This is a pretty nifty thing.

I think that--at least on this forum--VX owners are by and large part of a fairly rare group of vehicle understanders; and that this applies to us more than your average motor-vehicle owner/operator.
I suppose part of it is having something so rare that you don't really want to trust just anyone to tinker with it, part of it is that the lack of available parts--aftermarket and OEM--brings out the Macgyver in a lot of us, and part of it is that the VX is just so nifty to play around with. To make something already rare into something unique. To have the ability and the interest to--when stopped by a stranger on the street--wax poetic about our vehicle, and to be able to rattle off statistics about these things to rival the best sports junkies.
I saw this earlier today and recognized a kindred spirit in it's author, and I figured many of you would as well. I've already printed a big poster from this thing and stuck it up in my shop.
Enjoy!
