Retirement time is here....

We all get there....and 0177 is no different.
This week, all the fluids will be changed, it will get a complete detail, I'll dig out the cover. The wheels and tires will be replaced by stands, and be flat stacked.
There's a corner in the new building where it will stay....on stands, covered and silent.
Makes me sort of sad actually, but I'm not willing to sell it and I won't park it outdoors.
Maybe work it into the showroom floor but then people are touching it and crap,,,,,that would make ne nutz:mado:
Something may change down the road, and I'll be able to use it again, but for now?
:yeso:58k and flawless is a good place to quit.

I don't understand. Did your engine blow and you can't fix it or something?

nothing like that, just too many vehicles. 3 in the garage and a pickup in the drive. It's just never gonna get used anymore and I don't want it outside. I have nice inside storage at the shop, so I'm mothballing it.

I think the showroom with a velvet rope around it (or maybe some yellow tow ropes...more VXish) and a nice plaque :)

Sorry it's out of service, but yeah I don't think I would part with mine either. In fact I just said to the guys on the trail ride today that when mine goes I'll probably put it up on block in the front yard, partly to display it proudly and partly to annoy my neigbors :D

Well at least now we can all rest easy knowing there is a pristine one being preserved so the rest of us can continue modding and wheeling however we want with ours. :D

It was actually the owner/boss' idea to make a display on the floor and put it into the collection.....If I can figure a way to show it and keep folks, and kids and fingers OFF, that may happen still. Left half on a "road surface" right side on rocks....rt side dirty/left side shiny??
I like the Tow rope idea

Where exactly is the showroom? I live in the Ft Lauderdale area and will be driving up to Atlanta in about a month. Would love to stop by as part of my trip.

It might become a shrine to all those people who will never be able to have one :)

Also, you'd be surprised how effective a "Please do not touch" sign can be. People are generally respectful of that kind of thing.

someday long after people are extinct from this planet a spaceship will arrive, take off the cover, and marvel at the vx - then the conversion for space travel begins...

When the Doctor finally fixes the Chameleon Circuit in his TARDIS, it will logically decide to take the shape of a VX :)
