big difference - my new toy
« on: March 27, 2006, 10:25:49 pm »
My first car was the car i could afford. My second car (which i bought today) was the one i wanted =)

So i went from this...

2001 Kia Rio RS - Power nothing



To this...

2002 Nissan Xterra SE - Power everything



I don't even have it yet.. but i knew enough to take pictures of it during the test drive =)
I got your "jeep thing"... now it burns when i pee!

Cool..congrats.
More importantly..did the dog smile the first time in the new truck? Sure didn't seem to like the Rio  ;D

Looks amazing in black with those dark 4 spoked wheels. Must feel like a big difference. Enjoy!

Congrats on your SUV Kelli. I see we have a salt and pepper theme in the driveway. I wonder who will get most of the attention.

Congrats Kelli!  Looks awesome! My wife and I considered replacing her Civic with an Xterra or Xtrail... but in the end decided it was too much moolah.  Nice truck!

I'm not so sure...take a look at #7 in this tongue-in-cheek survey from the "other" Cartalk.  ;D

Woohoo I own the #1 gay car!  :rofl:

I always thought of the Jetta as being more of single chick car than a gay car... but whatever, I like it!  ;D

Well, if they say so.  And it looks like you will need that rainbow sticker after all.   :rofl2:

Want to trade?  ;)

My big question is - was the Rio as bad as everyone thinks they are?  How reliable was it?
