Mntsnow I've got an old 77 FS Blazer for my 4 wheeling toy it's been about anywhere that no man has been before. These old blazers are great for the deep mud :D I am still waiting for a new truck but the wife just got a new minivan and my 91 Chevy 454 SS 2wd :( is going to have to do for now.

OMG...Someone in the same lifeboat as me :) Atleast I know I have company :) hehe


MDS, I currently have a 84 Full size Blazer with 35" BFG's and 6" liftkit that has been my "daily driver" and I also have a 77 FS Blazer too! (http://www.digitalmntsnow.com/images/Blaz1.JPG) That one is my "hunting/Rockcrawling" rig that has 33" and a 4" lift and cutout wheelwells/ crushed rocker panels and all the other stuff :D lol

I don't have anything in the yard with less than 200,000 miles - [ diesel all ] - And I'l probably never buy new anyway -

well new athalon - new agp - new mb - [ I better wake up ]

What would I want for Christmas - continued good health - That we all enjoy some peace, and we are safe.

Hehe Yep! that 77 blazer gets about 8 -12 miles to the gallon IF I keep my foot off the "go pedal" and about 4-6 when I'm in the mud and snow on the mountain and have my foot on the "fun pedal" :D

My 84 Blazer is a Diesel and I love that one...It gets about 18-24 on the freeway depending on if I'm towing the snowmobiles or not :)

The above are just toys.
When (if?) I get a scanner I will post a photo of mine.
1947 Chrysler 6x6 .
Had to do just a little work to make it go.
Add 302 with FMX trans 12x20'' tires.
Great toy.
Ugly as mud but lots of fun.

My wife and I didn't buy each other anything for Christmas - We're holding off until the sales start and then are going to buy a 32" or 36" TV set for the den. Probably also get a second DVD as well. Other than that - she's getting a new computer once I find the time to stay home and load the operating system. Nothing massive - just a 1.6 Ghz with 512 RAM and a new 20GB hard drive. We'll be running win2k so she can work from home - Hopefully that will be soon so we can "justify" a cable modem. Has to be cable because her work applications were written for specific packet sizes ( sounds incredibly stupid to me - but oh well.) Otherwise, our daughter made out like a bandit - massive qualtities of plastic toys. We did the whole milk and cookies for Santa thing - even left a bucket of water and "reindeer food" on the front porch. It was a good year. The food was incredible - I'll be paying for it for at least 2 months......the food that is.....:D

LOL Axel :) I know just what you mean about the food :)

It's not a NEW car but it's NEW to me and it beats the hell out of the old van I had to drive for 6 months.......

It's a Holden Camira, 5-speed manual with a 2ltr 4cyl. Fuel injected and I love hte long gear ratios.....I was sitting comfy @150k's today.....(just got it registered and insured this morning:D) which is rougle just under 100mph:D Gotta love the sports pedals though.....shiny! I also spent just over 4hrs cleaning, vacuuming and polishing it.....

WHERE'S MY BROTHER......I MUST STEAL HIS DIGITAL CAMERA!
