Nissan is in the final stages of launching a terrific new ad campaign called ?Show Us Your X.? The campaign is designed to capture the spirit, the soul and the power of Xterra from the point of view of its most dedicated drivers.

Throughout the year, we?re going to ask Xterra devotees to have pictures taken of their most unforgettable adventures ? while they hold up the soon-to-be-iconic ?X=? card ? and submit them to a new website. But before we can start the campaign, we need to get some images on the site for our customers to see when they get there. So we?re calling on you to show people how it?s done. Ready to help? Just follow these steps:

1. Click on the link at the end of this e-mail to download your ?X=? card.
2. Get outside and shoot some of your own X-worthy photos. You don?t need to have an Xterra, but, if you?re fortunate enough to own one, we?d love see it in your pictures.
3. Remember to work the "X=" card into your photos.
4. E-mail the best shots, no bigger than 1 MB in size, to showusyourx@tdpinteractive.com before January 4, 2006.

The attached PDF has all the details on what we?re looking for and how you can submit your photos. Have an aversion to dirt, ice, snow and adrenaline surges? Don?t worry, you won?t lose your job, or get demoted, if you don?t participate.

Now, for the rest of you: Take a minute to read through the legal below, click on the link at the very end to download your ?X=? card, then go outside and do something that will make you famous ? without harming body, mind or your chances of getting to work on time Monday.

This is the legal:
