My VX should be in the garage in the winter

[HOT_WASABI_JUNKIE]

I got my VX about a month ago from this dood who was very anal about keeping the car as pristine as possible. I took it out to empty some big mud puddles and rally around on the fire roads behind my house. It was nice to see the torque on demand light flashing up and down.I had just had a subwoofer installed, but I told the installers not to batton it down so I could remove it for cargo space. That sub must have bounced about 2 feet in the air and was upside down when I finally checked it. The next day when I looked to see how muddy I got it, I noticed a scratch in the door panel and I almost crapped my pants. I was able to buff it out with some polishing compound,to my great relief. So I kinda think if your gonna go crazy offroad with it, have fun,and be prepared to see it slowly deteriorate.

One of the great things about this SUV is that it combines the best of form AND functionality. You don't see that very often. Unfortunately, it's really hard to fully enjoy both, which is probably why so many owners have bought more than one.

I've always tried to take good care of my vehicles, but I definitely wouldn't avoid putting them to the test just to keep them looking pretty. It seems to me that it's WAAAY too much work to keep a vehicle that you drive in showroom condition. On the other hand, if I ever have enough money to buy a vehicle that just sits in my garage to look at and polish and admire, then I'll probably also have the time to waste doing that stuff. Woohoo, bring on the retirement years!!!

Well, its all moot now for me anyways.... I have to use the VX for commuting. Road debris from the highway attacked my WRX coming home from work Friday night and shattered the windshield. She has been sitting in the garage since then and the VX has gotten nothing but love since, haha.

When you say shattered, do you mean completely shattered? Or just bad cracks? Man, of all the people on this forum, I think you have the worst luck with cars!! Sorry to hear about that!

Heh, ya, you are probably right about that. I am on the road more than I care to be though since I live far from everything, so my chances of this stuff are greater of course.

Ya, it's a lovely spiderweb over the passenger side. And as of today, it still is. The SafeLite guys came by this morning to replace it, but it appears that State Farm gave them the wrong info. Right car, just the wrong windshield. Apparently, the one they brough was missing some sort of top shade over the mirror. I can only equate that to being the radio antenna liner, but I could be wrong.

So, now I wait for a phone call for a reschedule. *sigh*
