    I had a guy peak into my passenger side window last weekend while sitting in a parking lot and ask how I liked "Her". Told him she has treated me well. he responded with "Ya, I see your supercharger decal on the side here. Is that a bluff, cause I know the VehiCROSS didnt come with one, right?"

    I just stared at him for a few seconds in awe. Some total stranger approached me and sparked up a conversation about my VX.... and KNEW what it was. What are the chances?!

    Needless to say, we talked for a couple of minutes and he was pretty excited to see one modded out and in the shape that mine was in. Then again, it turned out his Rodeo was parked right next to me, heh, so he is a close cousin.

    I get a bit of both reactions, too. I get a kick out of it when someone knows about it. And every now and then you get someone who knows it and loves it, and they go crazy.

    Good story - my wife, her cousin, and I were on our way back from a diner and we decided to detour on a local off-road road in town. When we came out of thew woods on the other end, there were a couple of guys standing by their Jeep Cherokee (probably having just driven the same road). They stared at us and the VX, so I stopped to say Hi and to tell them "It's an Isuzu." The guy who was gawking more than the other said, "Yeah - it's the VehiCROSS," and kept staring at it, slack-jawed and drooling. As we drove away, my cuz-in-law pipes up from the back seat, "Dude - I think he wanted to f*uck your truck!"

    But one thing is for sure - once I go to a place to get some work done on the VX, they remember me. I call and identify myself as "the guy with the Isuzu VehiCROSS" and they know EXACTLY who I am!

    They refer to me as the guy with the "yellow thing".
