    Canadian Ironman...

    Here in Regina, Sask, Canada, a city of 200,000. We have 4 VX's That I know of, I drive mine all the time. In the Burger King drive through, I had this fello come running up jumping around like he was nuts, bobing and weaving, came around to the drivers side, freaking out. "What is that?" Two days later a guy and his kid, chased me 8 Blocks till I stopped at a friends, he said "im a car nut, and that car is wild! again What is it?" and Last week a guy waved me over excited, cause he was looking for one on EBay, and was considering bidding, but wanted to see one up close, and there I was! Wonder if he bought it?

    short answer to your question, here it happens all the time...

    Wonder how many Ironman edition VX's are in Canada?

    Being in Canada really helps! Not only have they not seen the VX hardly EVER here, but they seem like they're more into cars. When I drive to Toronto I see almost everyone on the freeway checking it out the whole way. Like even old ladies and stuff. People even take pictures! In Detroit people are so into their phone-calls they don't even notice the road, let alone other cars.

    Its funny to me how many people in FJ's check it out and are always trying to see what it is, especially while driving down the road.

    i notice when i go to touristy spots i get it even more.. especially at the beach.. seems that everytime i am within like 15 miles of the beach i get a stare on every block.. i think that when people are away from home/out of their element they are looking for new and different things already so the VX stands out even more

    Last year i drove my brother-in-law to a nissan dealership to have his almost new 2006 pathfinder delivered & as soon i pulled into the lot all the potencial buyers went after the VX standing right next to 2008 murano that was recently purchased,many of them began to ask the sales men if that is the new isuzu,the sales men were like "WHAT NEW ISUZU ? WE HAVE NO ISUZU HERE " yes the new isuzu parked right along the new murano the customers answered.

    When the sales men went out side & saw the VX they were like "WOW ! WTH IS THAT ? Because my VX didn't had the vehicross badges they were wondering & asking who's the owner.

    The dealership's manager which for my surprise was a beautyfull young lady named cynthia along with few customers came asking me questions,i became a sales man,very funny though sharing all the info with them & the VX history My brother-in-law was like : Here you go .......again

    Many of them was surprised when they knew that our VX won the autralian cross country rally & the paris-to-dakar rally.

    My brother-in-law overheard a girl asking his boyfriend,"honey,do you really want to have that ugly murano (LOL),look at that one silver truck (VX) with the funny looking head lights,i love it.

    The manager took few pics with her cell few minutes before i drove off the lot & wisper to me " hey,i'll love to get one of those" of course my first toughts were VEHICROSS.INFO.check us out i told her "got you,thanks" she added.

    One thing for sure no matter how old our VX's goes down the road it'll keep amazing many people for years to come.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Wink test results revealed: Fireman like VX's...:-)

    Too funny....I was waiting for a break in traffic to pull out of a Burger King when a big, red firetruck goes by (returning to fire department) and I happened to glance at the crew compartment (windows tinted but you could see silhouettes of firemen) and all the firehats collectively turned and drew a bead on my VX as the firetruck drove by! made me chuckle out loud. :laughg:
