The Beast

I have been driving my big red Blazer for the past two weeks since an unfortunate incident with a deer took the Silverado out of commission for a few weeks. Due to its age of 22 years and 250K on the odo it is well past its prime and is an adventure to drive. I keep it because it is the best winter truck there is, 4 wheel drive, ABS, and high ground clearance. With the issues it does have it works best in the cold. So anyway, a friend asked how it was to drive it during the summer and here is my text back:

She's a democrat when braking, at high speed the steering is looser than a coked up prostitute, at low speed its tighter than a virgin bride, so much so that it shuts the engine off occasionally and the shocks are so worn it feels like I'm on the ocean when I hit bumps. Other than that she's a joy to drive. The Beast is a death trap at best, the only thing going for it is it’s so large it'll probably survive a nuclear detonation.
I need to replace her eventually but for right now she still runs and gets me from point A to point B
