Joined in Dec 2000. Just traded my silver ice for a 2011 Midnight Armor S yesterday. Had 186k on my ol' 2000X. I still read up when needed. XOC saved me a ton of dough and time on a few occasions. Had a fuel sending unit go at a most inopportune time, searched xoc, drove wifes car to get a new unit and back to the X and slapped it in in 15 minutes or so. Part cost around $50. Dealer wanted a few hundred $$$ to do the job plus a tow.
So I owe a few beers there.
Made the timing belt change go smoothly too = a few more beers.
Stereo upgrade, dido.
Other recommendations instead of trial and error at least another beer.
Also had a great time with a bunch of east coast XOCers back in 2001 on the Outer Banks. Can't recall any names but I do remember we all had a blast.
