psh, put an airbag wheel back in it. Heck, maybe I'll trade you wheels. Or go get one from Strictly German. Get some seats for me while you're there.

Ti seats fold down and provide an even nicer space for a dog than the sedan, you could put a rubber mat down and let him run around.

Baby seat (really? You better move back to roanoke too :wink: ) fits fine, it actually works pretty well. Forward facing. I must be honest, a rear facing infant seat would suck getting in and out of there, I imagine similar issues as we had with the mini... and you notice we sold that. But whatever, don't plan too far ahead for cars, just sell it to me in a... year? Two? Three? Tell us. :lol: :vomit:

airbags scare the hell out of me. i don't want to be installing it and get blasted in the face, and noting my past wrenching prowess that means i'd have to find someone to do it...bleh, just another thing to think about.

one wall i've been hitting is crash test data. no, i don't care that much, but the mrs. does, and its hard to say how these things do. we've come to the realization that the xterra will be the car we carry little people in down the road (its higher so its easier to load as well which Jen is big on) so the loading unloading aspect isn't so crucial here. but if she's out of town and i have to carry dogs/kids in the Ti it would be nice to know we'd do ok from a hit, especially in the rear where there's less metal.

i'm not that big on planning ahead but i'd like to settle on a platform for a bit. that's another reason i like the E36...there's so much you can do and so much room to grow.
