The engine bay was pretty filthy and when I took radiator cap off it was corroded over terribly. Car was never taken care of. I've considered the options and really don't think anything on it would be worth much

    It's not extremely difficult. Hopefully you have charcoal interior and not that gay beige. Or else it'll be somewhat difficult finding a color to match right.

    I have that gay beige

    And I can vouch for the stains being hard as heck to get out of the fabric

    Flipped 196K this morning. Taking it to the shop for another new tire, and have the diagnose the shaking during acceleration between 40 and 60 MPH. Thinking more and more about dumping the GP next year. Just have to find the right replacement vehicle at the right price.

    Fixed a slow leak in my back passenger tire. It had been leaking for awhile I just kept a watch on it. Gotta love the repair kits from oreillys

    Lol be nice I loved my poor little blazer. That being said I traded it in for my GP. The blazer was a 1996 w/170k and ran/drove like a dream. I miss my black 2dr 4x4.

    Raced my wife down a background to prove her Ford focus wasn't as quick as she thought it was. Left her like she was parked. Just wish I was turbo/supercharged (soon hopefully).

    No just an 09 SE. Focus is only good for gas mileage.

    the 09 se is worlds faster than an spi focus. 2.3 duratec? or what motor do they put in there nowadays?

    My only complaint with my Blazer was that it had worse gas mileage than a Silverado. However it powered through anything I put it through. Was getting expensive to keep up with to some extent. Got it running perfect and traded it in. Some teenager will love it.

    I believe it's a 2.2 but don't hold me to it. Not impressive at all. Handles real nice though. Eats tires like crazy. Will not buy another, I want her to have a class car with remote start and leather interior. She really wants a Lexus. But we will see.
