x2 Billy; well said.

Glad to hear the VX made the top 5 roster!!! Jo, you should feel proud. That photo of yours and the one from JohnnyApollo (see Wikipedia for VX) are the two most repeatedly used photo's for the VX.

Wow, the VX has to be the most, um, normal vehicle on that list.

BTW, Jo, I'm glad you had a cover on your spare tire, wouldn't want it to get dirty or anything... :p

That Knight is Supercool.:evil: Im glad the VX got props, a nice fork in the eye of the "Ugliest Vehicles Crowd" in my opinion. If the apocolypse happens which VX'er has a bunker for us?:bomb: Come 'on tell us!

that I dug under my block & the adjacent interstate last summer...:yesgray:

The part you see is just extra VX parts, the 1000 ft or so, behind the camera is all vacant, with the exception of truck lifts, work benches, tool boxes, welders, plasma cutters, al manner of steel & aluminium plate & tubing, in every possible grade, massive bins of fasteners, food, water, etc...:_wrench:

And... there is some FUN stuff too...:naughty:

I mean ALL OF US would fit in there, we could start a commune, and all live together sharing our skills and creating the ULTIMATE VX of Destruction... They shall call us the "Tribe of The Great Dub" Saviors of Humanity, Defenders of the Almighty VX! :evil:

Unfortunately we can't, that's a top secret government facility where top men work. Top men...

It's a good point, if the apocolypse happens gas will be at a premium, and the VX is a guzzler. Wish it was a deisel with better mpg.

You guiz and girlz know that after about 8-12 months after the apocalypse gasoline will not run most modern engines or even most older engines. The necessary additives will have evaporated.

Given current technology you better hope you don't have to drive more than a few hundred miles or that you don't have more than a few rainy days in a row.

Anything is probably cheaper than gas...I'd settle for a strong 4 cylinder in the vx if it got me 25 to 30mpg.

I had gas in my snowmobile for 3 years and it ran on it. I burn old gas through my ford F-150, fuel injected, it spits and sputters a little bit but it burns.
