RE: SOTW: Chevrolet Blazer

[OLDS]

I have worked on thousands of those over the years..........no thanks.

High teens to 20 mpg? LOL

I have witnessed several people get very lucky with them however. Many many miles without a bit of problem. Many going well over 200k.

Great engine. Traditional small block 350 with two cylinders cut off.

They LOOK huge, they really do, have you even seen one on our roads? There are 2 I have seen regularly on my commute to work. It does not really matter at all, if they are not as large as a RangeRover. Because my point, was not the ACTUAL size, but the fact that they LOOK ridiculously out of proportion on our, mostly, smaller than US roads.

Comprende?

Width: 70.5 in (1,791 mm

BMW 3 series

You must have a very distorted sense of perspective.

Blazers are small.. that's sort of the point of them, compared to it's big brother the suburban or tahoe.

I must admit that I thought they were a bit smaller than the Landies - however I'm shocked at how porky the 3 series is

I followed one of these a couple of weeks ago and remembered this shed.




Although it may be difficult to see in this photo, the whole rig appeared to be listing to the right, as it the right side suspension had partially collapsed.
