I describe myself as a non-conformist with an apprciation for the rare and different. I'm 42, single, never married (came close a couple times, thank god I dodged that bullet), no kids. I have no compulsion to do the "white picket fence house with 2.5 kids and half a dog" thing. And yes I'm very much a heterosexual. Despite the non-conformist leanings, I look like Ned Flanders (Simpsons hehe...) I'm compelled to have a clean cut image for my job.
Love guns but don't own one. Beer is a staple of my diet, yet never drive intoxicated. Enjoy the outdoors esp when its cold ( i lived in Alaska for 15 years before moving to Alabama) but don't get out very much here in Alabama.
I am a IT techie by trade, "if I cant mod it, I wont buy it" is a general rule in my buying habits. I also tend to the obscure tastes in music as well as vehicles.
My other car is a fairly rare Copper colored Saturn SL2, only produced in early 97. I tinted the windows, opted for the alloy wheels, added sunroof and a decent audio system. Its still a sharp looking car that turns heads simply because of its great color scheme. When I get pulled over, the cop invariably asks "Ummm what color is this?" as he writes me up for speeding which happens way too often.
Mechanics ask me "What happened to your purple car? or Pink car? lol I never correct them that the color is Copper, cuz frankly I dont care what they think it is as long as they remember it.
Guess I bought the VX for much the same reason. Turn heads, be different, not care if they hate it. Dance to a different drummer, be my own person and to hell with their preconceptions of what I should do, how I should live, what my priorities should be, or what I drive.
