Is it ever going to look old? Are you guys still getting these comments every day? (if not go wash it!)
    Actually, its been a while since anyone inquired about my VX. For like the first 6 months I was in Reno, I got a lot of comments. I think everyone is used to it by now!! :P

    Did you say you windexed the entire VX???

    Yeah I ran it thru the carwash twice and it still had a black spotty film on it from three months of driving in the salt that would only come off with Windex so I did it! It's gleaming now! And I think it's snowing tonight.

    i gets stares often, not really inquires recently, most recent inquiry was at a bar last week, i used my VX credit card and the bartender was like wow that things bad--- what is it and we got to talkin about it (another vxer was with me too so we gave him the brief history and he told us about his restored ford pickup

    started my new job last week, turns out one guy who works in the department across from me is a VX lover and tried to get another co-worker to buy a VX a couple years ago! after looking at mine and goin for a quick spin, hes back in the market for one and looking at the proton in fla!
