Blazers are lumbering beasts with slow, unresponsive steering (at least my 72 is he he) but they are an absolute blast to drive with the top off during the summer and great to go four wheeling in. Makes it even better when you've got an engine in it that makes it go from 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. What a blast... I'll never trade mine for any other 4x4.
