I completely forgot to show off the new truck. It's a 2015 Nissan Xterra. Yes I have a thing for them. I like the idea of a small SUV that doesn't look like a soccer mom vehicle. This one is called "Ghost". The old Xterra, "Minion" was sold off last week. It was just getting to expensive to maintain. I will miss a lot about that truck though especially the supercharger.

Nice, I'm guessing the yellow one is Minion?
I really like Nissans on the whole, we've had three so far, they've all been nice to drive.

Yeah the yellow one was the "Minion". This is my fourth Nissan and they're awesome vehicles.

Re: New(er) Truck
Congrats on the new Nissan, I also drive one, but mine is a 1993 pickup. Before that it was a 1986 Nissan Sentra that lasted 18 years with 697,000 miles on it before it finally broke beyond reasonable repair costs. Nissans truly do last!

Re: New(er) Truck
Very nice! I don't blame you for liking those Nissans. We had a 2001 model Xterra and enjoyed the lease. Since then, we've had 3 Nissan Maximas, one Altima Coupe (3.5) and now our Infiniti Qx50. I've had great luck with all my Nissan-family cars, and would own another without worry. I think the Nissan VQ series of V6 engines are just awesome, and powerful, while reliable. All three Maximas and that Altima Coupe were true 150 mph autos if not for the rev-limiter and all were powered by some version of that engine, including the ugly-duckling QX50, with a whopping 325 HP and rear-wheel drive. Whooppee! What a lil' sleeper!

Re: New(er) Truck
The 2002 Xterra (yellow one) was a sleeper! It had a 6 cylinder with a supercharger and would flat haul ass. This one has a 6 cylinder but is not nearly as quick. I have a hard time remembering that sometimes.
