Is your VX your main form of transportation?

My VX is my daily driver, but I ride my motorcycle as much as possible to give the VX a break.

... how are you guys handling the price of gas?

I converted mine to solar power about a year ago.

daily driver, as well. weekends are usually reserved for the wife's 'minivan' - her Xterra. a bit more practical for the family and loads of groceries, etc.

re: gas - not much to do but bear with it. not too bad after the initial couple months of gettin' used to the price increase.

the 'smiles per miles' seem to make it worth while, though.

Well it's nice to know I'm not alone here.

I have to agree with 2K1...it is the smiles per miles that keeps me loving the VX!

Not daily, 0177 doesn't come out in rain, never goes to any public place where it would be parked, high traffic situations, freeway/interstate/city driving are all avoided. No short trips, and almost never after dark. Too many boring cars in the world to abuse this cool one. Other than that, I pretty much drive it all the time

Hey Chopper.....those are pretty kewl rides you have in your gallery!

Yes, mine is my daily driver; especially now that the wife wrecked her Previa van and is now driving my previous daily driver - Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis Edition.

Re dealing with the cost of gas. I had thought about charging a dollar for tours of the VX when people ask about it ; and maybe 5 dollars for a ride

Thank you. The Suzuki and 49 Studebaker are pretty much "done" and been shown around for two years now. Both are headed to Arizona next month. The Camaro and Plymouth both sold in South Florida this year. ( not sure which photos your seeing) Right now, I'm getting into my Lightning truck. A mild refreshening is turning dangerously custom. Been staring at that blank canvas of a SSR for over a year now, just sittin' there, mocking me, and there is 0177... I've managed to leave it alone for six years now. Damn car addiction!

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.

I converted mine to lpg.(1/3) the price of petrol!
