Take the train four days a week, then drive once a week so everything on the VX has a chance to get fully warmed up and lubricated on the way. How far is your commute?

its only actually about 10 miles into the city.. but with traffic the vx will probably be running about 20-25 minutes.. mostly stop and go with about 2-3 minutes on the highway at 55 (give or take depending on the traffic that day)

The VX isn't the best choice of vehicle for that type of driving, but you know what? You'll get to drive her every day.

Mine was a daily driver for over 7 years until just recently when I bought an '06 VW Jetta TDi.

::hands over ears::: LAALAALAAALAA i cant hear you
how dare you! if my vx was in the room youd REALLY be in for it...

haha im sure there are better vehicles for that kind of driving (like my vw rabbit ive been letting my sis keep/drive) but i dont mind driving the vx in those conditions, im used to it by now driving up and down 95 through baltimore and philly all the time.. just gotta be lighter on the gas to salvage a little gas mileage, hopefully my sis will get her own car soon and i can use the rabbit cause no way im gonna swap the vx for the rabbit!!

The sad truth is, most of the big US cities come with a certain amount of danger and crime. If you can live with it, rock on, but it ain't for me.

The suburbs aren't much better. You have to move pretty far from the city to escape it these days it seems, unless you can afford to live in one of those high dollar neighborhoods and want to deal with all that comes with that. That's one of the reasons I didn't move back to DC after getting out of the service. The area I live in is a much better environment for me and my family.
