Does this still happen to everyone???

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.

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:

I was filling fuel last night, when an older, stalkerish looking guy, pulled up at the next pump. He just sat there & stared, he finally rolled down his passenger side window & asked the usual questions. After he had some answers, he just drove away, didn't buy gas.
As an aside, he had a huge mound of butts in his ashtray, easily 6" tall, adding to his "stalkerish" persona.
Went inside to pay & a guy stopped me at the door & asked the usual Q's.
At the checkout counter, all three cashiers had questions of their own.

I think that's a new record for Suzy, five interested parties @ one stop.

Was at Trader Joes last week - two guys with a cart stopped dead to stare at the VX. Later as I was checking out they ran up to me and started a conversation with the usual questions - seems they both work there and saw the truck the last time I was shopping TJs - they couldn't believe it was built in 2001.

Yesterday I had someone come up to me in the parking lot at work to ask if the truck was new - he hadn't seen one before and was blown away - he couldn't believe it was a 2001 either.
