Mommy's "Beastly" Truck. ;)

Okay let me explain my obsession with Xterras. Ever since they debuted. I've been in love with their appearance. Something about the mean, ruggedness of the Xterra had me wanting one so badly. Well my dream came true in 2007 when my Husband and I decided to trade in my 2004 Honda Civic for something bigger and better. I fell in love with the Xterra even more when I test drove it for the first time. 261 HP had me giddy as ever. :) I finally let my husband drive it after a month of having it. Yeah, it took me awhile to trust him with my baby. He drove it and was like this is too much power for you. Hahaha...he just couldn't handle it, is what boiled down to it. He was used to driving a 4 cylinder Ford Focus at that time. 6 cylinder was too much for him. :) I have to give him a hard time with it every time he mentions how powerful the Xterra can be. He even still says it even though, he owns a 6 cylinder himself. His Cadillac CTS...which may be quick at first because it's light and can take off quick...but the Xterra blows away his Caddy. ;) Not even a year of owning the Xterra, I put the brushguard on it to make it even more meaner looking. I love the BEASTLY look. ;) Once I put it on though, it seemed everytime I went on the highway, people were moving over to the right lane if they saw me in the left lane. I don't ever tailgate people. I don't like getting tailgated myself. If I feel someone is going slower than me, I slow down and go around them. I put the brushguard on to protect my front end and also make it look tough. I do get a kick out of people who see me coming and just automatically get over. Here it is two years later and I love my Xterra even more everyday. This year we were going to see what the 2009 and 2010's had to offer, but I decided against it after realizing I would probably cry if I traded my 2007 one in. I've gone through so much in that truck already. It fits me too well. Plus, I've put so much work and love into it already. I don't want someone else enjoying it. I wouldn't mind getting a Off Road Xterra. Maybe next year, we'll see about looking at the 2010's again or maybe the 2011's. Here is one thing that got me loving my Truck even more. We went to Nissan and they were sold out of Xterras. I have a Popular truck and believe me I definitely don't want to trade it in now. :) I love my "Beast". It definitely has treated me and my family very well in the last two years. It's made a trip to Virginia, New York, Maryland, and Florida. Which for a early birthday present for me and a late birthday present for my truck...I'm getting it brand new tires. ;) Yes, I'm weird...I love getting myself birthday presents for myself and especially when it comes to my vehicle. ;) Let's just say I bought a sound system for my Civic for Xmas time the first year I had it. That's the next agenda for my Truck...I want a Bose Sound System put in it. ;) But the Next thing that needs to be done is a new windshield because the windshield got cracked a week ago. I have a curse of cracked windshields, I guess...especially where I live now. Blah! I love my Truck, though, so I don't mind spoiling it. ;) So here's to the BEST Vehicle I've ever owned...My Beastly Xterra nicknamed "The Beast".
