All those for sale signs

[CrnCnn]

Me too Bart. I really wanted to puke after reading some of those holier than thow statements by those guys on the other forums.

Yes, gentlemen that is Mr. Horse.

I can never remember if it was; "Well sir, I dont like it" or "no sir, I dont like it."

Bart and I got into a conversation about the "Jeep Thing" on here once. He called Jeepers elitists and I agreed that there are some snobs out there. But there are snobs everywhere - I even considered what Bart had to say a bit on the elitist side... no offense of course. But why would you let other people's attitudes dictate what you want to buy? Buying a Jeep doesn't make you one of "those people"! There are too many pricks with Porsches but they are still nice cars. Lots of snobby cyclists with Subarus; doesn't mean you are going to start doing downhill racing.

True true. That isn’t the main reason why I don’t want to get rid of the VX now. I still do in a way just something to beat up on though. I just got to thinking about it and really didn’t want to get rid of my VX. Its fun. It looks cool. I have met a some cool people (on and off line) because of it.

Also one thing about me is I am VERY indecisive.

I know how it is... I wanted to get a new Rubicon, then decided against it. Then I considered an SAS on the VX, then decided against it. Who knows what I will do!?

I really don't think Jeeps are bad vehicles. In fact, they are very capable, super modable, bad @$$ off road vehicles. There is no question about that. I have several friends who love them, and they are not elitist @$$holes.

But, you know what it really is for me? During my short, 15 minute drive into work today, I counted 7 Jeep Wranglers. Had I been paying attention, I probably could have counted 10 Jeep Cherokees. And I probably missed a few of each.

Its just like Apple I-PODs. I really have no problem with the device itself. The interface is good, it plays MP3s, there are million accessories for it, but I think my Creative Labs Zen Vision, is just as good, if not better. I feel the same about my VX. Not to mention, I counted only 1 VX on my way to work, and I was in it.

And one more thing, if I was to buy another off roading vehicle (that's not another VX), I would probably try to find an old 70s Ford Bronco. I just love em.



Or, one of these, if I could afford one:

Keep that VX!!!

I have always felt this to be a High Risk Trail.
Because the trail is "V" shaped. the sidewalls will climb and in less than one tire revolution....... ***** happens!!!!!
That is why I like those pictures, in the galleries, the most.
I would feel safer with a winch tied to a dead head at the top, (or a rig at the top with a winch)
I could not replace my VX. if I rolled it in the name of sport.
Keep the shiny side up!

I see less than 2 Zu's a day. RARELY see a Axiom. Does anyone know how many of those were produced? I see a VX all the time. Joe = Jkstephens on here has an IronMan as well, and lives down the road a bit.

I am actually still in shock at home many Isuzus I see here in Reno. When I lived in Chicago, I would only see an occasional Trooper or Rodeo. But out here, man, there are TONS of Troopers and LOADS of Rodeos. I have seen several Amigos but not as many as Troopers and Rodeos. I frequently see some really nice old Trooper IIs and they still look good.

'79-'86 I drove an old FJ softtop everywhere. One time, Philadelphia to L.A. to Daytona to Philadelphia in a ten day stretch. That lovely monster made a CJ seem positively refined. I loved every day of it.

[JHarris1385]

Odd you didnt see many in Chicago. When I went to Purdue University the towns up there were loaded with Zu's and Ru's (subaru), becuase of the Laffeyette, Indiana plant that produced both makes. Figured they would travel a little north too. I see more honda passports than rodeo's.
