For a long while now, Ive made a side gig out of buying cheap xterras with blown motors, having new-ish motors (okay running motors) put in, driving them as a commuter for a while and fixing stuff as I go, before selling them and starting over. Cleaning them out, hitting junkyards to get the parts they are missing, etc. honestly, its a lot of fun for me. Hunting them down, learning their history, and putting them back on the road. I've almost always had an Xterra daily doing it that way. I absolutely love the first gen Xterras (and have since they debuted) and know my way around these underpowered little shiats pretty well. Sadly motor swap prices are now to the the point I cant really make any money (or enough to make it worth it) flipping dead Xterras anymore. This is likely my last flipper one which kinda sucks.

And a guy at work made a stupid offer for the orange X so he is likely to be its next owner.

I am kinda digging the white tho. Like a lot. Maybe this one will hang around a bit.
Everything is getting so damn expensive that it's hard to make money doing anything at this point.

King George > Garth

BUT

Id like to hear Thunder Rolls live. Hope he is great!

Edit: If drunk, I can do friends in low places EXACTLY like him.

if he were me, with no singing talent
Would love to see George in concert eventually. So far we've gotten to see Clay Walker and Tracy Lawrence, saw Alabama before Jeff died which was great, and now Garth Brooks.

Gonna keep ticking them off the list as we can.

Well that makes me sad.. I worked at the Conoco (used to be highest gas prices in town lol ) at the end of the block and ate many a meal here. The Campus lounge across the street used to have a bomb breakfast burrito. I heard the owner Jim Wiste ( played in the NHL and for DU ) passed and not sure what it's like now. Was a pretty cool neighborhood I couldn't afford to live in :) . Have you seen the Phipps mansion?
Have not seen the Phipps mansion. Going to have the kid show me next trip up.
