When was your first...?

Sighting of the Vx? I am sure we all remember where we were and what we were doing. Love at first sight!!

I was living in Blacksburg, Va. year- 1999 ... Mind you I was a college student who could barely afford the ramen noodles needed to sustain me...

Funny thing, I was there at the same time (graduated 2001). I don't remember much from that year that didn't involve football.

I didn't actually see a VX in person until 2004/5 when I saw one on a used car lot in Fredericksburg, VA - but I instantly recognized it from a TV commerical I had seen 5 years earlier (I'm sure the Isuzu marketing department would be proud). I stopped by, took it out for a test drive, and was hooked. Unfortunately I couldn't afford to buy one at the time, but this spring I finally had the opportunity to pick up my Foxfire VX. (The fact that I went to a college with maroon as a school color had everything to do with picking the Foxfire).

An interesting side note: the VX on the car lot was also a Foxfire, which means that though only 210 were made, I actually saw it before I ever saw a silver one.

Mav - I think I test drove that same VX (I was holding out for a Proton tho).

I saw a Silver VX from behind on 610N here in Houston in 1999 and saw the massive ISUZU on the back and I had to learn more about this sweet vehicle, then I remembered there being an Isuzu dealership out on 290W which was the #1 way I travel out of town because of my family in Waco and then later a girlfriend I was dating at Texas A&M. So almost everytime I drove that way I would either exit and stop and look at the 3 or so they had on the lot or take the exit and drive by slow, or if I didn't have time I would just stare as I passed by on the highway. I was a college athlete at the time and was on a fixed stipend from the University and could not make that much money during the summers, so the VX was out of my price range at the time, so I knew I would just have to wait, but every time I saw one on the roads I would stop and stare and be completely jealous, but in Dec 2004 when I was debating buying my dad's '67 Mustang Conv from him that we restored as a 2nd car, my daily driver was totaled while it was parked in front of a house I was teaching a youth bible study in, so I was forced to buy my first car after college and it had to be a VX! So I found one online in Chicago that was an Ebony (by far my favorite VX color) with the 285/60-18 Terra Grapplers already on it, and I knew I had found my next car, I got a loan from State Farm, got a one way plane ticket and picked up my dream vehicle and drove it home listening to the PV1 and loving it the whole way.

Ah yes!! Back when Micheal Vic was a good football player and not a bad dog fighter : P That was when I actually started watching football. We always won!! : ) Congrats on your foxfire, they are a rare breed.
