So its not s/c big deal, im planning on trying to see if i can get one installed. and by the way my fathers dead and my mother is broke okay. i worked my ass off for this thing doing various web design jobs and such, and so happen to pay it off by the time i got my license. ofcourse i was 14 1/2 when i started making payments through my mom. So it wasnt just handed to me. Yes i know going through a puddle in public is risky it only lasted like 2 minutes, and yes the car wash by heb helped, my friend works there and i can get free washes when ever he is there. altho i wouldnt have to cover anything up. i can do what ever i want to the car and my mother doesnt care. tho i dont have total disrespect for the vehicle itself. its a fine vehicle and i love it, thats why i bought it. Now that i have completely paid it off as of next month, and my original dealership warranty and nissan warranty hit the dust i can start modifieing it without voiding anything. I love offroading and if anyone in the area knows where some trails are i would be happy to take them. I live right by the rudys b-b-q. and i am usually driving in that area. Yes i know power braking and peeling out is bad for brakes and tranny and i am willing to pay for what ever brakes its not a problem. Tho i dont expect anything to happen. I put my x through hell the first 2 years i had, when i turned 15 my mom didnt mind that i drove it without a license because i lived on a island in the town of port aransas. I took it through charlies pasture, and alot of dunes. I dont appretiate your negative comments and i dont mean to quarrel with anyone. I just love the X as well as the rest of yall and thought it would be neat to show some of my pictures and experiences with the rest of the x owners here. I meant no harm, and on the street i am a normal regular driver FYI, I obey the speed limit always wear my seat belt and have never had an accident. Its the people who drive crazy on the highways and acceess roads that bring up the insurance rates. my insurance is 210$ a month, im not happy with that but its lower than most rates. Anyway please i didnt come to this forum to be mocked and critisized. I apologize.
