[gallery link="file" ids="2273,2274,2275,2276,2277"] Overview: This week I found myself in North Carolina to test-drive the Nissan Armada SE 4X4 SUV. Ok, so I would also be carrying 4 sets of golf clubs to Pinehurst – site of the 2005 US Open. And yes Richard, we had to play #2 even though it...

[gallery link="file" ids="2267,2268,2269,2270"] Overview: This week I went to the GM roll out of their 2006 line of cars in this 2005 Nissan 350Z. How could it get any better you ask. Well, the Corvette Z06 is a good way to start, but you know what – this Z is really cool....

[gallery link="file" ids="2262,2263,2264"] Overview: This week I continued with another Nissan product, the Altima SER 4-door sedan. I took a trip to Lake Tahoe, California and actually Nevada too. I love mountain driving and hadn't had the opportunity to give it the Crest Test over the San Gabriel mountain chain in Southern...

[gallery link="file" ids="2254,2255,2256,2257,2258,2259"] Overview: There are only a few pickup trucks left in my series but I can't get this 2005 Nissan Titan 4X4 SE Crew Cab out of my mind as being one of the best. What a cool truck. I particularly liked the great visibility and unique mirror system that...

[gallery link="file" ids="2244,2245,2246,2247,2248,2249,2250,2251"] Overview: This week I drove the wonderful 2004 Nissan 350 Z Roadster. For those who own one, I'm preaching to the choir. You know how great this car is. I happen to love the Porsche Boxster, but this is a hands down winner, especially for the dough. Love is, in...

[gallery link="file" ids="6790,2241,2238,2239,2240"] Overview: This week I tested the 2004 Nissan Titan full size ½ ton pickup with a crew cab that has to be the biggest of any make on the market. In fact it almost looks like the bed was an afterthought and is really esthetically out of balance. Looks like...

The first Quest minivan was introduced in 1993 as a joint venture with Ford Motor Company that also produced the Mercury Villager. A second-generation Quest was sold from 1999 to 2002. The 2004 Quest is an...

Overview: This week I tested the 2003 Nissan Frontier 4WD SC V6 Supercharged Crew Cab Pickup. Boy that's a mouthful, but it is a lot of truck made especially for the kind of trip I made into Mexico. The venture gives meaning to “Off Road”. But that is where the poor of...

Overview: This week I tested the all-new 2003 Nissan Murano SE 2 WD. But they are also available in an AWD (All wheel drive) version. But don't buy it for its off road prowess. There is no low gear for serious off road use. I like its quick steering and generally this...

Overview: This week's ride promises to be a huge success for Nissan in the form of the newly designed “Z”, the 350 Z – and it is wonderful. Trust me, if you are a sports car nut, you have to go test drive one. The reason I like it so much is...
