WooHoo
Dats what I'm talkin 'bout!!!
In 2018, I'll be posting a similar story.
We've got two '99's with similar results. It was just a plain good car. At $33K new it's what you'd hope for.
These stories really give me hope that my Dragon will continue to be around for a long time...:yesgray::yesy:
Bought my Ironman in TX, 1999. Made numerous trips to Big Bend NP from Dallas. I guess I drove some couple thousand miles on rough unpaved dirt (sometimes deep mud or deep loose sand) Texas roads. Never got stuck nor had any other operating problems. In 2003 made a 2nd and final drive from TX to CA where I am, today. My 11-year-old VX still has less than 60k on its odometer. Worst mechanical failure happened just last week. The windshield washing fluid reservoir sprung a major leak near the pump. I periodically encounter a local fellow that wants to buy my VX. "Hand me $100k in cash and I'll include the iPod."
Impressive!

The second time I couldn't figure out how I did it the first time and ended up removing the tank to put the tube back on.

Thanks Tom. After posting my message I searched for a solution. I think I came across your earlier post about this issue.Quote:
