Red face So Long, Goodbye!!

When I joined the forums here, I new that I wasn't going to stay in the same vehicle category forever. I learned alot thanks to blazerLT, blazee, and everyone else in the forum. Unfortunately, on the 13th, my tire blew on my 1997 Blazer while traveling 65 MPH down a rural road. I lost control of my vehicle, ran off the road, hit 2 tree stumps (that were about 3 feet tall) and finally flipped once. I'm proud of how my blazer went out, because it totally protected me from danger. I walked out of it, shaken, but not harmed. the whole front end was damaged beyond repair, and by looking at it, you would think I was injured. The airbag didn't deploy, (which was wierd to me, even though I was awake throughout the whole ordeal, and took those tree stumps head on) and nothing buckled beyond the front. Had I been driving my old vehicle (1997 Cavalier) my luck wouldn't have been as good. So that ends the chapter in my life as a Blazer owner. I must move on to a new vehicle, and sadly, I don't think I will be sticking with the blazer. Mainly, because I like to have variety in my life, and after owning 1 type of vehicle, I like to try something else. I retire my blazer sadly, and my title as a blazer owner, and wish you all good luck with your blazers.

RIP 1997 Chevy Blazer, 4dr, power everything, 204,349 miles.
