xfactor78 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 hey guys, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Brendan and currently am a highschool student going into grade 12 starting September. I've been interested in cars for a couple years now, unfortunately none of my friends are into cars/trucks. I guess you can say that I've had phases in what I was interested in. I started actually reading up on cars a couple years ago when I saw an STI that caught my eye in front of my house. So I started researching those, and from there I started reading about G35s as my mom was looking into them, and then from there here I am now researching about R50s. My uncle has a 1999 Pathfinder LE in which I will be inheriting. The Pathfinder was stolen two years ago around October. The insurance company was ready to make an offer for $14,500. They called but my mom didn't pick up so they left a message. The following day my mom called and they found it, I guess you can say it was both good and bad. Anyways they found it a ways away with the windows down and the interior had been soaked. We were planning on selling it again but can't get rid of it. So my uncle said that I can keep it for my first call. I told him I would gladly take it, but in Canada our "Learning Drivers" stage consists of an L and an N stage. For the L stage you can't drive without a parent beside you, so it's no biggie. I get my N in December so once I get that then the Pathy is mine! My plans are: -2" AC Lift -31" AT Tires -2" Class III Hitch -Warn Hubs -Magnaflow Exhaust System Anyways, thanks for reading my novel I can't wait to get my hands on the pathy and take it off-roading! Thanks, Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfactor78 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Us highschoolers aren't all dumb... Welcome man! Post up some pics when you get the chance Parents don't pay for private school for no reason I guess haha. Thanks for the welcome. The Pathy is in my uncles garage right now sitting and un-insured. He's out of the country for probably 10.5/12months so thats why I'm getting it as well. But he's back in a few weeks and since he's been gone I heavily got bitten by the detailing bug. So when he's back I'll get him to bring it over and I'll detail it so it's ready to be stored. I'll get some new pictures then, but in the meanwhile here are some pictures from a year and a half ago.

Precise1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry to hear about the theft. It seems like the ins should pay for it, but I don't know the particulars... Sounds like you have a good plan to make it as good as Pezzy's car. Whoa... a teenager who can write in full sentences?? OMGWTFBBQ!!? Parents don't pay for private school for no reason I guess haha. I doubt that was the only motivator, but hey, it didn't hurt!! You can easily make that into a cool dual purpose daily driver. Good luck and let us know how we can help. Welcome BTW...

B Thanks, I look at the theft in two ways though. A. We're stuck with the car and couldn't sell it for $9000 when they offered us $14,500 B. I get a freaking sick truck! Anyways, I need the truck primarily for hauling this up to Whistler and to the mountains in the summer! ... before I get called a brat, I actually paid every penny for this bike.
