    I get questions about it weekly - have since I bought it in 2001. Just had someone in the elevator (of my building) yesterday ask me about it. I even had someone from HP who was in town for the day email me about it (I was parked at the mall and he came out of a restaurant, saw the VX and did a web search when he got back to his computer - he knew it was mine from the website where the custom plate is posted).

    Now that's some detective work!
    What website are you referring to?

    Yeah sometimes I get used to people staring and asking and don't even notice until I take some fancy BMW or Infinity out of the garage at work and notice that nobody's looking at me. I kinda feel like I suddenly got old and ugly and long to get back in my truck that makes guys check me out and girls giggle and swoon. Once I was taking my old neighbor lady out to eat and she said that the two dudes walking down the sidewalk were staring at her and making her nervous, and I said, don't worry, it's just the car. She said she didn't think so. Then they did the window roll gesture and said "what the heck is that" and I said "told you so!".

    Having a bunch of VXes in one place always draws attention. You should come to Moab and see for yourself!

    My website:
    http://www.wildtoys.com/vehicross/

    If you google "vehicross atlanta" my site comes up, first my CarDomain listing after Dave Sirkin, then my website. I guess he clicked on my website and saw the license plate.

    On Saturday, my son and I were heading up North to visit family. We were stopped at a light and I noticed in my rear view that the guys in the pickup behind me were taking pictures of the back of my vx. Next light up they were beside us taking more pics, then gave a thumbs up and were gone. I get comments about the vx at least once a week. Gotta love it!

    mines been mostly in hibernation (keep the road salt off!) during this winter, but, I did drive it last night to a restaurant/bar in town and the local girl who works there started asking me questions about it...acted like she wants to buy one...my buddy told her "good luck finding one"...lol.
