Stealing the show

After the past few posts my buddy sent an e-mail describing the bad luck he's been having. You decide if he has us beat!

Well Goat, I could't help but notice all you (Gapper Family) trying to hog the glory when it comes to recent mishaps. Well, Let Big Geo show you how it's done properly! Let me tell you the tale of the 98 Blazer from hell!

January 18, 2004 - Purchase of a 1998 Chev Blazer. Black Leather seats, low KM, 4x4. passes my mechanics inspection.

January 19, 2004 - return to dealership when thermostat dies. They're not gonna screw me!! April 2004 - replace door pins and bushings on 2 front doors. $200. Mechanic says pretty common.

June 2004 - replace Signal switch $550. Hmmm. one of those things i guess.

August 2004 - Air conditioner runs out of freon. I have a leak. Oh well Summer is over. It'll wait.

October 2004 - get rear ended in parking lot. Ha ha! only $100 deductible!

January 2005 - repair transfer case so 4x4 still works. $650. this is beginning to hurt.

March 2005 - replace Water Pump and tear apart front differential. $850. Ok here's the first letter."L" April 2005

- Alternator blows. $350. Next up in an "E" June 2005

- Manifold intake gasket is shot. $350. Can i get an "M"!!!!!!!

July 2005 - "Lifters" begin making noise, at least that's what the mechanic says. No worries till it gets louder. Try some Hi mileage oil and an engine flush for now, but eventually about $600. OK that deserves an anticipatory "O"

August 2005 - and for the big finish!!!! that's right! A BLOWN ENGINE!!!!!!

That's it. I am beaten. I am at your mercy of lords of the S.O.B.(SUV). Please put me out of my misery! $2600!!!! Now THAT deserves an "N".

So to Recap. That's "L" "E" "M" "O" "N"!!!

So you see my fellow South Sask Natives, it could always be worse. If your ever in Regina, stop in and say hi! I'm the only with the $5300 repair bill up my a$$. Anyone want to buy a blazer?????

P.S. i fired the mechanic ,

Your humble goverment slug whiskey pete

Poor WHiskey pete, but since he's a public servant, we won't feel too sorry for him, I know he makes too much money anyway!! By the way Geo, how much $ did you pour into the old Torino that you drove for 5 years??
