Does this still happen to everyone???

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.

That's usually the response I get too. As a matter of fact, I try to make it a point to say that my VX is a 2001 just to watch the reaction.

I stiil get people asking me things like:

o What is it?
o Is it a Hybrid?
o Where can I get one?
o Isn't that the new 2008 __________?

More so in the spring, but it never really stops. The VX is that unique

I would say I never go more than three days without someone asking me something about it..............

I get the "Is that a 2009" question alot.
Most unique: "Man that thing looks like it made for scube-diving or going completely underwater - does it?"
Another good one: "Wow I have a lot of respect for guys like you. I cant belive how you can bike and swim all those miles in one day" - Referring to the IronMan decals.

Got a good one for ya. I got home around 9pm last night from work, and my neighbor came walking across the lawn with another older guy. I was driving the Rex with the VX in the garage. I was getting my backpack out of my car when my neighbor said "Hey Gary, I want you to meet my dad." So we have some small talk for about 2 minutes, mostly about how his dad is in town for a few days staying with him. Eventually, my neighbor says "I was telling my dad about your truck. You mind showing it to him? Words can't explain it."

So I open the garage door and back the truck out. His dad's first words were "Oh ya, the VehiCROSS. These things are wild. I have a neighbor down in Georgia that has a tricked out one but it looks nowhere as cool as yours. I guess keeping it in a garage helps."

More blah blah blah car talk and 800 loops around the VX before I had to call it a night so I could actually get some dinner before I passed out on the couch, heh.

Never gets old.

WG,

That's even better than the Power Walker in my neighborhood that finally stopped by the other day & asked if it was some kind of kit & wanted to know what frame I started with.

I love power walkers. There is this middle-aged lady in my new neighborhood I see jammin down the sidewalk every other day. I don't care if it is good exercise, it just looks so damn rediculous, I bust up everytime I see her! But hey, good for her for getting out and moving!

tom i will admit.. your VX does look like a body that was stuck on another chassis

i recently went down to mexico to this resort there. While i was right inside the lobby i saw people walking out to my car crowding around it, then the receptionist asked me what it was, if it was new or coming out. At least once a day or every other day someone either says it's a hot truck or asks me what it is and whatnot.

Yesterday a guy told me it looked like a tonka truck on steroids. I just stared at him ,then he asked if I just got it. I told him that it is a 2008 Isuzu and he could get one at the Isuzu dealership. Thats my usual reply and most of the comments come after I wash my vehicross.

You are a bad person
First I can see someone searching for the ever dwindling dealership, then possibly finding one and asking for the VX...
Classic!
Keep up the good work!

I need to take the “Handling by Lotus” emblem off my VX. Ever sins I put it on the groups of people gathering around my VX has stopped. I see people walk up and right when they see Lotus they walk away.

Here in Regina, Sask, Canada, a city of 200,000. We have 4 VX's That I know of, I drive mine all the time. In the Burger King drive through, I had this fello come running up jumping around like he was nuts, bobing and weaving, came around to the drivers side, freaking out. "What is that?" Two days later a guy and his kid, chased me 8 Blocks till I stopped at a friends, he said "im a car nut, and that car is wild! again What is it?" and Last week a guy waved me over excited, cause he was looking for one on EBay, and was considering bidding, but wanted to see one up close, and there I was! Wonder if he bought it?

short answer to your question, here it happens all the time...

Wonder how many Ironman edition VX's are in Canada?

[pbkid]

hmmm, i almost never get that anymore lol....

could it be because of the dented up fender???

or do i need to clean it and put flashy rims on it???

[mrtew]

Being in Canada really helps! Not only have they not seen the VX hardly EVER here, but they seem like they're more into cars. When I drive to Toronto I see almost everyone on the freeway checking it out the whole way. Like even old ladies and stuff. People even take pictures! In Detroit people are so into their phone-calls they don't even notice the road, let alone other cars.

[CrnCnn]

Its funny to me how many people in FJ's check it out and are always trying to see what it is, especially while driving down the road.
