ya, thats interesting viewpoint for sure...i can see where you are coming from on that...
the 4 door thing isnt an issue for me because my gf has a 4 door corolla (it is actually bigger than you think on the inside, im 6'2" 215 and i fit with no problem)
she REALLY wants a VX (although she wants to paint it pink) and im thinking it could be fun to have a collectors VX and an offroad VX...
the banging it up thing i can agree with though...i would hate to have my VX all banged up...but if it was offroad oriented and painted flat black...eventually i would just make an exo-skeleton on it to keep the glass in one peice (as much as possible)....
i dunno, im just getting to the point where its like, either i sell it now and get what i can out of it or i just make it into what i want.....
