Re: finally got a blazer

That sucks you had to shell out so much more money to register it. But nice looking blazer sounds like an awesome project. Have fun cruising it around as well

That's the price to pay for living in sunny California. But at least with the age it is, you won't have to waste money smogging it.

But nice Blazer by the way. Just keep looking and you'll eventually find a back window for a decent price.
