IRS(not I.R.S.) in VX

[4X4 UFO]

I owned a Jeep CJ-5 for a long time. I used it to haul firewood, and it was fun as a daily driver. I've always liked two seaters, and I owned a highly modified Fiero for a long time also. Obviously, I like the feel of a stiffly sprung, short wheelbase ride. The problem with any "sports car" is that I always want to drive it "enthusiastically". In order to enjoy the Fiero, I was collecting speeding tickets. Even at my advanced age, that eventually costs too much in insurance payments. However, I still want a vehicle that handles well at a pretty good clip on the road. I'm not off road a lot, but we get some snow and ice here. The VX is great because it will go anywhere, and it is an absolute blast to drive, even at speeds below 80 or 90. I would never soften up the suspension, because one thing I dislike most in a vehicle is the feeling that you're sitting on someone's couch while you're driving it! I like the VX because it does a lot of things very well. Just my two cents!

You got speeding tickets in a Fiero? What? Were you going through a school zone or Hospital zone? Hahaha JK JK JK

Lol!!!! I had replaced the stock engine with a lighter, 200 HP Quad Four (with a Torsen transaxle), and firmed up the suspension with some aftermarket parts, so speeding was actually possible! I'll admit, however, that I could probably get a ticket riding a Segway! Sometimes, I just seemed to attract them.......
