    "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"

    yea, I know I'm a little late on adding to this thred seeing as how it's over a page and a half now, but something etlsport said caught my eye
    What VX credit card? is this something mbna offers? they do a lot of sports teams, colleges and so forth
    get a lot of stares, mostly from young people, as in their teens, most people that comment assume two things
    1)is that a kia? (no!)
    2)b/c it's small you must get good gas mileage (NNNNNOOOO!!!)

    Wow, I'm sure glad that has never happened to me! People used to love to tease me about my "Fiero" a lot when I had an MR2 though.

    In the past few months, only one guy yelled from next to me at a stop light "I like that thing man, WTH is it?!"
    Other than that it's been ASSumed twice or thrice that's it's a Toyota or Hyundai.

    I think, ironically, I had more people ask about it when it still said 'vehicross' on it, before I debadged.
    Now, they probably don't want to act intrigued...kinda like they're too cool to tell you you have a cool car...but they still look. I think people think it's a Hyundai or something and that that's why I debadged it...because I was ''embarrassed'' or something.
    If they only knew.

    Believe it or not while we were taking a break near a fork on a trail called Hells Revenge in Moab the other day a helicopter flew into view, and then it circled my area a couple times, and then it started hovering above our location. As we started up the trail again it gained altitude and flew ahead of us. Get this... it actually landed near us on the slickrock near the obstacle called The Escalator. Apparently, the old guy in the heli was catching up to his son who was wheeling a red 4-door JK near us. The old guy got out of the heli and climbed into his son's Jeep. We passed them on the trail at this point. The heli took off. But the land lovers watched me do Tip Over Challenge in my VX with amazment and started clapping when I made it up - nobody thought it would make it since I am all open in the diffs. At the end of the trail, I found out they hovered in the heli trying to figure out what kind of "car" it was. He said he really liked it, couldn't beleive it was an Isuzu, and that I do a really good job with it. ...And then I got flipped off by some jack hole the next day!
