I was looking at the calendar and I realized that I am going to celebrate my 9 year anniversary to my Nissan Titan. It was in July of 2004, my Deep Water crew cab caught my eye. Over that time period, she has safely transported my three boys, gotten me home when I have had to much to drink, helped build a home, pull a 30 foot travel trailer to take us on vacation, pulled downed trees from Hurricane Sandy and pretty much anything I have asked of her. She even saved a utility trailer from certainly running through my neighbors house when I forgot to block the wheels by throwing herself in the way. So for all you newly weds I thought it would be good for us married old men to share what we know about our Nissan Titan.
First off like all women, she loves her shoes. I quickly realized this when she tore through her original Goodyear Wrangler's around 25,000 miles. This quickly resulted in the purchasing of a new set of Bridgestone's which she was done with in 30,000 miles. Then another set of Bridgestone's which unfortunately she is ready to get rid of.
Second she does not know when to stop. Yes I am the victim of the Big Brake Fix. Every couple of years she starts shaking like she is having a seizure. After having the big brake fix 3 times, she decided it was a good idea that she never sees her parents again (Nissan Dealership), because they blamed my overly aggressive driving as the cause. The upside is I can switch out pads and rotors faster than any NASCAR pit crew.
Third she uses up a lot of energy. This is a two prong thing, first the obvious one, she likes to eat gas, I don't know where she puts it or if someone is stealing my gas, but she likes it. Honestly, these guys who say they are getting above 14 MPG driving around town are either towing their Titan or just pushing it. Maybe they are stealing my gas. Second, she loves batteries, I have done every test, trick, etc. posted on this board, but she still wears out batteries, it does not matter if you buy an expensive one or an expense one she just needs a lot of juice to start in the morning. fortunately for me she alternates years between tires and batteries.
Fourth, she does not like to let her guard down. I don't know why but I am convinced the Japanese have decided to either hire gorillas to put certain bolts on this truck so you can never get them off or they put the cheapest bolts on that if you touch them an in some cases look at them they turn to dust and you will never get them off.
Finally, she loves to keep her windows down. I am on my third window regulator on the drivers door. I don't know why but when she feels like it she drops the drivers side window and doesn't care if she is freezing me out or cooking me alive. Again the upside is I can switch out window regulators faster than anyone here.
The only problem is now I am being temped by a young vixen named Tundra, however, like women there is a cost. Maybe I should just buy here a new set of shoes and she will be happy.
Tell me what you think.
