girlfriend?? What a weak excuse

Active Membership has been steady between 45-50 this year. Not the 80+ we enjoyed a couple of years ago, but obviously times have been tough in the telecom/ tech sector, which employed a lot of members.

We seem to have a more diverse membership base now, so I expect our ranks will turn up over the next year.

We need to bug more people with Xterras when we see them, too. Download flyers from the Yahoo! site

nyuk nyuk nyuk...

i thought i found myself, but... i didn't. still lost....

I'm getting my X when I start working after I graduate. I can get a great discount offered from my future job-and since I'm not holding back on any features, it'll be worth the wait!!

That's why I need to meet some Xterra owners and get some advice about what's necessary and what's not needed on an X....maybe you can help in the future...

Everybody i have met are really nice and would more than gladly help you fix it up. I would go for some good tires first, then there are so many options after that.

Walt, what and where is the Yahoo site with the flyers you were talking about.

What job is going to give you a disount? I need one of those! Anyway... welcome to XOC... hope you enjoy it and find the info you're looking for... my only advice is to skip leather, avoid the supercharger (unless you're getting a kickass job and want to spend all your money on super premiun fuel), go with the 4x4 the first time, and don't expect to have the gas mileage of a Honda, cuz it won't, and avoid South Point and Town North's service centers & sales if possible... so how much longer till you get to go shopping?

Oh yeah, and stay away from austinbrtndr, he's evil. (Hahahaha, you know I'm kidding Craig)

Avoid Town North? The one on 183? Hmmmmm.... That's where I go for all my servicing. Haven't had a problem yet.

Me neither.

They're quick. They're reasonably priced.

Maybe they just screwed with Kraig or something . . .

Their salespeople, on the other hand . . .

Well, it'll be about a year....I was shooting for May '04, but since I don't start working till Sept. my discount won't work until then.

So, Deloitte & Touche is where I'll be working, and they have deals with Nissan and Infiniti and basically the dealership sells to you at their cost! You pay like 2.9% for delivery or something...not bad, huh? So, I'm definitely going to be fixing it up, starting with the tires as recommended and of course, 4x4. Can't get an SUV without that! I was gonna go for the SC Xterra, but why do you say it's not worth it besides the gas guzzlin' problem? You get like 40 more horsepower...is it not worth it? I mean, I'll be hitting the roads in Colorado...won't it come in handy??

So, I was also thinking, if ya plan on going off-roading any time, could I tag along since I don't have one yet?

One more thing...for anyone who knows anyone who has a Jeep Wrangler.... My friend has a white soft top, brand new, and is willing to sell it for a few hundred bucks! Serious discount...if anyone is interested let me know..he's got it in Dallas for all you up in North Texas.

You're welcome to join us whenever you want... you might even try and make it to a few meetings or dinners (isn't it about time for another one?), I don't think anyone would mind... as for the SC issue, in my own opinion, the 30 extra horses in a vehicle this size isn't going to do a whole lot... not to mention the extra money spent to purchase the upgrade, then all the extra cash spent at the pump... there are a lot of people driving around CO in n/a X's that don't seem to have many complaints... but then again, there are a lot of people that love their SCs... I'd drive em and see for yourself...

Don't listen to him... get the supercharger.

I'd have one - but they didn't offer it in 2K

I'd skip it, but then I'm a cheap bastard and don't think the extra hp is worth the price of gas you pay.

There is a meeting in two weeks on Sat at Joe's Crab Shack in Plano, if you are interested.

I believe the next scheduled trip to Barnwell is going to be the weekend before Thanksgiving. Some people go up Fridays, others go first thing Saturday morning. I will probably go up that Friday again, so I can get in two nights of camping. I'm sure somebody will allow you to tag along on that trip.

I'm going to that one for sure! :rolleyes: I hope... :rolleyes: But yeah, you're more than welcome to ride along with me or whoever else decides to go...

No kidding? My friend's sister-in-law just married Jim Quigley's son a month or so ago.

It's a small world after all.

Oh, that sucks that the next meeting is in Plano--cuz i'm in Austin..unless it's on a weekend or something and I might be up there.

The trip sounds fun....i'll keep checking in for details. Thanks!!

We are meeting October 25, which is a Saturday, so you should be able to make it.
