Greetings all -

Just introducing myself and hoping to learn a lot here. I ordered my Nitro about 2 weeks ago (and told should be in before Christmas - I hope!). Am not the kind of guy who is really car savvy, actually more of a geek, I guess, always focussing on safety, so car of choice has been a Subaru - until I saw the Nitro! Never have I said, "GOTTA HAVE IT!" up to that day. So, ordered an SLT, black (almost went with the orange!) with moonroof, UConnect and full sized spare. Wanted the 20" but was told that could take months, and the R/T would be available maybe by February or March - so at the age of 42, figured I could go without the 20" and just enjoy myself with the 17" - and besides, as a priest, can't look too hip!

Anyway, thought I would say HI, and looking forward to connecting!

Peace,
Rich

Congrats on the purchase! I would die if I had to wait that long! You can always add 20" wheels aftermarket or from the dealer when they come out..Who says a priest cant look hip? you will be driving a nitro

Welcome to the forum!

Hey, NitroWill - thanks! The dealer dissuaded me from aftermarket 20's saying that it would strain the suspension....as you can see, not too car savvy here!

Welcome! Happy to have you!
I would agree that God is hip and Priests should be hip as well. And because it is written that the very cool Priests must drive hip cars, you have no choice in the matter. It is your destiny!

haha thats suppose to read PIMP but in a cool way

in other word it would increase the cars cool points a bunch

Ive seen a pair of the 20" wheels on ebay - but they are EXTREMELY over priced..(And not selling)

thanks again for the welcome from all of you....have to admit, it is hard to sit tight for this vehicle (I have always bought off the lot!)...and checking out the threads has really whetted my appetite! AH -for a miracle (AKA a quick delivery!)! And for the smiley-philes:

Peace,

Hi Chitownwer,
I really hope you get yours by Christmas! That would mean that I may have mine by then as well. I ordered on11-02 and was told 8-12 weeks. That would put me into January. I called the customer service line and they said the same. There is a way to find out where your nitro is on the assembly line. Haven't checked mine recently but it was just starting production 1 1/2 weeks ago. I'm really itching to get mine as well! Let's hope for an early Christmas present for both of us.

Hi again!

Thanks for the warm welcome from all of you - I am thinking there should be some sort of reunion for all those who have the Nitro "First Edition" - could be fun!

So...how in the world would I be able to find out if my Nitro is in production - that is VERY tantilizing!

Talk to your dealer and get the vehicle order number. Then call the customer service line. I have the number but not with me at the time. I will post it a little later, or you can get it off the dodge homepage. Call and give them the order number and they will tell you the status of you vehicle.
