    No. Traded it in for the current 4R, which funny enough has been on the same road.

    You're allowed to have Virginia plates because you're active duty Coast Guard, correct? I seem to remember you saying you lived in Cali?

    Yep! It’s fucked up. VA registered vehicle. Washington state residence address. CA mailing address and a bike registered in CA.

    One of my coworkers drives a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer; just a base model FWD model...

    He specifically sought out a 5-speed manual version because Shitsubishi automatic transmissions suck!

    I actually kinda liked that; My dad was in the Navy for 25 years; He was able to keep our vehicles registered in Pennsylvania when we moved back to California in the late 1990s, thus avoiding smog testing!

    Mitsubishi has sunk so low that its American dealerships have become little more than glorified Buy Here Pay Here lots who will finance anybody with a job...

    Nissan has not sunk quite that low, but one thing I've noticed about one local dealer (O'Neil Nissan in Warminster, PA) is that they have such an overstock of new inventory that they have been forced to use the shopping center across the street as an overflow lot! My best friend's parents bought a brand new 2018 Nissan Rogue SV AWD Midnight Edition there, in the summer of 2019! This Rogue was sitting on the lot for close to a year, if not longer! If the Rogue is really the hot-selling vehicle Nissan claims it is, then why the hell are new ones sitting on the lot for a year or more?

    The Fred Beans Family of Dealerships, which has most of its dealers in Doylestown, is also resorting to storing excess inventory in shopping center parking lots; In the case of Beans, they've started storing vehicles in the parking lot of a recently-closed K-Mart.

    I remember that in early 2014, Fred Beans Mitsubishi still had brand new unsold 2012 Galant sedans on the lot!

    I've heard through various news outlets and online sources that Nissan is currently in trouble, and it would appear that their dealers are starting to suffer!

    This specific variant of the Nissan Hardbody pickup will forever be one of my favorite Nissan vehicles of all time! I had a model of this truck when I was a kid!

    I wish I took more pictures of my previous 1988 Nissan 4X4 V-6 King cab that I owned since new for 18 years. :( ... What a great truck that was.

    And then there was the early 1990s Sentra SE-R, which was a performance bargain in its day!

    The 1986 Nissan pickups and 1987-1995 Pathfinders were some the most beautiful trucks of all time!
