    Every window broken, every tire slashed, mirrors broken, Rock through the sunroof and busted up dash. Shot gun blasts all around.

    But they were nice enough to leave me a message on the tailgate "Chevy's suck"

    And that was the end.

    Thanks for the tips on the window, my new brackets shipped today so hopefully this weekend (probably first of next week) I'll be doing the repair/maintenance/modifications.

    Then I'll probably hit up the local trailer fab shop about building me a Tone style hitch.
    Sorry man, that must of really hit you hard. Its good that you’ve put that behind you and now you have a new truck to love. But when its all said and done, there'er just vehicles.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    That would be cool if the Stig took your VX around the track. You would probably be put up against the Porsche Cayenne.

    LOL...and Choppers.

    And let us not forget all the rest of my extended VX family, we had better include them too...

    Bowties, Blu Ovals, & Rams might be "just hunks of metal & rubber & stuff, but VX's have a soul I'm pretty sure.

    Ok!Ok!Ok! So if a VX had been destroyed it would have bin a homicide seen and not vandalism.

    Yep...CSI's "carmocide" division would have been called.
