is your vx your daily driver, just for fun on the weekends, or something else? you can select more than one
I selected all three because:
1. DD: Boy is still using it for his DD (until I get the Samurai on the road for him)
2. Weekend fun: Oh hell yah!!! Even have it set up now to tow behind the RV so we can have fun all over the place.
3. Other: It's the workhorse vehicle now since the TLC died. Hauls cinder blocks, tows the SeaDoos, tows trailer to the dump on occasion, ....
Mine is mainly for cruisin around stylin' and profilin'. :bwgy:
Daily driver and rock crusher! :)
Driving
i use mine to smoke the pipes off the offroaders here in El Paso, Tx on the sand dunes...
Daily and Rallyx, Beating them pesky subarus.
Daily driver from Feb 06.. just bought a new daily now, so shes a garage/show queen now :)
um, I drive it. well, when my wife isn't hogging it.
All three,
Daily driver, offroader, and whoopin up on some STI's in the snow :p
I use mine to break necks and sign checks. ;]
I retired my first VX from DD "active duty" when I transitioned to working from home about a year ago. I use my new VX (like my old one) to do almost everything: cross-country trips with the fam, rock crawling in Moab, deep sand driving in the Outer Banks, hauling the grill to company picnics, etc. I have always felt that the VX is as practical as you decide to make it.
:thumbup:
I use mine for a little bit of everything. It's my cargo hauler (sounds funny, but that ability is HUGE compared to my Mustang!) This year I've officially used it as a vacation rover / off-road source of entertainment. It's also my favorite vehicle to take to car shows.
It's funny, my real intent when buying a 2nd vehicle for hauling stuff started with just wanting a cheap, used truck. I was frustrated trying to get things to and from my house, but I couldn't bear thinking about getting rid of my beloved '08 Mustang. Over the last 2 years of VX ownership, I've driven it much more often than the Mustang. I love both, but the VX is just as fun on a whole different level. :)

All three. The "other" being "confuse the locals, and repel zombies".
I use my motorcycle for DD unless weather turns sour, then the VX gets her turn. Or unless I want to listen to music while I drive...
what do you use your vx for?.......
PURE FUN!

She gets used hard ... & not always politely:
Mine is a DD and offroad beast. She is leaning more and more toward offroad every year.
The other: how to take Isuzus apart and put them back together. How to weld, how to cut steel, how create art (first bumper reference).
U forgetted one....:rotate:Quote:

Cris,
I'm sure your VX is a thing of beauty. But ...
http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...ght=reflection
Look at post 28.
If you can't see your reflection in the rear pumpkin - your VX isn't being maintained to rickshaw's exacting standards.:)
& unless you keep a California duster handy in your glovebox, you're not maintaining it to cobrajet's exacting standars.:)
I admire the care you guys give your VX though. My VX is loved but abused.
It's an aluminum insert each bump is a vent.Quote:

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:
