Default lost the Blazer

A couple weeks ago the wife said "if you dont start riding your motorcycle more ,your going to need to get a part time job "
I work out of town and prefer to spend $20 a week instead of $70 for fuel if I am driving the Blazer
It was raining this morning so I needed to take a 4 wheeler , she says" take the Civic(that was my car that she took a liking to ) , I need to get used to driving the Blazer "
When I bought the Blazer ,it was supposed to be her daily driver and a tow rig for the camper but it is a "Base" so no bells or whistles and she snubbed it
Since it was my driver I put mudder tires on, she isnt lovin them
Hopefully I will still get it in stormy winter weather

And the two become one flesh... So if she will drive it and you can keep it in the family... Then, you still have it...

Like I said , it was supposed to be her daily driver because she work only about 10 blocks from home
She just thinks its like "driving a tank" with the 30 inch mudders
She is a realatively new driver and had only ever drove my Civic and a rental car (2013 Malibu)for a couple days that she absolutly hated

My wife doesn't like driving my Blazer either, but at least she doesn't mind my playing with it and doing modifications. She can't complain about mileage because my Blazer gets better gas mileage than her Durango. That thing is a thirsty beast in the city.

Get her a bicycle...win win...saves gas and you keep your ride.
tell her you will get a second job when she bikes her rear to work.
Yeah......that attitude may be why i get looks at home sometimes.

I had a 06 Dakota SLT 4.7 5spd and I will agree with the Durango being horrible on fuel

I always liked my Civic and it actually is OK with me that she figures she should drive the Blazer instead
I know she is going to put some door dings and scratches on it just like my Civic
