    I'm the Original Owner of #0467, I bought it Brand New back in 9/02 from M'Lady Isuzu, Crystal Lake, IL. I think there were only 7 New ones left in the country at the time. I had it shipped 2000 miles to the West Coast. I can remember two weeks after I got it was my first Vehicross Meet (LA meet 11/02).
    Found some pics of the meet on Naoki's site.

    A few years before I got the VX I was commuting 120 miles a day to work and back. After 3 years I said enough of that and moved to a smaller house only 7 miles from work. That's why my VX only has 25K on it.

    Original owner from April 99 with 119,000 every day miles. Had the urge the other day for something new, but alas that passed again.

    I bought my '01 Dragon new in '02 but sold to Velvis a few years ago with about 45K miles. 2nd owner of our IronMan which had 95K miles at purchase and is now at about 145K miles. The Ebony has about 47K miles, and I think I'm the 3rd owner there as I don't recall if Velvis (the PO) was 1st or 2nd.

    Original owner, bought new in Sept 2002. Only have 36,000 mi. Daily driver, but work from home most the time and drive the Ninja anytime the weather permits. Besides my wipers needing some paint work, my hood has cracked this winter, and the windows a bit slow... everything else no problems at all.
