About “Jenn... don't know why...”

I got this Blazer for my 15th B-day back in 2005. It was my uncle's golf mobile and my aunts bad-weather vehicle until my dad bought it.

So far she has been more reliable than I could have hoped. A lot of people may think she looks like garbage, most people say that this Blazer is the baddest Blazer in the state. I don't give a crap what anyone thinks about it but I like it!!!

About “The Super Blazer”

This is my everyday driver, The Super Blazer I got it in 2002. I got to thinking because of the color that it would look cool with Superman stuff on it because I am such a Superman Buff. This truck is for show not racing. I joined the Indiana Freedom Cruzers Car Club in 2005 and I show it at local shows. It has alot of different Superman Stuff, Check out the Mods for more.

Powertrain Options and Availability
A 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 was the sole engine at first, driving a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Vortec V6 introduced in 1996 developed five fewer horsepower and 10 fewer pound-feet of torque (peaking at lower rpm than before). Not until late in the 1996 model year did a 5-speed manual transmission become available, in 2-door models, as a credit option.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's crashworthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
