New X90 Guy / Long Island, NY
« on: October 18, 2009, 08:42:54 AM »
It's not even official yet... supposed to arrive at 6:30 PM. It's a 1996 x90 4x4 w/ automatic trans.

Little about myself: I've been a motorhead since the age of twelve when I hose clamped a washing machine pulley to the spokes of bicycle and connected it to a 2 hp Briggs and Staton lawn motor engine w/ a fan belt. That was 40 years  and probably 60 vehicles ago.

This newest purchase will join my 1972 MGB, 1978 MG Midget, 1991 Mercury Capri, 1999 Ford Ranger and 2006 Suzuki Aerio AWD SX, in the driveway.

Looking forward to tapping into the collective knownlege of this forum and share our experinces w/ this you all.

Do you plan to off road it or keep it in stock form?

Right now I don't have any "plan" other than registering it and sorting out needs prior to the first snow fall. I'm hoping that Eileen (wife) takes an interest in it and drives it on occasion. She loves her Aerio but I have lots of problems w/ it's ground clearance issues. I don't see me doing the the rock crawling stuff but would not mind having it ready/able to take out on a beach.

Check out www.generationx90.com for a few ideas. The potential for the X90 is the same as a Sidekick. You can  exceed the other cars you have in usage.
