Got stopped in traffic today!!!

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

when I stopped near Chicago for gas on my way to Moab '08, some guy was going on about how he never saw one before; then Gill & CeCe pull up in an ebony & proton @ alternate pumps (meeting up for convoy) and I looked at him and said "watcha talk'in 'bout...there everywhere!". He walked away perplexed..lol.

I stopped by PEP Boys to pick up a few Meguiars articles and no sooner than I parked the truck, a couple ran out of the store and stood next to the truck staring. I got out and the guy asked me what year the VX was. Not only did this guy know all about the Vehicross , he collected exotic cars for a hobby. Ferraris mostly. I told him about the site and said it was a good starting point to find his own VX. That guy had that goofy smile we all get when we look at our VX's. I bet he is looking to buy one now.

I bet he is looking to buy one now.

Bet he will never thing about a Ferrari again

Living in a a smaller community of around 40k people way way spread out over 40 miles....with alot of them being retirees.....I don't get many comments

BUT, gasing up in Tuba City, AZ on the way home from Moab, OMG! this truck pulls in the station, towing a Jeep on a carrier....girl runs up to me and just falls apart about the VX, wants to know all about it. Two male companions get into discussion. They'd just been wheelin' in Moab in the Jeep and had seen the VXs somewhere on the trail. The gal said she "totally could see herself wheelin' one of these". She said they'd been following me for a while and followed me into the gas station to ask about the VX.

Funny part, I happened to mention the transfer case skid plate that Ldub put on for me, and the next thing I know she's laying on the ground, partly under my car (yeah, right next to the pumps!) checking out the skid plate! I'll bet we see her in a VX someday soon!

OK, that made up for like only 2 comments in 5 months! :bgwp:

Sue, am happy that skid plate worked out for you and Larry made it work before the crunch. Do stop by some junk yard, oops, wrecking yard. Chance's are you will find the 2 other plates laying in the back of a trooper. Now, if someone can come up with a good affordable plate to cover the engine oil pan and they had a feather you know where we would both be tickled.:bgwg:

I was doin' my mop jockey thing tonight, when I looked out the window, there was an explorer parked next to Suzy. Two of the four occupants were out the truck & giving her the ocular once over, so I stopped da mop & just watched...

They were there for at least five minutes, looking in the windows, underneath at her "unmentionables" , etc.,etc...

I no longer feel the need to go out & educate...

Funny.... people don't give a rat's !@# about the VX here. But that's ok.... the sentiment is shared when asked how I feel about THEM.
