2024 Blazer RS

Sounds like a great plan Jim. Let me know if and when you might visit the Moose. In the mean time, enjoy that reunion.

nothing near a serious plan but have talked about it .... might include a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway during peak color ....

as noted above, we have a 10AM appointment to do the paperwork and hopefully drive home Maureen's new Blazer .... it appears that a our tradition of having bad weather on the day we get a new car will continue .... in 2005 it rained when we got the Trailblazer we still have .... in 2011 they had to clear snow off of the the Silverado which we still have ..... in 2016 rain on the day we got Maureen's Camaro that we totaled earlier this year .... our area is in a dry spell and today they are calling for rain, wind, thunderstorms, etc .... as this is being typed, we can hear thunder in the distance

And I thought I was the only one with the bad weather curse.

its rained and stormed most all day but she's home .... when we signed the papers she had 6 miles on the odometer, we put those on it during a test drive .... she goes back to the dealership for the ceramic coating which should take 2 days .... new cars aren't all that common in our family so when somebody has one, most of the family comes by to see it .... so far its been well received .... I sat through the demo but have already figured out, I need a refresher class

CONGRATULATIONS!...it's beautiful!

[JEBar]

thanks .... we do think it turned out nice .... once they get it ceramic coated, it should really shine ..... prior to this Blazer we've only owned one red vehicle .... it was a 1978 Jeep J10 pickup that we kept for 24 years

Nice looking vehicle.

I can imagine, my newest ever car is my 2006 Miata which has a 366 page owner's manual and it's not that complicated being a base model without a lot of extras. My friend has a 2014 Dodge Dart with a 656 page pdf owner's manual.

Very nice and Maureen’s smile says it all.

Amazing the difference between this Blazer and the original.
