My friend bought a used Blazer on high school. It was single stage tan, and looked like it had served some kind of government role. We had so much fun in that truck, and he absolutely beat the shit out of it.

I always hated the way these things looked. I hated the stupid squared-off cabin. In fact, I hated everything these cars represented. How could somebody buy this car in 1988-1990 knowing that the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Maxima, and Ford Taurus existed!?? Blows my mind.
I flew into Ronald Reagan late one night and the National Emerald Aisle had a massive navy over tan Expedition EL Limited sitting there. Clearly not a reasonable choice for my 3-day business trip, but I thought, “what they hell.”
Mine’s a Camry. 2012. You put gas in it, and it goes. It’s gray. There’s nothing else to say about it. No picture needed—you all know what a Camry looks like.
When I was 16 a guy down the street sold me a 1990 Geo Metro for $50. He had bought it for his teenage daughter, but was now getting rid of it because he couldn’t get it to start and run consistently. I towed it half a block home and started my investigation (mind you, I had minimal electrical or mechanical…
It’s been a few years since we did the job. I wish I could remember what we actually used to clean it out. Sorry.
Peter, that’s a nice write-up, and a sweet little truck. Take good care of her.
I think that’s what disappointed me the most (although in fairness, I am very easily disappointed). On the outside you have this unique wood paneling, that frankly looks kinda cool. But the inside doesn’t mirror the woody experience in any way.
What a disappointing interior. So much gray. I felt sad just looking at a picture of it—I can’t imagine how depressed I would be if I had to dwell within that chamber melancholy every day.
I had this same 4.7 in my 4Runner and it only cost me $650 to do the timing belt and water pump. I don’t think that’s unreasonable for something that only needs to be done every 100k miles or so.
all the things that made the Lex lux in ‘99 are no longer cutting edge.
Classic German racing green.
So the Hellcat leaves a trail of fire and brimstone? Sounds like a feature, not a flaw.
Are you in Coeur d’Alene? I was there a couple weeks ago and was surprised that such a small town had an Alfa dealership.
As a card-holding Land Cruiser nut, I’m not surprised by it’s top-of-the-pack finish. What I find interesting is that the big BOF Expedition is so near the top, but the Suburban isn’t in the top ten. I tried to pull to full list on iseecars.com, but I couldn’t find it—just the summary data.
I just hope the film crews are keeping plenty of Brawndo on hand to keep these Real People quenched and provide them with the electrolytes they crave.

These things are perfect for storm chasing.
Is this thing street legal!!? So many of them will be destroyed on the way home from the dealership...
