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...

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
