Dr. Whitney Wright’s on a quest for the ultimate family ride, something that screams adventure and togetherness. Yep, he’s all about those good vibes and making memories with his crew.
Now, Whit’s a man with a plan, and he knows exactly what he wants – a custom ride that’s as family-oriented as it gets. And let’s talk about his favorite color – orange. Why orange, you ask? ‘Cause for Whitney, orange is all about happiness, and rolling around in a sick orange blazer? Well, that’s just the cherry on top.
So, where does our man Whitney find this dream machine? On OfferUp in good ol’ AZ, of course! But when he tries to rally up the troops to check it out in Buckeye, nobody’s biting. But hey, Whitney’s not one to back down from a challenge.
He rolls up to the seller’s spot, ready to get his hands dirty. And what does he find? A primered Blazer chilling in a shipping container. But that doesn’t faze Whitney – he’s ready to dive in and see what this baby’s made of.
He scopes out the body – primed and ready to roll on a stock chassis. Sure, it’s a bit of a fixer-upper, but Whitney sees the potential, man.
After laying out all the parts and making sure he’s not getting in over his head, Whitney does what any dude with a vision would do – he makes a cash deal on the spot with the owner’s wife. Talk about seizing the moment, right?
Now, here’s the kicker – Whitney’s always had a thing for full convertible Blazers. I mean, who wouldn’t want to feel that wind in their hair, right? So, he turns to ZaccardiBuilt Garage to hook him up with a sick K5 Blazer that’s as reliable as it is head-turning.
But Whitney’s not stopping there – he wants this Blazer to be a beast off-road too. That’s why he’s packing an LS powerplant and big brakes from Baer to handle whatever the road throws his way.
For Whitney, it’s all about that open-air feeling, cruising with his crew, and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. And with his sick orange Blazer leading the way, you know there are nothing but good times ahead, my friend.
