When was your first...?

I don't know where I saw my first one, but I tailgated this one across the continental divide around this day two years ago. I snapped a hurried picture of it so I could look it up when I got home. I knew I had to have one.

My father ( rest in peace) came home one day in the summer of 99 and said "son ..let go down and see this new thing ISUZU made".We got to the local dealer and.he said" look at that thing ".."It looks like some kind of MAD GERBIL 4X4..."well I fell in love with it ..and next to it was a decked out AMIGO.
i jumped into the seat of the VX and said "HELL YES"..then we looked at the price...OUCH..
well i have'nt seen one since i started to look for one..
I was in a bad car crash and the insurance settlement was coming .and I
figured I would get a 4X4 this time ..and started to look at CJs and came across
a VX on the internet..WOW "Honey I said that's what I want" I told the wife..hehe ..well Now I got one of my Dream cars..

I liked them ever since I saw photos of them at launch. Anyway, the first time I actually saw one in the flesh was when I'd driven 350 miles to see and try one I had no intention of buying at the time.

Well, I didn't buy that one, but I did know that I definitely wanted a VX. I saw a couple in the US too - a silver/dark grey one in Vegas and one with a newsprint-style livery in S/F.

Then I saw one advertised moderately locally to me and... 11 months and 18,000 miles later
