When was your first...?

[nocturnalVX]

I'm starting to notice a trend. Most 'first experiences' were with a Proton.

Yeah, the protons do all the marketing.

My first sighting was at the 2001 auto show. I needed something more practical than my Fiero & motorcycles, so I went to there with a work buddy (and a $25,000 price limit) to shop for something new. I had a friend working at Volo's antique car display, and stopped by to say hello. We were talking about what I was looking for in a new vehicle (AWD, performance, looks, etc.) and she told me to check out the VehiCROSS. I had never even heard of it before, but when I saw that shiny Proton VX roped off from the teeming masses & up high on its pedestal... I had to check it out. Nothing else came close, and (with the sale of my Fiero balancing out the added cost) I figured I had to get one. The local dealers didn't have many (or any), but I test drove an Ironman and was hooked. I told the sales guy that if he could get me an Ebony with the black & grey interior like the Proton we'd have a deal! I got my own '01 VX in July, and have spent way more than $25,000 on it.

While I am not 100% sure, I think the first live VX I saw was Gill's Ebony in Chicago. I then looked online and saw "Daver's" black VX and from that point on, always loved em.

Bart,

Why did Daver's make you fall in love and not Gill's?

Waitta minit ... I don't wanna know.

I'm glad I had a role in getting someone else addicted! We have a great crew here.
