my friends think I'm nuts because of how much money I have spent on my blazer and I still have such a long ways to go to do what I want with it...

Dont feel bad I have spent nearly $2400 on mine and only drove it when I 1st got it.The engine was knocking and it shift into any gears but only went forward in 1st and and the reverse worked.

im about to have to shell out money for: new headlights and ambers. pretty much complete replacement,fuel pump so i can read my gas gauge, and there is a ticking noise when i turn on AC/heat, sure im going to have to shell out money for that as well.
on the crazy note I drifted and did donuts in the parking lot outside of my local gamestop when i grabbed halo 4....didnt know what came over me, enjoyed it though
