Ouch!!! Whenever I drive with my Yakima cargo box, I am in perpetual fear of it flying off the roof. This winter I saw a busted up Thule on the side of the highway - most of it, anyway.

I fit an 8' aluminum ladder in my VX last weekend... barely! Otherwise, other dumb things include, 4 Hummer OZ tires, a drill press, a polygidating Mormon girl, and other assorted junk - none at the same time though.

More stupid stuff! On the trailer, 20 pieces of 20' long PVC, 7 pieces of 10' long PVC, 4x4 post, and 14 bags of 80lb concrete. In the VX, wheel barrow, and small stuff. It was a very interesting drive home... but no cops to be seen!You can't tell in the pic, but the end of the pipe was at about the B-pillar which is why I angled it to the side and set it on the 4x4. When I got home, a neighbor lady had to come see my ride and ask the typical questions (but she called my VX cute
). And then when she left, another neighbor came by and asked me if I wanted to buy a truck! LOL, I don't need no stinking truck!

Traded my '99 ebony (0%, less than a year left) for a Toyota Tacoma 4 door, because I needed a truck for the job. I didn't fit, not comfortable, traded for a Lexus IS 300 SportCROSS (oooh, seems a little familiar, just newer, faster, and lower.) Sport CROSS was fantastic on dry pavement, not so much on soft sand and rock mix on Bayou Dorcheat. An accidental drift over a curb totaled the drivetrain and the SportCROSS. Lead to purchase of Ebony VX 377. Wrecked in hit and run, traded to Joe Black, turned into Rally Monster. I took Joe's '01 Dragon (which is well documented on this site) in trade for '01 ebony 377. It's a rolling testament to routine maintenance.
Still has the illegal (in Louisiana) window tint, and the uber-fan Star Wars logo in the rear window. Can't bring myself to replace it as long as there are so many great pics of this vehicle doing awesome things already on this site.

I stuffed a 42" flatscreen LCD monitor in the back. The guys at Best Buy were placing bets on wx it would fit or not. It ended up diagonal, resting against the front seat headrests.
It made it home okay, though!
Putting the car seat in the back was kinda silly, too... I see, now, why people are selling these things once they breed...
Sheesh!!! I just got mine and I haven't done anything stupid... YET!!!
EDIT: ...wait. I did do a stupid thing. FIRST thing when I brought it home, I let the dogs jump in the back and one goes right to the drivers seat and proceeds to scuff the leather seatback with her claw. Left a nice 3" long mark.
Oh well... not a major deal but, stupid.
...does that count?![]()
Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
Thanks for all the help.
