    Vernons Proton

    Not yet. I am going out there on Mon to look it over. If all looks good then yes I will buy it. He found a good rate for shipping it back and it will take about a week to get back.

    I'd recommend a rear door popper if it doesn't already have one. An you many want to think about Tone's trailer hitch - even if you don't have in mind to tow, it comes in handy.

    Tires: I just had Toyo Open Country AT's, 285 R60 18 installed last week. The VX begged for them, it is the tire that should of been on it in the beginning. Yes, I did have to trim the front corner of the cladding, but you can't tell it was trimmed. No mod to the suspension, so you don't have to lift if you don't want to if it is a street car only. If you plan on wheeling with it, then I don't know.

    I'm now a VX owner

    Well everyone, I went out and met Vernon. He is a VERY nice and intelligent man. Very nice and he took very good care of the VX. He didn't put many miles on it as he has other vehicles in the family. The transaction is done and I'm back at home now. We are arranging now to have it shipped. It should be here in less than 2 weeks.

    I CAN'T WAIT LOL

    So while I'm waiting I think I'm going to go ahead and purchase some items that I want to modify in the mean time. When it gets here I will certainly be a busy bee and will be spending many nights on this website looking through postings and mods.

    I will be in touch, but as of right now I'm officially part of the VX family!!

    Ty,

    Congratulations on the purchase!

    And, if it is a Proton, then - double congratulations!

    Yeah, I am a little biased....
