House Wife 1 Blazer 0


Tommarrow I bid farewell to my death trap on wheels. I'm a bit nostalgic with my blazer, after all we brought Michael Jr home from the hospital in it. But the warranty is up in 2 weeks and my dealership is too incompetant to fix the reoccuring problems with this white trash mobile. I'll miss having the comfort of a suv, but I won't miss the 11/15 fuel consumption, I'm pretty sure that my truck has a funnel hat as a gas tank. Plus it's not exactly reassuring when you search consumer reports history on a chevy blazer and a tombstone complete with circling buzzards appears. Tommarrow I will settle into my mom mobile, a brand new 2008 nissan sentra with a fuel economy of 25/33, I can leave the heart medication at home from now on when I go to the gas pumps, and this time it won't be twice a week. So I pick up my new car tommarrow, and there will be pictures to follow.

Nice. You won't be as easy to find on the road any more either. Can't wait to see the new wheels.

Does your new hubby want to buy a manly truck? I have a big, black one for sale now.....

You know you want it. He needs to get out of that little car.
