The Blazer is in the shop again. Got home from Europe and all the oil had leaked out, I filled it up and drove it for a 1000 miles. Then the noises start… then the 4 wheel drive goes… then the fuses blow… but I still drive it for another 2000 miles. Scheduling car repairs is a night mare so I put it off, hopefully I have not destroyed the whole front end… it sounds like a tank everywhere I go and when I get it up to 65 it feels like the tires are about to warble off… not good.
Something like this happens at least once a year… usually more often… and if I want it back fixed it always costs at least $500. I pay gladly. Because I love my blazer and I believe it is destined for 300,000 mile greatness. I suppose I have inherited my car habits from my father… the rules are simple.
- You never buy a new car
- You pay somebody to fix when it breaks
- You run it into the ground
I plan on sticking to these rules, on occasion I will fix something myself just so I feel manly… but I don’t really trust my own car repair work… and when you live in Detroit, you can’t do anything without a car… so you don’t chance it.
