    Smile CowboyErik's Vehicross VX; CINCINNATI Ohio

    I finnally got a Vehicross two years ago now. I first saw one in mission to Mars a decade ago and wondered what it was. Now I've been an owner for two years. My VX loves gas and oil! But I expected that but I did not expect it to swallow so much oil. I believe I have one with the limited drain back holes in the oil rings. My VX consumes about a 1 quart of oil every 250miles on the highway. It doesnot blacken oil or leak, it just eats it! Gets about 15miles to the gallon, sometimes worse and never better. I'm changing brake rotors this month and thus fitting new bearings all around so it will be interesting to see if there is any change.

    I also have 1980 Fiat Spider softtop convertable, and a pair of Bertone-Fiat X1/9's. The most practical car I own is my Nissan Quest. I am currently installing a new radio/mp3 player in my VX replacing a pioneer headunit that the previous owner installed and broke on me last month.

    My next mod will be fitting larger OEM Isuzu rims on the car with new INDY500 FireHawk's which are my favorite tires on all my vehicles that they fit.

    I noticed something. If you divide the number of Astrals in "Moncha's Survey" by 1 you come up with 154 Astrals. That's quite a large number of "Astrals". In fact it's the biggest bunch of "Astrals" I've ever been associated with. It's probably the biggest bunch of "Astrals" on the planet. It's also the nicest bunch of "Astrals" around (but some "Astrals" are nicer than other "Astrals"). So continue to sign-in all "Astrals", we sure wouldn't want to miss one. Cause being without a "Astral" could sure make ya grouchy.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    just passed 111K on the clock, still pulls like a champ.

    And thanks to whomever posted the hood fix to raise the bumpstops. Though I do miss wanking on the hood release lever to check the oil.
