    Thumbs up Yep...

    I stiil get people asking me things like:

    o What is it?
    o Is it a Hybrid?
    o Where can I get one?
    o Isn't that the new 2008 __________?

    More so in the spring, but it never really stops. The VX is that unique

    I would say I never go more than three days without someone asking me something about it..............

    I get the "Is that a 2009" question alot.
    Most unique: "Man that thing looks like it made for scube-diving or going completely underwater - does it?"
    Another good one: "Wow I have a lot of respect for guys like you. I cant belive how you can bike and swim all those miles in one day" - Referring to the IronMan decals.

    Got a good one for ya. I got home around 9pm last night from work, and my neighbor came walking across the lawn with another older guy. I was driving the Rex with the VX in the garage. I was getting my backpack out of my car when my neighbor said "Hey Gary, I want you to meet my dad." So we have some small talk for about 2 minutes, mostly about how his dad is in town for a few days staying with him. Eventually, my neighbor says "I was telling my dad about your truck. You mind showing it to him? Words can't explain it."

    So I open the garage door and back the truck out. His dad's first words were "Oh ya, the VehiCROSS. These things are wild. I have a neighbor down in Georgia that has a tricked out one but it looks nowhere as cool as yours. I guess keeping it in a garage helps."

    More blah blah blah car talk and 800 loops around the VX before I had to call it a night so I could actually get some dinner before I passed out on the couch, heh.

    Never gets old.

    WG,

    That's even better than the Power Walker in my neighborhood that finally stopped by the other day & asked if it was some kind of kit & wanted to know what frame I started with.

    I love power walkers. There is this middle-aged lady in my new neighborhood I see jammin down the sidewalk every other day. I don't care if it is good exercise, it just looks so damn rediculous, I bust up everytime I see her! But hey, good for her for getting out and moving!

    tom i will admit.. your VX does look like a body that was stuck on another chassis
