Current and past rides
Ok.. Ok... I can take the hint. So far I have only identified one other Nissan Nut in here aside from me, but maybe the rest are in the closet? Sm2

Since the age of 18, here were my rides

2000 Chevrolet Cavalier-
Intake... Daily Maintenance... random fuel injectors misfunctioning daily, and of course snapping my main input shaft in half. They had to fly someone in from Detroit to verify that it was indeed design defect in the product. Needless to say that I got away from this car QUICK!

2004 Nissan Xterra XE 4x4
Intake, Exhaust, Brush Guard, Aftermarket Fogs (Ricer!), K&N Filter! - I was young and cheap haha

I kept the Xterra for about 3 years and in 2007 I decided to buy a brand new SE-R Spec V! Don't ask me what I was thinking, but I liked it and decided to get it. Brand new platform and upgrade for 2007 with 25 more horses in the Spec-V version of the QR25DE that is in the SE-R automatic. Impressive V-Brace in the back to help with stability too! <------sucker------>

Oh well, the car was torquey, 6 speed, and was better than the Xterra in Gas Mileage. It was fun for the few years.

Then in 2010, after 3 years, I hit 100k on my car. Decided it was time to trade her in, poor Dorothy. I found a 2010 Altima Coupe and was going to get the 3.5L 6Spd, but they had this model in Crimson Black that I really liked. It was 2.5 with the Technology Package, Sun roof, Power Seats, etc. It was what I wanted, but 2.5L and automatic. After haggling with them on the price and payment, I was able to negotiate to something reasonable. Decided, too, that it was time for an automatic and that I should give it a try. Last time that I will buy an automatic, at least for a while. I miss driving manual, but it's still a nice ride. Smile

No mods on this car. I do have all the creature comforts except heated seats. Backup camera and power seats is nice though.

I had my friend detail my car Smile

So the question is... in 2 years... what would my next car be?

My 1989 Nissan 240sx. This had I/E and was a fun little ride that overheated alot. Damn KA24DE's...

That's it.

2004 Nissan Xterra XE I/E (5MT) (Sold)

RE: Current and past rides
Nice MKIII's...

Here are a few of my faves...
My 95 Classic Rangie. Most reliable vehicle I've owned - seriously. I went everywhere in that beast! Put 60 on her in 4 years. Never even leaked, and still on the EAS.

My 86 765 Ti. The original owners son blew up the original motor. I swapped over the Ti part onto a na motor, keeping the higher compression of na. Heaps o' fun! Stiil had the Euro delivery decals on the window.

Man wagon #1. was a lemon. # 2 was a lemon, as well. Don't ask.

This was a two owners tank. Beautiful car, until some broad stopped in front of me getting off the GSP. Needless to say, we have one fewer Sebring convertible to deal with. I still sold the benz that day!

[Image: ry%3D480]

Finally, my beast. TDI, 5 speed NO ABS! 168K in three years. One of a few that I never should have sold. Chipped, gutted intake, mufflerectomy, Bilstein Sports / ProKits... 59 mpg lifetime!
