The Armada
This is my 2004 Nissan Armada, and it’s my daily driver.
It’s got some miles on it, and it needs the occasional repair like anything else at this age. The goal isn’t to make it perfect — it’s to keep it safe, dependable, and not a financial disaster.
I’m keeping this page as a running log of what I’ve done to it, what it cost, and what I learned. Mostly so I have a record. But also because I figure some other person out there is probably dealing with the same vehicle.
