BlueSky, unfortunately I know exactly what you mean. All the H2s and Land Rovers around here are chromed and blinged out, including chrome brushguards and taillight guards, and giant Nitto Mud Grapplers (Great tires, I'm considering getting them, but the ones on the trucks here are super polished and the most off-pavement use they'll ever see is driving through a muddy puddle around construction sites). For the record though, a good deal of the Xterras I see around here are 4x2s with brushguards and taillight guards, but then big shiny wheels and "station wagon tires". Funniest one was a first gen yellow 4x4 X, with those Wal-Mart spinner rims, and low-profile tires, but then the brushguard and taillight guards. Typical around here... And as far as work ethic, almost every gift I've ever recieved comes with certain conditions. For both the X and H2, I have to keep my 4.0, and stay on swimming, soccer, and water polo teams. I also have to get a job over summer, because a job right now would be kinda hard to juggle between junior year of highschool, at a boarding school, and soccer. And when I was born, I was born into a tiny 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with my parents, my sister, and I. So I wasn't just born into wealth and handed things through my life, and neither were my parents, so they've taught me that if I want anything in life, I'm gonna have to work my ass off to get it.
PDXterra, I know it should come with the hooker, or actually I would prefer if they threw in a converted Toyota Prius that follows me around everywhere with a little hose to refuel me while on the move wink
VW X-Man, thank you. And as they say, hindsight is always 20/20, had I known this was going to be the general reaction, I would've just never posted on here again, I honestly thought maybe a few people would chime in and be like cool, and that would be it. But o well, guess it's a little too late now.
