Agreed wholeheartedly.

Bought the wife a '94 Nissan Pathfinder for a winter car. Has a few niggling issues. Things like electric door locks that lock themselves at the most inopportune times. Little stuff. Went looking for a Pathfinder list. There's gotta be one, they built these things for ten years... Nope. Oh there's a couple Yahoogroups alright, with about 200 members. Maybe one post a week. Usually looking for advise on installing 40" tires and the like.

gerry.vanagon.com and the knowledge-base we have here is unique.

Jim
