#1209 checking in (was "Caver-X"), registered 11/16/2000. Alpine Green Xterra is long gone, RIP. When I traded it in for a Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, the dealer swore that it had been rolled and had flood damage (neither was true). Since the Ram, I've also had a Yellow TJ Rubicon and am now rolling in a KJ Liberty CRD (my fave so far, biodiesel + 30mpg FTW!!1).

Folks I met here and through HXOC are still some of my best friends, although we don't get to hang out nearly as much as we used to due to life's various interferences. I have fond, fond memories of time spent in Ouray, and the San Juans are still my #1 vacation destination. I stop by here to take a glance around every few months or so but it just hasn't at all been the same place since Calmini screwed the pooch and trashed the site. They can suck it as far as I'm concerned.
