We have all heard a great many "it looks like a****" in the past. Recently, my VX got a new nickname from my friends and I must say, it's my favorite. Even decal worthy, which I am considering....
The Battletoad!

Thats a lot better than "pregnant roller skate" that I get alla time.
Ha ha ha ha. Funny you say roller skate. When I first saw my VX at the dealer I didn't know what it was. I thought it was ugly. I thought it looked like a "roller skate". but now...I think it is the coolest looking auto ever created and I just enjoy looking at it.
Its because of the oval grill, mine's been called suckerfish before.Quote:

:laughing:
I bought up some Transformer decals from WalMart (gold insignia) that I sometimes apply to the front-center of my nose mask (VX Bra) on the hood. So far I've only used the Decepticon ones...lol.
I haven't got any nick-names as of late (other than some stranger in a bar wanted to know who owned the "Baja Buggy" parked outside) as the VX seems to have traveled from "ahead of its time styling" to "modern styling". People's jaws drop when they ask me who makes it and if its new; then I tell them its 11 years old! I always get the proverbial..."but I've never seen one before!"
What I love in my case is that even though it is viewed as one of today's crossovers...no crossovers run around with off-road tires & setup and so it really is getting alot of attention these days. I mean you just don't see a Kia or whatever with lift & mud-tires! :p
We call my friends Dragon green the Wartfrog. He wanted to name it the Warthog after the Halo car, but we all thought it looked more like a frog, so we combined them. It does look a lot like a catfish though.
My girlfriend calls my VX the triceratops or rhino car hahah
I never responded to this thread when it was first posted, but I LMAO and fell in love with the name Battletoad ever since I saw it.
I've been trying to think of an awesome name fitting for an Ironman.
Terror Bunny?
War Weasel? (or is that for Astral / Kaiser?)
(LOL, beer is fun!)

The folks in my town all refer to my vx as the "moon unit".
My bro-in-law called mine Mighty Mouse... next to his lifted Ford Excursion with a Superman decal in the window.
I just made a windshield banner that says:
ZOMBIE HUNTER...will add a pic later.
Rick--- For an Ironman VX; how 'bout "LUNAR ROVER"??? BTW, did you ever get the Vanity Plate of "AREA-51"???Quote:

I just put this on the back window.Quote:
