Got my Dragon a few days ago :bgwb: And was wondering if these things are normal.

Wanting to cruise main.

Wanting to jump something.

to pull up at the next stoplight and rev her up at the next wannabe monster truck that pulls up.

Stick my head out of the house and check on it at night.

Looking for a "State Maintenance Ends" sign.

wishing for snow in the first part of August.

Buy vanity plates that say "Bad One"

Ride the shoulder of the highway on purpose.

Leave early for work to make the drive longer.

Park with my front wheels on top of the parking curb rather than in-front of it.

Hanging a scrolling LED sign in the back window that says "I Know!"

Well what is the verdict? have I gone insane???

In the week since I got my VX I have done the following:

Fixed right fender that was pushed back and binding on the door.

Removed front cladding and fixed "L" shaped hole in the cladding.

Removed wiper arms and valance below them to take care of some rust issues.

Bought new lug nuts to replace the rusted ones on the vehicle.

Fixed to small crease lines on the hood insert.(I haven't gotten it sanded and painted yet)

Ordered several factory OEM parts for various interior parts missing.

I have to figure out what to do about the bumper in the front because there is nothing left of it. I am serious when I took the front cladding off there was just a small piece left in front of the radiator.

I have started to renew the cladding using a heat gun. It looks pretty nice but time will tell how that will last.

By the way, bssage, I grew up not too far from where you are now. I also went the the University of Iowa my freshman year.

For the rest of you out there, I have taken lots of pictures, I just haven't had time to upload them yet.

small world.

I lived in Greeley and worked/lived at the Keystone resort for a time after HS.

Nice state. Great place for a VX.
