Why are the Fans of the VX Community living us.

[WormGod]

I will be honest, I have been considering selling mine.

I will ONLY sell to a member here though. I dont trust just anyone with the money to take possession. If and when it happens, it will be posted here.

I made my wife wait entirely too long for her Proton. We three anticipate a long and happy life together. I can't imagine a better set up than the Proton with matching SeaDoos behind & my beautiful wife in the passenger seat. I can live with the gas mileage since the VX is insured for PLEASURE use only.

'Sides, I have to maintain my reputation for keeping vehicles WAY beyond their useful life (case in point - 93 TLC still in use with 1/4 million miles on it).

I just need to start designing the hoist mechanism to lift my sorry arse into a lifted VX when I get old & feeble (sp?).

Fun to drive but a pain in the asss at the pump!

Can't wait to sell mine and do other things with the money I save!!!

As far as getting attention with my car... I got over that need years ago. I want utilitarian but frugal on the gas.

sorry, I get the message here about people selling their VX's etc etc etc..., but don't understand the title of this thread....?? what is the english translation?

This is turning out to be a funny thread.

I got $8000 left on my VX note. As soon as it is paid off, I will buy another vehicle that is good on gas for commuting. The VX stays in the garage. There is no need to sell such a beautiful, one of a kind vehicle if I don't have to.

Why is the VX community breaking down? Why are the fans of the VX leaving us? Why are so many people in this fine VX community leaving us by selling their VX's, never to look back again?

Yes but the exact title reads : "Why are the Fans of the VX Community living us." Two problems are this is a question and should have a question mark and "living" is probably supposed to be "leaving". Yeah the title makes no sense as it is, but we know what was intended and the subjects of the replies supports this.

I believe the intended title would read : "Why are the Fans of the VX Community LEAVING us?"

As for me I have thought about selling the VX especially after spending $4k on the transmission but each time I drive it and people stare or give it nicknames like the moon buggy or the halo car it just makes the car worth hanging onto.

Is this anybody's on Ebay?

Thanks, Teach. And I thought I was anal!

Thanks, Dino.

It's owners like you that made muscle cars affordable to the little guys like me back in the 70s. I acquired my worn out Torino Cobra in '76 when everybody was jumping ship for 4-cylinder imports. It was my daily driver for 15 years. It more than earned it's place in my garage.

In 1993 it was "retired", and I started driving the old '82 Mustang GT every day. In 1998 I lent that to my daughter and drove a Lincoln Mk8 LSC, until I traded that in on the VX. SOOOO, the VX was my first "economy car". I never calculated gas mileage, and never will. (OK, it's been ~17 the last 5 tanks.)

I drive what I like, and I like the VX. There is nothing to compare. I did shop around for a REAL economy car last year, but then started working from home more than commuting. Didn't make sense to buy another car. Plus, I never found anything that tripped my trigger like the VX.

Will I ever sell my VX... maybe. But, like WormGod, it will be to someone who truly appreciates this fine automobile!
