So last night I was at a meeting for judging at a rock crawling event when one of the other guys rolls up in his Toyota pickup. He parks behind me, gets out of his truck with his girlfriend and begins to circle and check out the VX. They then walk over to me and ask...
"Hey, does that thing float"?
After telling them that it won't, his girlfriend looks at him and says..."See, I told you it wouldn't"!
They were being completely serious!
So, anybody else gotten asked any funny questions?
Who makes this spacecraft???
"I read that this is a 'halo' vehicle. Is it supposed to be a real-life 'Warthog'?
HEY...isn't that stuff supposed to be dead.....ly?...:deadgray:
I put a "SEAL Team 4" sticker on my back glass and the other day while gasing up a guy asked me if the VX was used by the SEALs ? I told him yes but only during special-ops, when they needed quick ins and outs.
Just the "classic" is that a 2008,2009,2010...what ever year it is.HA!:bgwb:
I had a guy ask me once if it was a "new car"? He had never seen one and I guess it looked pretty new to him.

A couple of weeks ago i was at the servo paying for my fuel. The guy behind the counter commented that new cars have so much plastic. I think his jaw dropped about 5 cm when i told him it was 10 years old. :yesgray:
a few months ago some guy asked me if i completed a triathlon. After explaining the car was a special edition and it was ten years old he still didnt understand why i had triathlon on my VX
all of them , jajaja
Friday night this young guy on his WRX approached me asking me where can he join the rally race,i love "that" car of yours,every morning i drive by & looked at "that" (my baby) i feel excited but shy to ask if i can be a competitor.
I was like : Which rally ? :confused:
That dakar rally you go racing he replay,where you guys go rallying :o
I couldn't hold my self & just laugh about it,he saw the dakar rally stickers on my horse's windows & thought i were a dakar rally racer ha.:p
However,i just expense some time & explain him was what all about the dakar rally.
He looked a bit dissapointed,like "damn it,how could i missed that man" :(
"Is it made of plastic?"
"Is it chineese vehicle?"
One police officer to another: "Mike, look what you can do from the Niva" :winko:
Pretty close to your floating comment.
I have been asked if it was submersible. Once I said no they guy said oh well I meant is able to drive on land and water.

Back in summer season while visiting my sis who lives in stamford,CT i went with my niece to purchase some stuf @ the licour store.
Once out side the store there was this mom & her 5 years old kid just yielling at her:
Look,mom,look !
The mom were trying to get the kid into the back seat of her SUV but the kid kept yielling her & refraining from be seated.
My niece were laughing like oh uncle,i couldn't believe little kids will go nuts on your car like that.
I felt so touch by the way the kid was that much into the VX that i had to stop & give him the little hot wheel VX i had in the spare dashboard pocket.,but i didn't mind that at all,i knew i was doing the right thing.
More incredibly was the kid's reaction when i hand him the toy,he look at the toy,then look at the VX,looked at the toy again like trying to understand : WOW,it's the same,i got my VX ! :p
the worried mom : Oh my god,he wouldn't go to bed tonight.
Few moments after he looked at me with this angel smile on his face saying "thank you sr" & got into the mom's SUV waving at me.
One thing for sure,he will be part of the new gen of VX'ers :yesy:
I was asked if it was a hybrid.
My newest favorite was, "I have never seen a rubber car before! How cool!"
That was really nice of you Gussie. Good job representing the family :yesb:Quote:

Yeah Gussie, I guess that's what I get for bed lining the cladding... Imagine what funny comments SPAZZ would get! We got some fast food in Boise one day (SPAZZ and I) and the cashier had to blink and take a step back when he saw a VX completely covered in Line-X. He said, "Well, I guess you don't worry about ANYTHING do you!?? We thought it was pretty funny!
Maybe he saw this...Quote:

Here in NYC you can catch women looking hard towards my toy like :
Who the hell can be the mad man to build something like that :p
So I had my first "Hey that's cool, but what is it?" encounter. This guy leaning on his F150 waiting to load some stuff at the furniture store looks over when I pull up. Looks away and then looks back. Walks around the VX to see if he can tell what it is (it's ISUZU is debadged) and then comes up and starts talking to me about it. It was awesome!
Just one of the reasons that I wanted to own one of these great vehicles.
Random guy at gas station: "Wow, you must be a big fan of Jurassic Park?"
Me: "Ummm, no, not really :_huh:"
Random guy at gas station: "Oh, well, I figured you were since you have one of those trucks from the movie."
Me: "O......K.....:_wtf:"

When I first posted on my club forum that I'd just bought one, I too had a couple of comments about it looks like it would float and some comedian said it looks just like this: http://www.funmansion.com/pics/aqua_car.html
It doesn't, but I can see where he was coming from :bgwo:

Back in 08 was at the gas station late at night, the cashier ran out to ask me if it was the new 08 porche, and how the hell i got it before anyone else. had my laughs and drove off.
Another time i was driving down the street when a car flew by me, slammed on his breaks so i can catch up and asked if that is the 09 porche and wanted to buy it from me there and now. I responded with no, its an 01 isuzu and he looked at me like i was stupid and drove off.
note: there is absolutly nothing on my car that would indicate anything close to being a porche...

Back in 2004 on way back from Moab, in either New Mexico or far west Texas, Tone and I were getting gas......both of the VXs and both debadged with the black wheels.....and people at the gas station were asking what they were, we said we couldnt give any information but that they were test vehicles for the government or something like that......and you see the west texas blank stare back atcha.....lol
Not the funniest thing said to me but the best thing would have to been today when i went to pick up the misses. A attractive lady came up to me and told me she was in total lust with my car.
it turns out she has done her research about the vehi and knew her stuff. i was highly impressed!
i told her about the forum etc.
Cheers
