Whitney the Red-Nosed Blazer

Written by

My quad attacked my car! 

This past weekend I was unloading my four-wheeler from my mother's Silverado, backing it down the ramps, when the brakes failed and it rolled straight into my Blazer. After putting a palm to my forehead, I pulled the bike forward to discover I had shattered Whitney's grille. I could probably push that old Honda off a cliff and the bike would be okay, so obviously there was no damage to my quad, but my car needed fixed. 

After yanking out that what was left of the grille, I zip-tied my blinkers to my bumper and was just going to run it with the missing piece until a nice one came up at the junk yard. That was the plan until my mom saw it and got on my case about the vulnerability of my radiator to rocks and whatnot. So, I heeded her advice and hit up the local Pull-A-Part. Right now, they're a little light on the S-10's, Blazers, and their sibling models, so my options were limited.

It was between a beat up, rusty grille which was already spray painted black or a nice-looking factory red one. Well, based on the title of this blog, I think you know which one I came home with. They told me I can rattle-can it whatever color I want and still exchange it within the window if a factory white or some other nice piece comes in, which is cool. Honestly, though, I'll probably just clown around with the red nose here for now!
