Zaphod. No specific reason, just been a fan of HG2G since I first saw the Brit series back in '82 (10x better than the movie that came out about the same time I got the X)... and I sure wasn't going to call it Arthur DENT, or FORD Prefect... and Marvin had this pain in the diodes in his left (drivers) side (too much bad juju on those 3), Slartibartfast was too long, and Vogon Prostetnic Jeltz was right out.

Previous vehicles:
Juniper
Thaddeus Kahoutek (a Comet, named for a comet)
Star
Jenny
Brunhilde
Lamont (after Lamont Cranston, it was a Shadow) a.k.a "Shitbox from Hell"
Arnold.

short bus is the running joke. My friends are a little slow...

My girlfriend calls it Butch because she says it is a masculine shade of yellow.

I hunt, trap and fish,ALOT! So Death truck fits
To you anti's

Wheezy.

Scar...like the Predator...same color and a big O gash in the front.

Hubby started called her "the bee" and it stuck.

lately folks at work have been callin' it the "South-African Taxi". I kinda' like it..

Coincidentally, here's a real one ..

Those in the know refer to the 05-06 Xterras as ''Chunky Monkies."

I call mine the "Hippo," however, because somewhere or other I read that Night Armor was originally called Hippo Gray in Japan.

Eerie man.... You making an annual thing out of this, Chuck? Just giving you crap.


I just say I'm taking the "truck," or sometimes we call it the "Short Bus"

Almost to the day! Maybe next August I will forget again that I already responded and do it again!

I work in IT, and a coworker of mine came up with this one day:

"x like extreme, and terra, like a lot of data...it's the extreme lot of data truck!!"

I call mine

"the black one"
"the blue one"
and
"the green one"

Blue

She's been called "SEX-TERRA" because of the old SEXC stickers I still proudly wear. Funny how many have that tag.
I caller 'Silver' or sometimes 'The Raider'.
She also goes by 'The Truck' or 'The Rig'.
A more affectionate name my wife calls her is 'The Money Pit'

The Sexy XE

"Mine" ('05) and "Yours" or "Hers" ('06)

XZILLA...Says so right on my license plate.

I usually call mine the XXXterra when I'm joking around with friends

With a Moose on opening day. Another dead animal for the Death truck. Now how many ducks can I stuff in this thing

Mine is called "Rockaholic" or "the Green Monster."

Once I started using Rockaholic as a screenname, everyone started calling me that.

same here, my truck is steelX, not me.

That is awesome!!! I'm in Anchorage, too. I bought a Granite '05 S 4x4 a week and a half ago. I LOVE IT! How're you liking yours? I'm diggin' the name you gave yours. Haven't thought to name mine yet, but the person who named theirs "Peter Fitzwell" has had me laughing for the past 20 minutes!!! How flippin' smart is that!?!?!?

Okay, guess I'll go with "SKIP", cuz "Skipper di Fango" is Italian for Mud Skipper

One more X owner from Alaska in here and we'll have to start a club

one of the guys that used to hang out with us in the XTC-HI forum just moved to Alaska.. Has a 2nd Gen.. Might be a start..

AK XTERRA....I know! I was disappointed there WASN'T one!!! Since buying mine, I have had the "look there's another one" syndrome. My friend Bryan says to do the 'what's up' wave to other Xterra drivers. I tried it twice and either it's an untruth that you all do that, or the people in AK, but.....let's just say I gave that one up.

I used to have a Jeep Wrangler and we all waved to eachother all the time. Miss that. So, if you see someone driving towards you in a Granite X, and they've got their hand up.....WAVE BACK!!! (unless there's a chance they're just swatting a mosquito!!!!!)

How about this rain? There's a huge mud pit on the Old Seward past Huffman (near a strip mall) It's where I broke my X's cherry!!!
