What VX inspires you?

[Anita]

Wow, great question. When i was looking for a new car in 99, I wanted something unique - something that wasnt common. I spotted an Astral in a dealership showroom went straight home and checked the Isuzu website. A Vehi-cross, such a strange name. Soon after that there was one of those car and driver shows on TV, featuring the VX. My decision was solidifying. Then I took a look at Edmunds.com and found there was a VX forum there! Tone, LisaK, Ron, Venusfly and a few others had posted there about their new 99 VX's. I contacted LisaK who lived just 20 minutes from me and asked her a bunch of questions about her VX. Soon after that the forum at VMag.com sprung up where more gathered. But I had made my decision the moment I saw that Astral. I went back to that dealership and test-drove an Ironman. The VX membership I found at Vmag helped me set the wheels in motion to order up my 2000. Many trucks and owners have inspired me through the years. Ron, Tone, George (NYCIronman), Daver, Scott(Moncha), Dave (Cyrk), Johnnyapollo, Joe Black, Ldub, Paul (senih laup), and Reg Hinnant, to name just a few.

Two of my favorite VX's of all time (except my own, of course):

NYC #1 Ironman's (sold about a year ago)



I always liked this one because it was one the few highly modded Ironman models I've ever seen and it looks great. You can tell that A LOT of attention was paid to the small details, like every lens is either clear or smoked. Not underdone, and not overdone. Perfect!

I couldn't find a picture of the other one because I can't remember whose it was - but it was a proton with a really awesome audio system with three subs in a fiberglass enclosure in the rear and proton yellow painted interior panels. There was only one like it, so I'm sure someone can refresh my memory.

An honerable mention goes to LDUB (even though you've only been around the last couple of years, you've done a helluva job!)



And there have been tons of other VXer's with skills in one area or another who have impressed me over the years. Let me take a moment to thank EVERYONE for their inspiration and support over the years. Thanks!!!

This one took a LOT of thought for me, as there are so many, & I know I've left some out...

TONE, Transio, Destruction, JoFotoz, Cyrk, JollyRoger VX'er, Kpaske, M.Beach, Grampa Bob, Triathalete, WormGod, Joe Black, Jayphotoz, Biju, Nocturnal VX...the list could go on, but at this time of morning, probably not.

Thanks to all mentioned & unmentioned (if you see one of your ideas used on my ride, thank yourself.)

Wow, I am honored to see that my VX is an inspiration to a few of you. But, I must ask.... which one....



....or....



Hehehehehe.... (sorry, I just LOVE to flash that nasty RIP Dragon Green as a reminder that these bad boys are extremely reliable!)

New super duper improved pics coming soon. MANY new additions and she looks insanely different.

I think everyone's VX is an inspiration to me. We all have our own mod preferences, from audio, video, performance, and visuals, and I love seeing everyone's handywork because it always gets me brainstorming and makes my wallet itchy. Keep up the great work EVERYONE!

WormGod...
The 1st one inspires me to drive more defensively (outright paranoia ?)

The second one inspires me to wash-n-wax more often.

I kept those photo's of wormgod's accident for reference - that was some accident.

i love the setup moncha has, at first glance looks almost stock but when you look closer you see the LEDs and caliper paint and the clear bra etc etc.. clean and functional
