Does this still happen to everyone???

Had a funny one yesterday.

Got off the highway in my WRX and came to the first light on my way for my evening Starbucks coffee. Sitting at the light, I dropped my window and lit up a smoke. Exiting the highway, there was a cop that had been behind me for a few miles, and he stopped in the lane right next to me. His passenger side window comes down and an older gentleman, whom I didnt recognize, says "Hey, don't you ever drive that ISUZU to work anymore? Man, I miss seeing that thing. It's VERY cool!"

I had to stop and think for a minute cause I was like "Who IS this guy? Do I know him?"

I responded "You mean the black VehiCROSS?"

He says, "Ya, I used to see you nearly everyday in it. Now I just see you driving that (nods his head to my car).

Still not really knowing who he was or how he knew who I even was, I just said "Well, I'll bring it out more often on weekdays just for you then."

He winked and gave me a thumbs up.

Later on last night, it dawned on me that he was the cop that used to live in the condo complex I moved from a couple years ago and used to wave to when I saw him leaving the lot in the mornings, heh.

Small world.

Eric,

Unfortunately goin up to check on BIL who just got out of the hospital. Not anticipating any oportunity this trip. We'll try to carve out some time on the next trip (prolly late Spring/early Summer). Been talking to Wifey about checking out that haunted Fort up there (name escapes me at the moment but recently investigated by TAPS).

Friday afternoon as I was gassing up for the trip, a guy walked up & asked if my Proton was a pimped out Amigo. I almost decked him

While in Essington PA, gassing up again (Yup - gas mileage that bad) a guy pulled up to the pump next to me & said that he was glad I had stopped. His son (10 or 11 years old) was yelling at him to chase me down to find out what it was.

Other than that it was just a matter of seeing people walking around it and checking it out each time I parked & walked away.

Sorry we couldn't meet up this trip Eric. See you at Luray in a few weeks tho. Wifey is interested in visiting Fort Mifflin (SP?) this summer as well.

w00t! Today I was filling up my tank next to a guy who was filling up his H2. He made a point to come over and ask me about the VX. Said he really liked my roof rack and the general look of the truck. He also said he was in the automotive biz and has never seen one. We chatted for a minute and ended with, "Man, I love my VehiCROSS, but $58.02 to fill up! This is killing me!". His reply, "Try $122! "

Today as usuall i had one of those paratransit drivers waving at me just to ask me where's a isuzu dealer so he can have a test drive in one "OF THOSE SUV " or what ever is that.

When i told him that my "WHATEVER IS THAT" is an 1999 isuzu vehicross he said : Are you kidding ? that looks damn new & the design is off the hook & very updated.

When he look at the interior & see the recaro seats he didn't believe it came with it as OEM seats.

He ask me : So is hard to find one of those ? because i never saw one before

I told him Well,it could be hard as finding a dollar bill over the floor

He : Damn,i never found a dollar bill over the floor

However i give him our web site board info so he can take a look at

When Cari and I were house sitting we came up on a really nice Toyota pick up and as I was saying that was nice to Cari we both looked at the drive and could clearly see him say to his buddies "what the F*$% is that."

No one comes up to me when I am alone. I get lots of looks but not much else. I think the Silver just blends a little too much.

Yeah,you right about the silver color.

That's why i've being wondering about painting in metallic black or go much further.................. bright copper or rainbow .

What do you think'bout that ?

Well i think you would have the one and ONLY rainbow color VX

[nfpgasmask]

Well, depending on your orientation, you might give the wrong impression with a rainbow colored VX. But, if that is the idea, then go for it!

Too late. As with most original ideas around these parts... rainbow has already been done.
