How long have you had and how much have you put into your blazer?

I stopped paying attention on what I have spent... I like the truck too much to really care. But its damn near half of what I payed for it (2400$)
A lot of that was misc stuff that did not need to be done (alt upgrade, stereo, lights ect)

Bet I hold a record for this: Purchased my first Blazer on December 10th 2012. It was a 2004 4 door 4-wheel drive 91k. Fell in love with it. December 21st 2012 (11-days later) I totaled it!! I paid $4300 for it. Received $7000. for it from the ins. comp. on January 9th. January 18th purchased my second Blazer (at the local auction again) Its a 2005 4 door 4-wheel drive with 121k, paid $2795. and drove it away. Thats got to be some kind of record. LOL. These trucks are very versatile and comfy. And have guts…
