Does this still happen to everyone???

i notice when i go to touristy spots i get it even more.. especially at the beach.. seems that everytime i am within like 15 miles of the beach i get a stare on every block.. i think that when people are away from home/out of their element they are looking for new and different things already so the VX stands out even more

I've been driving my new Camaro half the summer and have gotten a fair amount of attention to be sure but when I stuck it in the garage last week and got out the VX for the winter I remembered what it's like to be the object of fascination for half the other drivers on the road again. Just crazy to still be getting the stares and comments in a nine year old truck!

Glad to see I'm not alone when it comes to giving passengers a short hike to the curb when I parallel park.

At work, I park about 20' from the building (50' from my desk) right in front of a large window, so I can keep an eye on Suzy all night.
Also, I have a camera on her at all times, that I can zoom in close enough that I can see the holes in my spiffy new rotors.
We're located on a fairly well traveled street, & it's not unusual for cars to pull in to my parking lot & circle the VX several times, sometimes they even stop & get out for a closer inspection.

Happens to me all the time.

Some guy followed me to Walmart the other day to ask about the Proton. Then he tried to convince me that I needed to add fender flares. That ... won't ... happen!!!

ive noticed that going to typical vacation spots draws more attention to the VX.. was in cape may new jersey and got 4-5 comments in one day.. rehoboth beach, delaware seemed like every 3rd person walking down the street was looking the whole way down the street, i think people look more closely at their surroundings when on vacation/ somewhere they arent familiar with, so the vx sticks out even more

ya ever tried camping in a packed campground with a vx? My girlfriend got tired of answering all the questions when I was not around

Tonight I was driving around on my first break (2:15-2:30 AM) & got pulled over for a burned out brake light.

The officer was WAY cool, & even said "I don't care about the loud muffler or anything else, this truck is just plain SWEET!" Then went on to talk a bit about his offroad experiences & ask where I liked to go etc.

I told him about Moab & Gilbert & the light would be fixed tomorrow.

Ya just gotta having the opprotunity to drive the coolest PUV ever made...

Some people left notes on my windshield asking where to get one and the year. I said, this never happen to me with any other car. VX rules!!!!

I was filling up at a local gas station a few days ago, and a guy in a Yellow Nissan Xterra pulled up along side me on his way out and wanted to know what my VX was, where and how much he could get one for. He said it was the coolest looking truck he had ever seen...

I think he was a little bummed he bought the Nissan, and then realized he should have bought a VX!

got held up for 15 minutes in the carpark today by a guy who used to own a silver VX. he loved the mods and the off road bits and couldn't believe how cheap i got it for (guess he owned his a few years ago) he said he missed his and it was a great motor!! It must have been a 1 to 1,000,000 chance to bump into this guy, i mean how many previous owners are likely to be in England!!! and how many stood looking longingly at my VX, lol

Was he a Yank?

And on the second point, I'd say ALL former VX owners would look longingly...

Some might even start crying......

Today I had a guy at the convenience store say, "Hey, that's the car that can drive under water isn't it!". I said, "Yeah but only in fresh water not salt water." I think he was picking up another 12-pack.

Tuesday, a fellow in a full-size jacked up p/u with massive wheels drove across the parking lot of a local shopping center to ask about my "new 2009" that he hadn't seen before, referring to my 10-year-old VX.
