Not to go against the current, but...As with all of us with other projects in the garage (mine is the first new vehicle I ever purchased, a 1987 Buick Grand National) the problems will eventually be what to drive. I enjoy the VX because it is paid for and the mods are relatively minor in cost. But when the GN is finally done won't I be cheating on one or the other. Perhaps a project of the non-transportation type is in line. For me the deck, grill, pool fiasco that I work on in my spare time is all I need to "get away and stoke the fire that burns" and makes me feel OK with the crappy mileage, becuase after all it is still better to get crappy mileage in a cool ride than get cool mileage in a crappy ride.

Well Said!!! A+ I totally agree! Even if it goes up to $10 a gallon I will pay it for my baby...I just might be walking a lot more than driving...

i did it. in the last week i went car shopping. got it out of my system... those shiny new lasses out there aren't all that. i saw first hand how everything out there under 35k blows... (self admitted vx snob. ha.)

however, looking around still didn't fix the vx mod 'blahs'. honestly, since posting the original thread, i think i was just burned out. time will fix that...

in the meantime, i've decided to dust off the old cannondale mtnbike - strip her of all parts, and rebuild, Rebuild, REBUILD - to bring her back to life. i used to be huge into mtnbikes in the mid/late 90's. fixing up the Cdale will be a nice project - after all I could use something to help step up my health game...

Glad to hear you're sticking to your VX, Biju. It wouldn't be the same next year without you "Woo-Hooing" out the window as we take on the trails at Moab.

I need to get on the moutain bike tip also. My Trek is sitting idle in the garage, as I sit idle in front of my PC. Not good. Not healthy. Not what I intended to do after moving to Reno. But 10 years of lethargic city dwelling has taken a toll on my weight and stamina for sure. I need to break out of this shell. I drank 4 Blue Moons last night. This did not help.

That's me to a "T"... figured a good 'cheating on my proton' project would be the bike. For me - time, job and lethargy have taken it's toll... time to get up, and get out!

Get those Mt bikes all spiffed up and log some miles to get those legs ready....then show up in Moab a day or so early. I plan on renting a Mt bike and spending the Monday before ZuZoo starts two wheeling some trails!

If you get really mod bored, you can start an SAS!

I have a bike in the garage. I've been using it as a parking helper -- it wiggles when I nudge it with a bumper.

I bought a Wii, for a last-ditch attempt to get a little more movement in my life. It is a lot of fun! It has a feature where, after a couple games, it will estimate your "Fitness Age".

Wii says that I'm aged 60.

I give up.

*sigh*
