My Chevy failed inspection yesterday and was going to cost over a grand to get it passed. The wife said I should just get a new one. Bummer. It's a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab LE, like the one in the picture, only midnight blue like the car to the right, with a spray-on bed liner and tow package. It is LOADED. Only thing I could have added was a sun roof and upgraded stereo. Plus, it's a 6 cylinder and not quite the gas guzzler my Chevy was. Dang wives force you to do the most horrible things! Funny thing, I was kinda attached to the old one.I think I'll get over it.

No upgraded stereo? Are you crazy? I guess you can upgrade later to an aftermarket system if you need to... Actually I don't have the nicest package in my Jeep either, but it's still pretty nice (it has an indash 6-disc mp3, but no amplifier or sub).

aftermarket tow pkg. = 300 Nissan = 450 Identical setup. Besides, my old truck had am/fm and that's it. Bare bones. But you're right. When I get the cash, I'm gonna fill it out! LOL

Tinted windows for those long hot summer drives. Not too expensive either. After I tinted the windows in the new car the temperature difference was amazing. That's the first thing I'll do on any car I own from now on out. :)

It's that little sticker that they have in Texas that expires and I get pulled over for having one 3 months out of date.

Do they come with standard gun racks in the back window in Texas?

I feel ya being attached to a car. It's silly, but I totally understand. And I got a blue car, too. HA!

Funny...as my car just failed it's safety inspection yesterday as well. 2000 Chrysler Concorde with about 95k on it. Fortunately not an expensive fix - needs new muffler and bushings on the front. Wouldn't mind a new ride as well...but with this one paid off, gotta make it last.

Long Bed. Won't carry as much as full size, but carries enough. I may just have to pull the trailer more.
