What we are shooting for here is what you prefer to drive. It doesn't necessarily have to include hunting trips or what you use to hunt in, but can if you want.
In my case I probably drive my Jeep Grand Cherokee more than my pickup because I use it for my work carpool. However, I'd actually prefer to be driving my pickup.

My choice was "pickup", but in this day of high gas prices it's tough to drive what you like.

I am really digging my go-fast Dodge Magnum. 18 mpg city, 25 highway. It tows my trailer fine loaded with the quad or mowers and it has room for the snot-gobbler and the dogs. And it has 350 HP, and will run a 12.5 second quarter mile.
I just picked up a 1996 Blazer too as a hunting beater.

Got my eye on a new VW rally car but most likely will end up in a GTI.
No 350 hourse power here but most likely I can keep up with jabba at the muncie drag strip.

Well I got my 96 s-10 pickup together so am driving that.
Also have a 96 s-10 blazer but blew the engin up in that.
If I had the money for a new car it would be a Mini-Cooper.

I just got a 1996 blazer. 131K miles. I sort of like it, at least for a beater.

I like the Blazer, and the wife said this morning she thought she had found the money to build anther motor.
It is too nice to junk(has a little over 100,000 miles on it) but body is good and everything works well so I'll be checking out the rebuild possibilites.
My pickup has 190,000 on it, but I just put $500 in the motor(new head) so I hope to get a few more years out of it.
When I get through with a vehicle I have got the last mile out of it.

Well this is my 3rd Blazer... Wife had a 1994... she totaled, a 1995 that someone else totaled for her while she was in it, and now this 1996. I have had 2 S-10 pick ups too. So this is my 5th S-10. I have also had a boat with 2 different 4.3 engines in it, so I am thoroughly familiar with that engine.
I am pretty happy with the 1996. I had the injectors cleaned yesterday and now the hesitation stumble is gone. There is still a little front end wobble, even after a tire balance and rotation, so now I guess I'll pull the driveshaft and see if there is a U-Joint that dry, or gone.

Could very likely be a CV joint,I would particularly look at the Right front Axle. For some reason the only ones I have replaced were right side.
