I don't have quite the backstory of BMills and his assfinder, but that black 90 is a carbon copy of my first car. Stick, all black, mine had a spoiler, which on a pathfinder was the most pointless factory addition in the history of vehicles.Quote:

That black one above has been wrecked from behind. The SE badging is in the wrong side of the tailgate and is missing the same.
I like to think that all the Pathfinders in Reno got here by being hocked at the pawn shops by degenerate gamblers desperate for just one more pull... One more roll of the dice... One more card.
Hit me!
Degens from upcountry no doubt.
Spotted in North Bend, WA yesterday. I almost left a note on the windshield for ya, BMills.

I laughed at what that note would look like.
"Hi, nice Pathfinder, if you're interesting in selling it, please log onto tetongravity.com/forums, register an account (if the server closet fan is working that day), proceed to the "Padded Room" sub-forum, scroll past the NSFW stuff, World is Burning discussions, Wagon Stoke, and everything else and find a thread titled The quest for Bmillsskier's Pathfinder" (don't bother using search function). There you can find a guy named Bmillsskier and you can read up on his quest, or just make him an offer. Either way, you must mention "Change for a nickle" if you want the people in there to know you're cool. Good luck."
Well for starters, I wouldn't have misspelled nickel.
I was going to say, that looks like an XE (which was my model) due to the rims (which it also only has three of). Definitely a wreck with a replaced tailgate.Quote:

This thread is making me jones for one also. I loved that car, and it was basically indestructible. My Dad bought it new in 92, and literally changed the oil once every 50k miles. By the time it ended up being mine, the car had 175k and still ran like a champ, although it ended up rusting out pretty quickly on me. As a 16 year old I beat the shit out of it also and it just kept trucking. I even took it to New England Dragway and ran nitrous on it once after my buddy was to scared to run it on his miata. Run what ya brung!

And the Craigslist ad from whence it came:

I dunno... maybe nostalgia has me here, but I'd buy that for $6k. That thing looks sweet!Quote:

"it’s pretty difficult to figure out who exactly is to blame for what’s become of the current generation Nissan Pathfinder"
Yes, it is.
and
"The ad says that this is just one of the owner’s Pathfinders"
This is the real scoop in there. What else ya got there chief?
saw this in my mom’s neighborhood today.
Thought of BMills

It can be driven a short distance but must be towed or put on a trailer."Quote:

Hey, for $400...
RUNS GREAT, not drives great :rolleyes2
I like that he included a picture of the amp. Won't go more than a mile, but feel that bass thump!
And a clean title (theoretically)Quote:

Here's some more Assfinders:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto...225819859.html
I actually like the patina on that tan one.
Love the "Serious buyer only" for the second one from TJ.
Is it personal preference for style for a Pathfinder over an Xterra? Is there much difference between the two vehicles?
The name assfinder has a certain je ne sais quoi that assterra just can't touch.Quote:

Well hello there...
I've been seeing these all over now, probably 5 of various generations are in my neighborhood based on walks this year.
I was swimming in the sound a few days ago and saw a pathfinder pull up in the other side of some train tracks. "Wait, is that a pathfinder over there?"
Gf: "what is wrong with you?"
Ha! Your eyes have been opened.
I’m still pissed about the one in Seattle from early in the pandemic. Thing was exactly what I wanted and in hindsight should have just said fuck it and paid their ridiculous price.
When I met your special lady friends, they noticed the red rig and I inadvertantly used the term assfinder. They didn't flinch or even comment on the term.
But I did feel a ripple in the universe.
Ha! I received a late night message that said “your fellow Pathfinder loving friend was a solid hookup, beyond generous”
I’m not surprised you felt a disturbance in the force at the mention of the Assfinder. The blonder of the two was charged with watching the Assfinder for me when I left to ski bumps at Mt Hood for a few weeks one summer and I came back to find her sunburnt and with an exploded 12 pack’s worth of Coca-Cola sprayed all over the headliner. That was a wild summer.
I get at least one of these a week

Whoah is that the holy grail?
Wheels are lame but can be replaced with oem and chrome bumpers/mirrors and nerf guards if all else checks out. TkxQuote:
