Not a VX, but a 'Zu nonetheless...
Hey y'all!
Keith (Locomigo) here... Bought our 99 Migo softie as a new job present and after 10 years of waiting, from viewing the first 89 I fell in love with...
I, like Scott, have NEVER been SO obsessed with anything this badly in all of my life.
Great job on the site Scott, looks like a lot of fun, and glad to be here.
Hope to see as many of you that care to join us in Beuna Vista next month for Colorado 'Zu! Should be another GREAT 'Zu time.
Let me know if ever you need additional promoting, support or anything else.
The Origins of my lust...
I originally saw the VX in an auto show preview... when the beast finally made it to the cover of Car and Driver, I was hooked ;Dy; . I began actively seeking one in 2000 with the new Proton Yellow paint. When I couldn't find one (I was told the initial shipment only had 30 in yellow, and that only two were still available - on in Hawaii and the other garnered no response from the dealer) - I almost bought a Foxfire Red. I finally just gave up and kept driving the 4Runner.
Last may, coming back from the Toyota parts store with components for the Camry, I thought I'd give the Isuzu dealer another try (it was on the way), and see if the new model had come out. Turns out they had just sold the only one they had the day before, it was a Proton, and that there was a $0 down 0% deal. I was heartbroken ;eekb; ...but they thought they could find me another one. A week later, and the one sold had been returned (they guy decided on black)...so I ended up with it. It's been a love affair ever since.
No regrets here... even with the quirks (my girlfriend hates the rear-seat accessibility and rear visibility), I wouldn't give it up for a free Hummer.
-- Best, John
PS - Thanks for this great new board!
