Original Owner?.. Whats your Mileage?

[rickshaw]

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.

Original Owner. Purchase in Nov 2001. 111500 miles, and no major problems. CD and windows still work, and I got 18.2 mpg on my last tank. I've never been off-roading (that video on youtube was pure fabrication.) Daily driver...90 miles round trip. Mobil1 oil and filter since the first oil change. Looks, runs, and performs as good as new.

In less than a year we could see someone proudly proclaim themselves as the first ten year VX original owner in North America. Who will it be?

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.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. We have a candidate for the first ten year honor, but can he hold on till then?

Did anyone else buy in 4/99?

Dave (Cyrk) and Carl (Carlymac) haven't chimed in but their 99s should be close if not the oldest still owned. I know Carl ordered his before they were available. Neither have posted much lately. Plus Grandpa Bob still have his 99 I believe (his was the prototype for the Alpine supercharger kit).

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.
