Dude. I'm getting teary-eyed watching the progress. I'm looking at some 94-95's maybe I'll be back in the game soon enough.

Looks really good actually.

That snorkle is pretty cool. I wonder if it restricts air in the bends of the pipe. Anybody have one of these?

Yeah your trucks looking pretty good. You didn't have the snorkel did you? Only 1500 manuals, only offered in 2003... it was quite a treasure hunt finding one close and in tip-top shape. It wasn't even that close Carmax had to transport it up from one of their stores in SC. Thank you. The color is the best thing about it I actually just got the windows tinted on Tuesday, and I changed out all the interior bulbs to LED yesterday. I'm buying a factory integration kit for my iPod right now and then I'm putting my roof rack on next week so I'm ready for opening weekend. It's progressing real quick. Springs will be on by the end of the month. I wish I had money back when I had the Pathfinder lol.

I was actually looking at that model CL back before I got the hatchback, but the manual transmission only came on the low-end CL. They look a little odd in the back too but once you get over that they are a great car. Yup. It's a great company to work for I'm transferring up to the Boone location when I move away for school. What shirt are you wearing? Red? What's up 88? I'm real interested in seeing a picture of your rig. You always come up with the best mods let's see what it looks like now.

Yeah that'd be pretty cool. Are you talking about the apartments at UVillage? Oh, and I got a CL- there's a picture in the first post.

Aww I would but I think I just dumped a ton of money into buying a car that no 19-year-old in his right mind should have lol. As Casey mentioned it would make an excellent board truck... but I've got heated seats! I see you partially took my idea of turning the '87 into a Panda by switching on my black doors except you put just the gas flap on lol. Yeah the cops around here sometimes get a little too hyped up over busting a party... which reminds me your old neighbor (actually probably different people, but same house) threw down big a few weeks ago it's a shame you aren't still around

Nuh-uh. I have a new email and I think on my profile it's still my old address... changing it right now.

Damn Casey you're up to 3 Pathfinders? Somebody's religious lol

I should go ahead and do that now before I lower it lol. The things got about 4 inches of clearance between the tire and wheelwell (more than my old Pathfinder) lol... Anything Honda with a V6 is a 4x4 when it comes to ride height. Thanks! Work hard, party hard, but only after studying hard is my motto. Does Jim even own his two Pathfinders anymore? Hey why don't you veterens that I know post some current pictures of your Pathy so I can see the progress. Surprise me, guys!

Hey I guess a bunch of you don't know me I kind of stopped posting after my Pathfinder and I were rear-ended a couple years back now. Just checking in whos all left? 88path, Pezzy, RedPath88, UNCC, vengeful, skrilla... long time no see. Is MaritimeMan around these days? How has Mr Jim been? Let's see I have since graduated from high school, about to finish an Associates degree in Arts at the local community college then transfer to Appalachian State next fall. I'm pretty excited about that because I have gotten big into snowboarding as of last winter and the slopes aren't too far from the school. Also crammed into the last couple years was the excitement of getting my first apartment and financing my first widescreen and furniture (which is still being paid off lol), which after 8 months I got kicked out for throwing an underage party. Let's see, I'm still delivering chinese food and I kept the license plate EGGROL4U on my Civic for about a year. I have also gotten a job at a full service carwash and have made it up to a manager position which is pretty cool I don't have to throw out 1's at the strip club anymore I can throw out complimentary carwashes lol... jk, haven't made it to a strip club yet that would be a little awkward telling the lady friend. Anyways, it took awhile to find a car I liked after losing the Pathfinder. I went through a '94 Accord, a '92 Civic, a '01 Accord, and a '96 Civic hatch. The latter two weren't bad but I didn't like the 4 doors on the Accord or how slow the Civic was. That Civic looked pretty cool it was silver, lowered with SI wheels and JDM headlights and the roof rack looked pretty sweet on it. I just got tired of having to apologize to my passengers for having a loud and bumpy car so I got a new one! It's a 2003 Acura CL Type-S with a 6-speed. It took me so long to find this car they only made 1500 six-speeders and only 296 in this color. It's nice because this is the first car I've gotten excited about since the Pathfinder, the only difference is this time I have money to spend on it. Let me know what you guys think and tell me what's new around here!

Got it. Good to see you guys again...

Me too. I have a pretty sturdy grip so that's what I did. I have a couple of burn scars from the exhaust manifolds too.

Luker, it sounds like a song about a bus or something. The 'American Pride' part gives it away.

The Cranberries - An Ode to My Family... brings back memories.

Local God by Everclear is a damn good song. But that can't be your #1 song... Romeo and Juliet came out in what, 97?

Thanks for the props.

Don't get too thrilled about gas mileage. Don't you know how it takes 100 miles to get down to 3/4 full but then 20 miles to get from 1/4 to empty? It's like that in any car it seems. I wrecked mine a couple months ago and am getting all nostalgic. You'll have fun with it.

Heaven Is A Place On Earth - Belinda Carlisle I was so disappointed that I tried to find my life's theme song instead (Number 1 song on your 18th birthday) and got goddam Kanye West - Gold Digger. Bastards.

Goo Goo Dolls - Long Way Down

GM will never go away. The US government would never let it happen. So unless WW3 comes around and it's US vs. the world... then you'll always have GM. So you can go suck an egg Vengeful, because GM won't. And besides, I feel GM quality has improved drastically since Mr. Lutz joined the team. Maybe I don't own more than one GM, but the interior fit and finish on new Suburbans is really nice compared to our old one (which I never found to be worse than the Pathfinders). And I sat in that Saturn Sky and must say I'm quite impressed. I guess it's time for the backlash... this is what I get for joining a Nissan board you biased people. (I'm only half serious, so please no hard feelings)

People called mine a Jeep, but I think they were simply using Jeep as a substitute for the phrase '4x4 SUV thing'. Does anybody else find the backs of the new Grand Cherokees to be similar to the WD21s? The angled, flat back windshield seems really reminiscent... I like them a lot.

While ripping all my CDs onto my new laptop, I decide to read through this entire thread and found it funny how SC88Pathy said Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Rascal King twice and then I came along and said the exact same thing (wihtout reading through previous pages). SC, I'm not a huge ska fan... just Bosstones and Sublime as for that genre. Okay, now that I've said something nobody cares about, let's say some more. Pezzy, 'Rockin' the Suburbs' was done by Ben Folds in 2001 I think. Ben Folds Five broke up before that and 'Rockin' the Suburbs' is currently Ben's best-known song from his solo career, although I like 'Landed' and 'Fred Jones Part 2' better. Oh. And whoever was listening to RHCP - Slow Cheetah... damn good CD, isn't it? Tell Me Baby is an amazing work of art.

You used 150 grit?! Damn. It's almost as if you were painting with bedliner...
