I'm off to visit with my son for 6 days in Virginia Beach and then on to Denver Colorado to work for Raytheon Polar Services and the United States Antarctic Program. Here is a pic of the VX packed and ready to go outside of Buffalo, NY. It has just gone over 100,000 miles and is still performing very well. I have had my VX for about a year and have been racking up the miles. I've had Range Rovers, Jeep CJ7's, Wranglers, a 69 Broncos and various other vehicles, but the VX is hands down my favorite!

got the blue box with the X, so here's the pic:

Have fun, long road trips are fantastic! I did 3700 miles in mine last fall! Enjoy!
I think the bike looks hilarious way up there...

Denver Colorado to work for Raytheon Polar Services and the United States Antarctic Program.

My sister has worked for them "seasonally" for the past few years. Small world

Ha. No spare time. At work. I am a software developer, so I am in front of a computer pretty much all day.

Your stuff should be wrapped up HOPEFULLY this weekend. The box carpet has been a nightmare to get. Apparently black has been backordered. They are estimating thursday.

What about another color, charcoal gray or something like that?

I'm looking forward to a long road trip in my truck soon. (except for the gas prices part) I'll be going about 7 hours up to the FL panhandle in late January, but I really want to drive it all the way back to AR to visit where I grew up. Lots of mud and mountains in the area. Have fun and make sure to stop for thos little town oddities (like if you go through ND take a pic of LDub!!) :p

PS: Kat, you should see a 29" mountain bike with both wheels on, mounted on top of a lifted VX! I gotta stand on the tires and have a friend hand it to me!

That's not too far out of the way! I will probably take I20 back and could make a detour for a quick howdy and some high fives:bgwo:

I will definitely look up the Colorado VXers when I get to Denver. I'm addicted to the "nectar of the gods"; coffee, so we can all arrange to meet one Saturday at a coffee shop to chat about our vehicles and what not.

As far as being in Virginia Beach, I was just there yesterday with my son right next to the Poseidon statue. The water was 54 degrees, but we still had fun. Wednesday is suppose to have thunderstorms and I have to leave Norfolk on Thursday to start the Denver drive. So I won't be going to VA Beach again. Not too worry mate. I will be back in the future.
