Picked up my new 2008 Xd on May 03 and have been driving it non stop ever since. I absolutely LOVE this car. It's been kind of a big change of pace for me though, went from a 2005 Nissan Titan with a small lift, inatke, exhaust and tons of other work put into it, to a stock Xd. So, to put it in to perspective, I went from this:

To this:

Looking forward to getting to know people on here and getting started on doing things to the car. Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can get instructions, hopefully FSM ones, on shock/strut removal/replacement?

Thanks everybody for the welcoming and many thanks to tmrepp for posting the PDF file with the installation instructions for the shocks and struts. I plan on tackling that sometime next month. Still on the fence about wether or not I want to do the lowering springs or not though.
I'm aboslutely loving this car. Getting 33 MPG and the engine isn't even loosened up yet. Much better than the 15 MPG I was getting in my truck and much easier on my wallet when I have to fill it up. Very happy so far!
