He said, "Is it a normal vehicle?". I have no idea what he really meant by the question but I enthusiastically denied that it was and he let me go! It's always something when you drive a VX.
    Last week my brother-in-law to be drove my VX to get some beers & undercovers pulled him asking question about the VX.

    I laugh 'till i pissed my self because he told me that one of the cops came out asking the common question :

    Sr,what's this ?

    It's a isuzu,officer.

    Where it comes from ?

    Well,is from japan

    Another officer came foward & say : I told you,got to be a japanese,looks to freacking cool

    My brother-in-law told me: "Gustavo, i ain't driving that again,i knew it boost attention,it does & very fast,i went just 6 blocks away & looks what happens
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Too funny...back in the day, that would have made a great TV ad, with the message at the end in big bold letters...

    VehiCROSS...not your brother in laws SUV

    Jajajaja yeah you right !

    I park the VX in the parkway facing the street & sometimes i see people who drive or walk by stearing at it from inside the house.

    Once an driver from the city's MTA bus actually step by chatting with a passenger about it

    Take care Ldub

    Sometimes when I go to lunch, I like to park where I can see Suzy from inside the resturaunt (who am I kidding...Mc Fatburger..) & watch the gawkers while I eat...it can be VERY entertaining.

    It's gotten to a point where I can read their lips when they ask themselves the most common question...whattinnahell IS that thing???

    Happened to me yesterday - needed a quick lunch, so my buddy and I ran up to BK just up the street from work. People inside and outside were scoping out the VX!

    I almost think people are getting more fascinated with it as the years go by...

    Same here. And it still seems to surprise people the most when I get to the part about it being a 2001.

    Now and then I get asked if my '99 is a newly released model.

    Heheheh - I get to tell them it's a '99 - a 28.57% greater effect!

    Seriously - next year it will be officially 10 years old. Wow. That is going to make people freak out.

    haha dub.. i do that too.. my girlfriend and some of my best friends know that when we go into a place where we can seat our selves.. we always take the view of the VX... i do it more to keep an eye on my baby so nobody hits it with a door or anything.. but it is funny to see the gawkers..

    had a couple guys in a bmw 5 series gawk as they passed me on the highway yesterday (normally i dont let people pass me.. but it was pouring down rain.. and i was doing 70 as it was.. i figured i would let them go)
