: Road Trip!
xterra1982 03-17-2006, 09:41 AM Alright, so I just got my '03 X on Tuesday, and tonight I'm leaving straight from work to go to Monroe Louisiana for a concert (about a hundred miles away) anybody have any idea on what kind of gas mileage I can expect to find? I just traded in a Pontiac Sunfire that got ridiculously good mileage.. not expecting that with my newfound love but it would be nice for it not to suck :)
27k on the truck, by the way.
supercharged 03-17-2006, 09:58 AM Maybe we should start a contest..........If you have automatic trans, I'm gonna say 16-18 mpg with two persons and cargo...............

Ricer-X 03-17-2006, 10:05 AM by myself with audio that ways more than anyone's luggage, i get just over 20mpg now
xterra1982 03-17-2006, 10:34 AM Gotta say, I like these answers!
Thanks!
supercharged 03-17-2006, 01:35 PM Hey 82', the father in me wants you to think about what you have forgotten to put in the vehicle for concert.......are you staying the night?
camera, cash,umbrella, weapons, extra contact lenses, prescriptions, oh and is your dog going to eat the same food that she is used to? sometimes they get upset....hope I have jogged something for you. :rolleyes:

Since my own father is about 14 hours away, it was a welcomed questionaire, so thank you :)
Yes, staying the night. Hotel has been booked for a week.
1 Camera in overnight bag.
Cash in wallet, along with debit and emergency credit cards.
No Umbrella.. I won't melt.. not sweet enough ;)
1 glock under my seat... and my own registered fists (black belt in Tang Soo Do)
No contacts, no prescriptions.
Dog has an overnight bag almost as large as my own for the friend good enough to care for her this evening.

punkin IS cute. now I wish I'd of gotten punkin...
:)
supercharged 03-17-2006, 02:10 PM It's pretty rare around here. but the granite, lets just say If I decided to rob banks I would drive mine right up to the fire lane........The only trouble would be when I came out, I would look for the safari rack
mtxterra 03-17-2006, 02:16 PM safari rack yes just got mine the other day
supercharged 03-17-2006, 02:18 PM What brand......lights in the future
mtxterra 03-17-2006, 02:20 PM i got the yakima one for xterra parts to bolt on to my factory rack and i was thinking about adding two lights the shine backwards just for the hell of it
already have 6 lights in the front

There aren't very many Xterras in Shreveport/Bossier City.... at least not that I've seen..
Ricer-X 03-17-2006, 02:23 PM lol!

xterra1982 03-17-2006, 02:26 PM canteen? thats the sexiest color the X comes in! i should know, mine's canteen:D
Yay for sexy Xterras! woot woot
supercharged 03-17-2006, 02:29 PM You're kidding...when I was frustrated with the market here, I searched online and there was a lot in La, I'd be scared now what with the flooding etc.
MTX I have some lights that are behind the air dam, but I cock them all the way to the side, been wanting to rig some straight to the side

I'd be scared of anything that says it came from lower LA... we've gotten some auction cars here at our lot for our used car lots that have flood damage that people hid from our guys and then when we got it in here to do the inspection on it found alot of damage.
I did extensive research on mine before I bought it. it's never been anywhere near New Orleans :)
supercharged 03-17-2006, 02:59 PM Have a nice weekend, and we will look for pics on monday :D
taylor 03-17-2006, 03:44 PM What Concert?
xterra1982 03-18-2006, 05:24 PM What Concert?
Allison Kraus and Union Station....
and they were amazing. :)
btw - the X got about 18mpg on the trip, so who's the winner of the contest?!?
supercharged 03-18-2006, 05:38 PM Welcome back :)
I think 18mpg was my high end and boofs low end, I guess well flip for the winner :rolleyes:
Muzikman 03-18-2006, 07:13 PM and my own registered fists (black belt in Tang Soo Do)
Cool, I made it to red in Tang Soo Do.
taylor 03-18-2006, 09:11 PM I know this is an Xterra Website, but does anyone have any pics of any concerts they saw. I saw Pearl Jam in Sept of last year and George Jones back in Nov. Here's PJ.
taylor 03-18-2006, 09:17 PM Some good ol' No Show Jones who actually showed. Don't think he owns an Xterra though. :D
Muzikman 03-18-2006, 09:27 PM No one I am sure you guys have heard of, but here are some concert shots.

That was about average. I have an 05 though, different engine.
xterra1982 03-19-2006, 08:43 AM Cool, I made it to red in Tang Soo Do.
That's excellent. Finally someone who knows what Tang Soo Do is.. I usually have to explain.. "well, it's the real Koreon cousin of the american bastardized Tae Kwon Do"
meh.
