Does this still happen to everyone???

I get these two.....

1. Aww, that is SUCH a cute car!

2. So, is that a suzuki ? or that car that has the same ribs as the vx...(at a loss as to what its called at the moment). See! It irritates me so much I have taken it out of my mind!


......... at any rate, they both suck!

I haven't seen another VX in this neck of the woods (San Joaquin Valley, California) in 3-4 years. Folks frequently stop to take a closer look, occasionally ask questions, etc. Yesterday, saw a Jeep slowly drive a loop around my VX in the parking lot of a Target store.

We went to the GMC/Saturn dealer here in Ontario to look at the new Saturn Vue Redline and we were swarmed by salesmen that didn't care at all about selling us a car, they just wanted to see the VX. They used to be the Isuzu dealer and were still bitter and frustrated that then never got the VX there and the older ones were telling the new ones all about it etc. The were begging me to bring it back if I ever decided to trade it in as I left.

Another one tonight - the funny thing is that it was almost the exact scenario I described in the letter to Car & Driver...

Pull into the grocery store, park, and get out. An old guy walking past is all smiles and checkign the VX and asks if it's a four or a six (an odd question considering the sound of my Flowmaster exhaust). I tell him it's a supercharged six, and he likes that plenty. "Nice! Really neat truck!" he replies. And as we're walking to the entrance, I realize he thinks it's new. "Want to know something else you'll find interesting?" He turns and says, "Yeah, what's that?"

"It's a 1999."





"You've got to be kidding me!" he finally says after forcing the improbable information through his head. "Wow, you've taken great care of that thing!"

Everyone was smiling, especially my wife, who had just read the C&D letter before we left for the supermarket.

I caught two guys trying not to look this morning as they were getting into the FJ they were driving.

thats my favorite! i was behind a tahoe and the guys in it were turned almost all the way around trying to snap pictures.. so being the arrogant #%$^ that i am.. i went around and hung my rear bumper right infront of their front bumper .. as i drove past they were in the seats looking straight forward.. as soon as i passed them the camera came back out!

My proton has tinted door windows (illegal in Cali) and I roll around half open all the time. (And with no seatbelt) and I get cops looking at me and giving me thumbs up and stuff. I know they see the tint and me with out my belt, but I don't get pulled over in the bee.
does anyone else get the same thing?
(I'm knocking on wood as I type this BTW.) LOL

I actually got pulled over the other day while driving the GF's car for speeding on the freeway. The Highway patrol strolled up, asked how fast I thought I was going. I replied within 5 mph of what his radar told him. He then asked if I needed a ticket or if a warning would suffice. I said warning, please. He looked down and pointed to an Iron maiden CD I had on the passanger seat and asked if I was listening to that while I was flying down the road, to which I replied affirmative!
So I am not sure if it was my honesty about the speed (85mph) or the maiden CD that got me the warining.
First time for everthing, I guess....
