    Jajajaja yeah you right !

    I park the VX in the parkway facing the street & sometimes i see people who drive or walk by stearing at it from inside the house.

    Once an driver from the city's MTA bus actually step by chatting with a passenger about it

    Take care Ldub

    Sometimes when I go to lunch, I like to park where I can see Suzy from inside the resturaunt (who am I kidding...Mc Fatburger..) & watch the gawkers while I eat...it can be VERY entertaining.

    It's gotten to a point where I can read their lips when they ask themselves the most common question...whattinnahell IS that thing???

    Happened to me yesterday - needed a quick lunch, so my buddy and I ran up to BK just up the street from work. People inside and outside were scoping out the VX!

    I almost think people are getting more fascinated with it as the years go by...

    Same here. And it still seems to surprise people the most when I get to the part about it being a 2001.

    Now and then I get asked if my '99 is a newly released model.

    I went to what used to be the Isuzu dealer here in Canada today for a new EGR valve and they couldn't believe their eyes. They always heard of it but everyone that worked in the whole dealership and service dept came to the garage to marvel at the VX's curves. They were treating it like such a celebrity that I almost thought the repair was going to be free.
    Canadian VXer!

    Heheheh - I get to tell them it's a '99 - a 28.57% greater effect!

    Seriously - next year it will be officially 10 years old. Wow. That is going to make people freak out.

    Last night I pulled into a Waffle House around midnight and there was a mazda3 full of girls who were gawking/giggling/pointing. Shame they were half-way out of the parking lot before I noticed that they were kinda cute

    I wonder if it has anything to do with the tail I have on my VX?

    haha dub.. i do that too.. my girlfriend and some of my best friends know that when we go into a place where we can seat our selves.. we always take the view of the VX... i do it more to keep an eye on my baby so nobody hits it with a door or anything.. but it is funny to see the gawkers..

    had a couple guys in a bmw 5 series gawk as they passed me on the highway yesterday (normally i dont let people pass me.. but it was pouring down rain.. and i was doing 70 as it was.. i figured i would let them go)
