If you decided to retire your VX....

[deermagnet]

I plan on having my VX as my daily driver for many more years. I'll never willingly give up the VX experience, the life. If it were stolen or wrecked I would get the vehicle I traded to get my VX. A Dodge Ram 4X4 pick-up, regular cab, short bed.

There is no other street legal vehicle that can give me that king-of-the-road feeling like a Dodge Ram. To be behind the wheel of that truck was simply awesome. It was amazingly comfortable, so quiet, so powerful, so smooth riding, so gorgeous inside and out. My dad used to say it was like a Cadillac. The steering had such a fantastic feel to it. Just making a simple turn at a street corner was a pleasure. That was back in the day, circa '96. I can't even imagine how nice the new ones are now.

Well my daughter turns 14 next month so she might slide into the drivers seat of the VX, and I would most likely go with a QuadCab Full Size Chevy or an Toyota FJ Crusier. By the next 2 years I should be able to get a good deal on a 07 FJ... But the smartest bet would be the Chevy, it will hold it's value longer...

Well the 09 Ram 1500 has a coil over suspension like the VX. (1st year for it) good choice, I'm leaning toward the H3 or the FJ. but not eagerly looking forward to a new payment. so the economy is gonna have to turn around..

on a side note, a 70 3/4 ton 4wd GMC wouldnt be bad

I love the 2 door sports utility vehicle and love the Isuzu Amigo, Rodeo Sport and VX. Unfortunately, I do not see anyone making a 2 door SUV.
I might do a 180. I have always wanted a 1970 or 1971 Plymouth Baracuda
426 Hemi, lime green convertible. I would have to hit the lottery for that car.

In staying with the issue of an off-road vehicle....the one option that appears of interest is a Toyota Tacoma 4X4. But so far that's the only one that hits my fancy yet pales relative to the fondness I have towards the VX

I've been toying around with the idea of selling the VX due to our new baby. (Pull in the reigns 99VC... not decided.. YET... LOL) Need a 4 door, but want 4x4 ability too. My philosophy is, if I'm going to get rid of the VX, the next vehicle better have more power. My wife has an 05 Grand Cherokee Laredo/4x4 V8. We both love it. So, I'm considering a Grand Cherokee Limited/Hemi. Thought about the FJ Cruiser, but the power just isn't enough of a difference from the VX, and it's not a "true" 4 door. My second thought is the Trail Blazer SS 4wd. It has the cool factor (all black), Corvette power, same if not better economy, and is easy to get parts for.

To be honest the vehicules i'll give up my VX for is the grand cherokee SRT8 or tahoe Z71

In the luxury side the ACURA RDX,INFINITI FX35 & BMW X5.

I always loved the two doors SUV's if a find a tahoe or yukon 2 doors with decent mileage & pristine conds i'll make a deal.

If they still are making the murnano then I will likely get that or a Jeep Wrangler.

I havent seen any muranos beefed up though. There is a White oe in my complex that looks nice.

Does anyone feel dirty thinking about this?
