That is one action packed pic.
lol, I like your sig pic too, you know what they say, " If you cant Duct it then *uck it" ;)
I swear I could save the world with Duct tape & zip ties,lol.
EvansBlue 08-18-2009, 11:05 PM Ahhh.. if everyone had access to the industrial rolls of Shurtape 3" duct tape I have.
Imagine "Duck" brand being twice as sticky and 10 times as hard to tear. Those my profession tend to joke that Shurtape can keep satan stuck to a cross...
suzuki-guy 08-18-2009, 11:06 PM Gorilla tape is reall good to. They also make gorilla glue.
Wastehog 08-18-2009, 11:59 PM Lol. Sept. ROTM thread turned into a tape discussion now =p. Gotta love it
Mike Sigmond 08-19-2009, 12:15 AM Lol. Sept. ROTM thread turned into a tape discussion now =p. Gotta love it
I guess that would me my fault:p
EvansBlue 08-19-2009, 12:33 AM Meh. Gotta have something to talk about haven't we? Might as well be a subject we understand. lol
Better a duct tape discussion than other subjects....
I'll ban the first person that mentions motor oil. lol
suzuki-guy 08-19-2009, 12:56 AM Yeah about motor oil.... lol DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!
mike79K5 08-19-2009, 10:03 AM so when you say " ban " ...ummm do you mean " ban " ..........
it was a hard decission on the pic...it was the mud splash or driving down the 3ft of water in the trail.. the mud one had some paanazz... doesnt really show the blazer though, but if they look at the album there are some good shots in there... oh well time will tell....

You could go ahead and add some mods to my baby if you'd like.
Anyways, I haven't done much to my truck, I'm still waiting on saving up some money to do so but right now most if it is going to my Tuition & books.. and I want to buy a shot gun for the range soon. Plus I stopped working from Oct 08 to help my mom out with her business since she paid for my first year of college and I just started officially working again this past June :) ah, what a nice Vacay.
Oh yeah, I also had to pay $900 to get my truck to start last month, damn.
I love that expensive old Truck, it's spoiled.

mike79K5 08-19-2009, 06:51 PM i got a list somewhere.... dont have to much time to work on the blazer much, mostly on weekends when we are not off roading, the 10 month old girl keeps me busy durring the week, hince i am a stay-at home dad, and part time national guard, the wife is the bread winner , being full time army,,, is is not a bad life....lol beer all week, mud on the weekends, and i get to play and run around the house all day...lol
EvansBlue 08-19-2009, 08:24 PM Kids at that age are indeed a handful.
Mike Sigmond 08-19-2009, 09:25 PM i am a stay-at home dad, the wife is the bread winner
Cheers, same here, for the moment.
Wastehog 08-19-2009, 09:30 PM Wow, Mike has the life we all want! =p I like his picture the most. I think Brent is braggin a bit.. lol. I have a thing for blazers, mostly when people call them trucks.. that gets me going.
I have something to talk about.. why do people call suv's, usually the small ones, trucks? How do they qualify.. Now I could see an 80's Burban bein a truck, because its huge, but still.. WHY?
There's a discussion =p
EvansBlue 08-19-2009, 11:42 PM "Sport Utility Vehicle" is nothing but a strategic marketing term employed by Suzuki in the mid 80's to try to improve their image with the younger generation. Subcompact was and still is (ahem.. freecreditreport.com commercial) a dirty word.
Also, the acronym "SUV" has 3 phonetic syllables whereas the word "Truck" has only 1. Its a human's lazy nature to save all physical effort possible even if its as trivial as moving our lips once instead of 3 times.
Who's to say a Blazer is small anyway? Ask anyone from overseas and they will tell you that it is one of the larger vehicles on the road.
mike79K5 08-20-2009, 09:34 AM so just a heads up i am moving next weekend and my internet will be off untill i find a place in kansas. so "heheheh just in case " i win...lol... i will not be able to respond right away.. ... darn the wife's job always moving around and sorts.......... cheers

suzuki-guy 08-21-2009, 11:40 PM Unfortunately we do not have enough users to do this yet:( It is hard enough to get participants in a normal contest! I wish we could do this good idea Mike!
Mike Sigmond 08-22-2009, 12:15 AM Yea , if anything we will split up cars & trucks first, we need to get this contest much more active.:cool:

suzuki-guy 08-29-2009, 08:53 PM I know we can update them but more then one?
Mike Sigmond 08-29-2009, 08:56 PM I guess it's no different than looking at ones album. I will make it more clear next round that the contestant may post updated pics in the thread at any time. Thats eaiser than PM'ing me to change the thread starter.
Flying Low 08-29-2009, 10:53 PM Voting is fun!
Good luck everyone.
EvansBlue 08-29-2009, 10:59 PM I didnt know we could Put other pictures on here???
There is not, as of now, a rule as of now that prevents posting additional pics of the competing rides within the thread. I never really considered it.
Mike and I will probably be discussing and amendment to the rules to clarify whether you can or can't in the near future.
myotherchevyisablazer 08-30-2009, 10:30 AM wow look at you brent:)...pulling away from the tie....good luck everyone
