Good point, just in the last 3 months I have been on here, I have learned a ton of stuff about the VX, and had all of my questions answered right away.Quote:

Can be unpredictable at times < theres a big hill, lets drive up it!>
Has a higher than average mechanical/spacial aptitude <yeah, i can tow your JEEP out of that mud hole, but first we need to make a strap out of these here vines!>
Sees the forest through the trees <yep, theres a big lake on the other side of that hill where the trees dissapear, that explorer might need a tow out of it> :bwgy:
Im 31, fat, lazy, like to look up internet porn drink beer and go muddin' in my neighbors yard, pretty much your typical hillbilly, I do on occassion go poachin with the VX to run over some raccoon or squirrel right before dinner so I can cook me up some lunch, what can I say. Im the odd man out here. ohh and I dont have guns, I do have a blowdart and a slingshot however!
Don't know if I agree with that - they built a vehicle with one cup holder but two ashtrays, a virtually inaccessible backseat, and windows that drink silicon spray almost as rapidly as the engine does gasoline. ;) But you're right, it is a sexy beast. :cool:Quote:

On that note, have you guys seen the new Audi commerical where they mock Lexus RX owners? High quality entertainment for those of us that mock status symbol / poser cars.

Tell me about it....
I went to this state park reservoir in long island on the 4th;I was bloody late,my friends & family were already there since 6:00 am,but the park was completely crowded by the time i got there so i was unable to find my gang,almost all of the 9 huge parking lots were occupied,only the last lot had available spots & with all the 1000's of cars i can't find those that belongs to my gang so i called one of my cousins & told her:
Shanna,look out for the strangest vehicule out there,she asked me:how it looks like ? I replay :dunno know how to explain you.
Three minutes later she called back:Gus,is that you driving a silver weird looking thing or whatever is that called on the right lane ? Yeap,that's me.
She laugh saying:Gus,you really knows how to boost an girl's attention,i mean it she added :Holy s...it's a two doors;Wow,this thing's a rolling single
& mingle advertisement;Where the hell you got that thing from ? Obviously she never saw one in north carolina where she lives & came to spend the weekend here in NYC;Anyhow i think the VX definnetly can't go unnoticed any where it goes.
Gussie,
What is soccer ????
And who the hell cares about it??
I wonder why is the ????Quote:

Do those names sounds to you familiar ?
I describe myself as a non-conformist with an apprciation for the rare and different. I'm 42, single, never married (came close a couple times, thank god I dodged that bullet), no kids. I have no compulsion to do the "white picket fence house with 2.5 kids and half a dog" thing. And yes I'm very much a heterosexual. Despite the non-conformist leanings, I look like Ned Flanders (Simpsons hehe...) I'm compelled to have a clean cut image for my job.
Love guns but don't own one. Beer is a staple of my diet, yet never drive intoxicated. Enjoy the outdoors esp when its cold ( i lived in Alaska for 15 years before moving to Alabama) but don't get out very much here in Alabama.
I am a IT techie by trade, "if I cant mod it, I wont buy it" is a general rule in my buying habits. I also tend to the obscure tastes in music as well as vehicles.
My other car is a fairly rare Copper colored Saturn SL2, only produced in early 97. I tinted the windows, opted for the alloy wheels, added sunroof and a decent audio system. Its still a sharp looking car that turns heads simply because of its great color scheme. When I get pulled over, the cop invariably asks "Ummm what color is this?" as he writes me up for speeding which happens way too often.
Mechanics ask me "What happened to your purple car? or Pink car? lol I never correct them that the color is Copper, cuz frankly I dont care what they think it is as long as they remember it. ;) Guess I bought the VX for much the same reason. Turn heads, be different, not care if they hate it. Dance to a different drummer, be my own person and to hell with their preconceptions of what I should do, how I should live, what my priorities should be, or what I drive.
Hmmmmmmmm....:_thinkingQuote:

Isuzu must have had someone in mind with these things. Anyone know who they were building these for? What did they say?
Maybe the color of your VX says something.
First reaction to my Proton, a rare beast here in Canada, was "Starved for Attention!" If it was an Ebony I am sure the reaction would have been different.
Let's see if we can come up with personality traits by VX color.
Astral / Kaiser = conservative, if that fits a VX Owner at all?
Dragon = nature lover?
Ebony = rebel?
IronMan = ??
Fire Fox = ??
Proton = hey, look this way?
i disagree bee sting...
mine is kaiser and im about as far from conservative as you can get ;)
and ldub, he is definately not conservative....astral
jofotoz, another astral owner, not conservative....
although, judging by plainly color i could see how you would think that
I think Kiaser just screams "Bad *** Mofo"Quote:

Astrals I think look most conservative.
White reminds me of a fleet vehicle or a generic beer can.
Ebony is just all black... not bad but bland IMHO.
Foxfire is very sharp.... and is a great web browser. lol
And I agree that the green is for the outdoorsy typpes.
But Kiaser conservative?? No, just sharp.
Protons are attention whores???
I'd take offense to that ... if it weren't true ... but ...
"Kiaser just screams Bad *** Mofo" ... Naw - it looks like sump'n James Bond would drive.
I'd love to be there some foggy morning when you come out to get in your Kaiser to go to work. "Dang - Some AH stole my VX" ... then ... BAM ... you walk right into it. BWAAHAAHAA!
yes! thats an awesome compliment, ill drive a james bond style vehicle any day!Quote:

How about, just plane...unique?
Hmmmmmm.....

Bee Sting formerly known as bond0643 on this site
James would drive Kaiser or Astral.
Chuck would drive Proton.
Now, now, now gentlemen.... on this soccer debate, let's just settle it in a tie; that should satisfy soccer fan.
I drive a Proton.
Ian Fleming's guy....ok a Kaiser.
James

Agree with many things covered in this thread:
1) VX owners like attention (admit it)
2) Are all ages, shapes, origins, etc.
3) Obsessive or compulsive (you probably do pay less attention to you spouse/other)
4) Active but not necessarily outdoorsmen (I don't like to sleep there either)
I would add "too much time on our hands" or insomniac or easily bored...or perhaps slightly insecure. Marlin could possibly add potentially paranoid since he takes showers and thinks about FBI profiles of him and his buddies (then of course I log on and comment about HIS delusions - that's probably worse).
Don't worry Gussie2000 - I won't touch you; can't use my hands !!!!:bgwo:Quote:

I wasn't gonna get involved in this, but I have to now, I do not follow soccer, but based on your logic PK, games like Basketball, where if you touch their arm, you are in the wrong and all action stops so they can rest, and games like baseball, where no one really does any actual physical activity would be consider non-sports in your eyes.Quote:

Hi Marlin, not quite the right line of thought mate.Quote:

What I don't like in any sport, is people over reacting to a slight touch to get a free kick or whatever. What ever sport you play, play it like the rules intended, and don't act like a crybaby if you get bumped.
Trouble with soccer, is that the crybaby syndrome is so prevalent that from a spectators point of view, it ruins the otherwise good talent of the players.
I hope that explains my thoughts a bit better.
Oh - and bring on the big fellas with all their padding, it would be fun bouncing off all that soft stuff.
Oops, gotta hide behind the missus again.

LOL, I understand what you are saying, but man, hav eyou ever watched an NBA game, those guys fall down all the time, any way they can to push a foul.Quote:

With that said, I played soccer for 12 years, recreationally, and I got hurt plenty of times, but from a professional aspect, those guys don't make much money when they are hurt, and that goes for all sports, so they tend to puss it up a bit. I get what you ar saying PK, but from an athleticism point of view, nothing competes with soccer. All other sports, except Rugby, those guys are just crazy, have almost as much downtime as there is game time. And only require significant thought from a few individuals. *sigh* I can't believe American Football players make millions a year...what is wrong with my country?!!
BUMP for... you know who you are. :)
