It wasn't brand new, but it was only a few years old when I bought my first 72 (Blazer). I bought it because I could not afford the new squares that my brothers were driving. The medium blue and white soon grew on me (man, Id love to have that thing back).

I never hesitated driving the thing across the country. I drove it to California a few times, even down on the beach. Evidently, that was illegal but it was what I saw in the old movies, so I did it. I soon got buried in the sand, let the tires down to about 5 pounds and drove right out. But then there was the challenge of driving in CA traffic with only 5 lbs of air until I could air back up.

I was just going to say a few words, but the feeling of that old thing strikes up all those memories like the one above. Which is why I sought out another 72.

Someone mentioned above, but I would not dream of getting rid of the vent windows.
