My Rogue

 

Well, as my birthday is in January, my vehicle tags came up for renewal this month. Instead of re-applying and registering with the old Focus plates, I opted to again go with Service Branch plates. It was fast online renewal, and within 20 minutes or so they sent me the message plates and reg. were ready for pick up. Walked into DMV expecting there to be a long process but was pleasantly surprised with no wait at all this go-round. So D-2 is again sporting Service tags and they look at home...

 

I took Debs Rouge (D-2)  the other day, didn't make it more than 1/2 mile down the road and the damn thing chimed and sent me the message across the dashboard that said Take a Break and showed me a coffee cup...lol.  That was definitely the first time I ever saw that..I can only blame that on the sensors picking up a lot of swerving action due to the road construction barricades along the route I was taking. Just thought to myself, this damn car knows me way to well,,lol.

 

Ounce of Prevention and Protection:

Just purchased the extended warranty on the Rogue, even though the car is new, I have seen way to many horror stories online about the reliability of these rigs, from transmissions, to blown out windows, failing to start and stopping while driving, etc. So I opted for the 101,000 mile /6year warranty good until Nov, of '31. Just in case.. I cant afford to take a major hit at the repair prices.. that shits scares me... 

The warranty cost just over $4000 with a $100/deductible, but when considering the cost of repairs, it pays for itself in one or two major repairs.. Hopefully I will never need it, but with the track history of my luck and the Rogue reviews/complaints, etc.. I can't take the chance. It jumps my payment for a couple years as I took the 24 month option for payments.

 

Well my Jeep ducking days are gone, so I decided not to waist what I have so I will be transferring some of my military ducks over to R-2's dash. First on the list goes this fella, the Proudly Served Veteran duck. He now sits center stage on my dashboard, I have run out of the Navy ducks having given them out to others during my Jeeping days, so I will be looking for a new one to replace it fairly soon, but the prices of these dang ducks are getting ridiculous. I still have a ton of the military challenge coins too, not sure if I want to continue handing them out or just put them up for sale as a lot so someone else can enjoy coining other Veterans..

I would like to start a Rogue campaign of some sorts as well.. similar to the ducking of jeeps, but specifically for Nissan Rogue owners. thinking maybe small Ninja's as an option.. something to ponder for a spell..
