    I think I just bought a VX!

    ::gulp::

    I just committed to buying a 1999 Ebony VX!

    Please tell me I didn't make an impulse purchase. I didn't meet the eBay reserve price, but the seller contacted me and made me a pretty good offer after the auction. Go to http://www.ebay.com and check out this completed item:

    170053174440

    Now I can have fun debadging and re-wheeling and too-much-modding and stuff! Who has some skid plates and roof racks and cone filters for me?!?

    Talking

    Sure, you can ask!








    Just kidding. My maximum bid was $9650, but that didn't reach the "Reserve Price", so I just thought I was out of luck. But this morning, the seller called me and offered the VX to me at $9900. I thought that was a fair price, so I jumped at it.

    I know it'll be WAY over $9900 by the time I have it shipped, then buy some skid plates, maybe a GPS navigation and rear-camera system, find out of Tone has any trunk poppers left, get a roof rack installed, etc etc etc. But I need a good winter project.

    That's a real nice looking VX. Good show and congrats. I saw it the other day. I wish I could afford two. I almost emailed my brother in South Florida to see if he wanted it.

    Have fun trying to find a roof rack.

    Hi Kyle,

    We MAY have met a looooooooong time ago at a Seattle VX meet, back when I had my '99 Ironman VX. Tone even made the long journey to be a part of the group!

    Anyway, once I get my car delivered, I'd love to get together with you to compare notes. I've got great plans for my new Ebony ride.

    Also...what's up with your website?!?

    CONGRATS My brother lives 30 minutes from Boca... I wish I was there right now! CONGRATS AND WELCOME! From one corner of the US to the other. Probably the longest trip a VX will take w/out moving its wheels.
