If this doesn't convince you that we're truly a deeply disturbed bunch I don't know what will.....er.... um...maybe I should only speak for myself .:disturbed :_wtf:
I believe this falls under the category of "having way too much time on your hands"....:rolleyes:
I spent many hours on it....but alas, finally realized I was NEVER going to come close to Gene's perfection.....so I threw in the towel...
But I did get some parts really nice and clean.....:thumbup:
Never quite got the pumpkin so you could see my reflection....but I got it pretty shiny:rotate:
I used Collinite Insulator wax on everything.

And even after a full YEAR, my pumpkin and gas tank are still lookin' good!
Big thumbs up for the Insulator Wax...heavy duty and long lasting! :thumbup:

Some of you people need help...:yesgray:
Hauling couches and loveseats (1 @ a time, of courses) around on the bike racks.
I use mine as a dd and vineyard truck. I personally think it's the perfect vehicle for working in the vineyards. Can carry more than an atv and has a/c but it is smaller than a truck and can get into all those small places that a full size can't. Plus none of the winemakers know what the hell it is so I get to talk about it alot. :bwgy:
Most recent addition to the "Other" category: Stump puller
Nice Tom... I assume that was with the new hitch?
Nope. Still running the Tone Clone. It's a little tweeked though. I bent it upward when I was trying to pull the plum tree back upright (too much torque from my drop hitch). I used my Mr. Scary Hook to pull the stump & it worked much better.Quote:

My Vx is used...or not used...as a garage queen...
I really have to say, however, that although I never had a room mate or house mate (other than my Beloved One), I think the only person on planet earth that I would ever be able to co-habitate with is Rickshaw...and I thought I was the only one that anal-retentive/Obsessive-compulsive! Luv ya, Bro...
I use mine only as a daily driver.
I only got my Vehicross for it's looks and rarity as I can't bring myself to drive a mundane looking everyday car that you see 10 of on the road side by side.
Mine will never go offroad and will be babied as long as I own it.
Rode my bicycle to work everyday last week. The VX is shined up and enjoyable for my eyes sitting in the garage. Had a beer this evening out there and had a supreme feeling of satisfaction with owning it. Good stuff.
I use mine to dream up projects, spend a bunch of money on the supplies, and then procrastinate getting them done. It's complicated. But it looks so awesome in my mind's eye all finished!
Some day...

EDIT: And oh yeah, daily driver too.
Yup V, I've got that same problem x10. Everywhere I walk around here I see tons of projects that will look so nice when they are done. The VX is on a looong list. It's an enjoyable problem to have though...:thumbup::_wrench:
