Mission to Mars, the VX02. That was I believe the first. I can remember maybe then seeing a live VX only a few times on the road for years after that. Never really thought too much of it since I couldn't afford one.
When I switched jobs in 2002 I needed a new car and was thinking about a Rodeo Sport... and there sat my VX on the lot. All new with 24 miles on it, just waiting for me this whole time. Took about 2 seconds to make the decision to buy it.
