    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?

    I don't think I've told you guys this one:-

    I had parked particularly "creatively" in Cardiff one evening whilst looking at flats to rent for work. I was waiting for the letting agent a few metres from the VX and was watching the reactions of bystanders. In guy on a mountain bike did two laps trying to work out what it was and a big black guy came across saying "nice car man, nice car - good to see something different!" which i took as a huge compliment

    Oh yeah, I'm currently waiting on a new windscreen arriving from Japan but to make sure they were going to order up the right thing I had to go to the Auto Windscreens depot (again in Cardiff - I've been spending a LOAD of time there...) whilst they worked out if it could be from something else (no such luck ). "Yeah yeah, bring it into the workshop", they say.

    In I drive, with the window down (what's the point in it making all the noise if you can't enjoy it in a confined space occasionally!) and all I hear is "What the hell is that?" and the response from one of the other guys, "That's one hell of a car, that's what that is!"

    Stuff like that make it worth the frustration when you have silly things go wrong...

    I still constantly get asked about it - almost to the point of being obnoxious. Most recently we had a few guys from our Nebraska office in town and they swarmed all over my proton. When I told our CEO about the vid showing a VX pulling a stuck FJCruiser he didn't believe me (he's got an FJ) - then I showed him the vid and he shut up about it. Funny.

    Just to prove, again, how timeless the design on the Dragon is:
    Had a guy waiting for me outside the store today asking if the VX was a 2009 model year vehicle....:bgwg:
    And that was with all the recent grime from driving on slushy/melty/snowy roads!
