So I have 2 stories behind my two vehicles I have owned. Just how I ended up owning then because of the previous owners. Not all of us will have a story (if you don't know or you bought it new) lol but I'm interested to hear some.
On my jeep: I found it on craigslist and drove to a small town right across the mississippi river. The guy was a first responder for the fire department. With the jeep being a manual 4cy with 33's it didn't accelerate quickly or have a good top speed (75mph). They guys wife was also expecting another kid, he said he wouldn't have room for 2 kids and his fire gear in the jeep and it didn't get him to calls quick enough. He owned it for 3 months and said he had done no mods to it just put gas in and drove. The day before I bought it he responded to a car wreck, he said this women's feet had been cut off in the collision and he had to cut her out. Needless to say there was some blood on the seat covers so my first stop was walmart where i purchased new seat covers. After making the purchase I later found out it had 11 owners...yes 11! The floor was caked with mud and the top was falling apart. I put a lot of work into that thing, and I mean a lot! I loved driving the thing it was my very first car at 16! I was sad to see it go but made a promise what ever I got next would be 4x4...hahaha not! The guy who owns it now is also a first responder for the EMS not to far from me, I have people tell me all the time they think its me when Ive owned my xterra since April.
On my xterra: The story isn't as long which is a good thing cause it wasn't abused.
I was going to nashville to buy a red 2000 4x4 5speed xterra...on the 45 minute drive to nashville the dealer took it to auction!! And I called to tell them I was on my way to get the X!! Within the time of them selling the red on and me driving to nashville they got my blue X. The xterra had 2 owners and I made 3. The first owner owned it 10 years, I know nothing about them. The second owner was a foreign man from africa (I assume from looking at his name) They said he sold it because he was going back to his country for some reason. Thats about all I know on my Xterra
