Default How I got my Blazer!

Just thought I'd share my story of how I got my Blazer.

Me and a buddy were car pooling to work in December of 2007 right after 3 or 4 inches dropped over night. I was driving my little 1995 chevy cavalier (TANK) just chuggin along in the snow with now problems. I pull out into the intersection to turn left while i was waiting for traffic to pass. During this time the traffic light turns red so i proceed to clear the intersection making sure everyone knew i was doing so. as i started i saw a Chrysler Pacifica in the distance in the on coming traffic lane. I started turning and my buddy in the passenger seat just says "OH ****" then i look over and the Pacifica was suddenly there! i had just enough time to straighten out the car so i didn't have a passenger side impact. luckly i got it straight enough to where he blasted my front passenger side bumper. i spun 2 1/2 circles in the intersection while this guy stood on the gas and plowed thro the snow 2 or 3 blockes down the street some how missing all the other cars in traffic. including my brothers truck that was first at the light! end up with the cops there and the guy getting sited for speeding and violating a red light. i got my car totalled but it allowed me to get a insurance settlement to put a down payment on my blazer about a month later after i found it at a carlot! ended up with no severe injury's from the impact! that little cavalier toke a heck of a hit and did its job to keep me and my buddy pretty dang safe! heres a link to my myspace for pics! let me know if it doesn't work!

That is awesome! I'm glad your passenger did alright since he was closest to impact.

ROFL! You just reminded me of driving a 4dr cavy through 3ft of water in a crick with a blown out tire, haha!

LOL, back in the day the 4dr cavy was a CHEVY TRUCK, lol
