Message	on my Xterra - after selling my Frontier and buying my Defender. I realized that there was no amount of modification or aftermarket support that could give a car the same feeling as a factory built car like the Cayman. I've put the acquisition of one on the back burner for now (five cars is too many as it is) but eventually I'll pick one up. 1993 Ultra Red Z32 TT Convertible 2011 Electric Blue D40 1997 Cobalt Green S14 (project fun 2.0) The Z Car Club of Northern Virginia "boobies have power" - Bernie(NoVA)
