changing the oil requires a square shovel and a broom to clean all the mud that comes off in the process...

When you aren't allowed to use your local self car wash.. because you leave too much mud in your stall...

add to it folks..

Been posted before. Last year I think.

... you get passed by old ladies giving you the finger (1st gen)

When you have seen this thread and replied more than twice.

In A Gen 2 you get fingers from little old ladies as you fly past them on the highway doing twice there speed

that's right (gen2) take pride in passing old ladies on the highway..

hey u can fly past people in gen 1 it just takes a little more effort and a lot more gas

....when your gasoline expenses each month are more than your mortgage.....

Someone says nice JEEP and you respond

As Well as your Mod bill.. hmmm what can I do next...

When you carry a spare can of gas just in case you head into hill country

Pretty much about the time you bought it...

You know you own an Xterra when:

- if you go somewhere, you park by another Xterra, just because.

- when you take you X to a trail and people ask "what's that you're drivin?"

- all the gas station atendants in the local area know you by name ( I drive just about 60 miles a day just to work and back)

- when you drive and try to wave to other Xterra owners (mostly women here) and they just look at you funny.

- when you sit at work and read XOC for a good part of the day.

- sometimes you look outside your window in the house and just admire how you X looks.

- puting on another mod you've been saving for feel like it's your b-day or something, especially if you do it yourself.

...when you get yelled at from your salesman at the dealership because he washed your muddy truck in the car wash and clogged up the drains and left it out of commission for 2 weeks.

-when you get a strange look from a stuck jeeper on the road during a bad snow storm, help him out of his mess and drive through what he was stuck in with only 2wd

-go out to eat with your girlfriend, but make sure you get a window seat so you can keep an eye on the X

-your girlfriend starts to point out and yell "Xterra!" whenever she see another one drive by you

-when you purposly park far away from a store because you notice a snow pile that took up half a spot, and you just had to climb it

I can relate to all of those. I do it all the time.

...when you can name the year and official color of an oncoming X...at night.

When you grab your drink and the cupholder comes along with it.....happened many many times.

when changing an alternator while lying in the mud on your back in the dark ....

with nothing but a swiss army knife and a gerber tool

is considered an 'easy' mod!

You stare at your car's reflection in the window while your sitting at the drive-through waiting to move up in line to order some lunch. (Did that today...I think a person inside thought I was staring at them...whoops!)

haha how about....

when your at a red light and look to see that the building next to you has a mirror like window, and you stare at your X in the reflection, admiring its good looks while people behind you are honking because the light turned green a long time ago...i do that every time i go to my friends house

Because 2nd Gen is SOOOOO Much faster with it's 180hp vs. Gen 1's 170hp. :rolleyes: How about I drive past you in my 05 Pathy with 270HP and wave to you like this...

You can't really call an '02-'04 a second generation though. It was an update more than a redesign. The 2nd gen. really didn't start until the '05.

i believe the 2nd gen has 265 horsies

Alright, maybe I took it out of context then.....
