    Daily driver since April of 99. Originally was going to use it as secondary transportation, but why not enjoy the VX every day? Mike

    Ha! That's extra funny coming from "Nocturnal"VX!!!


    As for Daily driver: YEP! About 40miles a day and loving it. My 65 Skylark was averaging about 15mpg before the VX so it's about the same. I'm hoping to figure out how to squeeze a couple more MPG's out of it if I can.

    DD here. The Dragon was my DD, now it will be the Proton. I hope to change that in the near future, but only time will tell...

    I alternate using my 95 Mercedes diesel and my VX on my daily drive.

    After driving the VX for a while then switching to the MB, I think.... WHY AM I DRIVING THE VX? (MB = Smooth ride, no bumps, 35 mpg, cruises nice when up to speed). But then after driving the MB and switching back to the VX, I think.......WHY AM I DRIVING THE MB? (VX = Great power and fast starts, nice high ride, great on those power corners, and I feel good in the VX. The ride makes me smile, but I do spill my coffee in the AM).

    So, I think it's time to modify the VX to fit me as I get older (I am old). Rancho 9000s set on four-five, new wheels and tires (tall and thin) for winter, and ohhhh those heated seats in an earlier thread do sound soooo nice.

    Talking

    It's my only mode of transportation at the moment. I try to take care of it like it's my baby, hopefully no major problems. I just love driving it. It's a great FSV (FUN SPORT VEHICLE) OR ASV (AWESOME SPORT VEHICLE).
    VX says it all, doesn't it.

    It's my ONLY vehicle!

    This thing is so versatile. I can drive with total confidence down the freeway through torrential down storms at 75 mph when other cars are doing 40 mph with their hazards on. The next day I can go enjoy all the mud that the rain provided. Then, I can wash her off and take the girlfriend to the riverwalk in style, turning heads the whole time. Well, maybe they’re just looking at my girl.

    Yep, daily driver. 85 mile work commute daily. 96K miles total. My other options - 82 Mustang GT (too much work to uncover/clean), 70 Torino Cobra (my daily driver for 15 years - retired to show duty), 00 Honda CBR600F4 (weather either too cold [I'm over 50 now!] or unpredictable). The VX does it all. MPG? Don't know, don't care. I learned to not care while driving the Cobra.

    Mine was a DD for years until I got something a little better on gas. Just a little. Now the VX comes out to play on weekends and whenever I feel like sitting higher than traffic.
