AK Falco,

I really do not have selling it in my heart.. I am just torn between wanting to keep it pristine and needing something better than the CRV to off-road with. That was part of the reason to buy the VX in the first place.

I have taken the VX off road and it does just fine... remember, I am the only one in the USA who has put down the cabbage for the Kilby - Bomb Proof - skid plate. ( way better than aluminum or fibreglass )

But, with parts hard to come by and the destruction off roading puts on it... I just hate to see it decline...... So I thought I'd park it.

When I go off-road, I tend to beat the **** out of the vehicle: bounce off stumps, tree limbs leaving scratches all over the sides, denting the bumper and lower panels etc.... So, I am getting really wary of going all out in the VX - because I love it so !!!!!!! And an - almost free - Jeep will go anywhere the VX will.... as far as I know.

You are right, I'd probably want to shoot myself the second I handed over the keys
