You know you own a Patrol when:

Every time your wife orders a new piece of furniture for the house, you use it as an excuse to add another Craigslist Patrol to the driveway...

(Sorry to you ladies... No offense intended :mrgreen: )



Or,

You know you own a Patrol when:

Burning your entire Saturday to drive 650 miles, covering 3 states (and back) to pick up a barely running, heavily modified deathtrap sounds like a perfectly reasonable and logical use of your entire day (and evening) off.

The guy from the infinite dealership drops off your wife's new JX and spends more time talking to you about how he has only heard of them and has never seen one in person

You know you own a patrol when the only one you've ever seen in person is your own.

When you wreck your 2006 Nissan Titan and you thank your lucky stars you weren't in the Patrol. Second thought that entered my mind.

You're sitting in the left hand turn lane and oncoming traffic slows down to see what in the hell that thing is :o
Everyone: You paid how much? For what? In '63 those were Datsuns, not Nissans, you read it wrong. Patrol? Never heard of it.
Me: Check it out ... (open garage door)
Everyone: SH*T!!!
Me and My Daughter: ;)

You pull up to the auto parts store and they lock the doors and turn the sign around because they are tired of matching up parts for you :D

You know you own a Patrol when you have half an hour of daylight left, so you decide to drop the fuel tank for inspection and cleaning. Two hours later you emerge from the night - scratched and filthy - fuel tank in hand, with a smile on your face because ONE of the four mounting bolts DIDN'T snap off in the chassis. :roll:

cheers,
