A third VX???

[navistar]

When I got my first VX my wife said it was ugly. Later she said it was ugly and hard to get into (2.5 inch lift). Still later she said it was ugly, hard to get into and uncomfortable to ride in on long distances (about 500 miles per day on road trips).

Her relentless criticism resulted in me getting a second VX (I'll show her a bad ride). Now she says that 2 VXs increase her pain, are hard to get into and uncomfortable to ride in on short distances (5 miles or even less). Hummm..I'm thinking of getting a third VX.

Does anyone think I will ultimately prevail? Be honest.

My wife also hates the VX. She says it's like riding in a shopping trolley (cart). She says the doors are too heavy, the door handles break her finger nails, its hard to get in (even without a lift). The passenger seat is hard to push back (I need to forward all the way to allow my son in the back), and difficult to tilt the seat forward (she can't work the catch for some reason). It's expensive to own, run and maintain (taking much needed money from the household), and is impractical - no clever storage solutions and poor rear storage (when you consider the dog). The sound system is muffled and there isn't even a cup holder. But she does appreciate that I love it and it gives me great joy owning it - so she does give me too much ear ache about it.

PS She drives a Nissan Micra.

You sir, are my hero. I'm just glad that wifey loves the VX as much as I do. The only thing she gives me a hard time about is belonging to this here "cult".

My wife loved mine so much we got her one too!

I, originally hated the VX when I first saw it. Now, I want as many I get my hands on, I just gotta figure how to get the funds!

Go for it!

Navi; I can only assume you have not been married too long if you think doing battle with the Admiral can get you ahead. Either that or she is waiting till you mature a bit to begin your training. Stay in touch and enjoy the waterboarding.

Too funny T2.

Voice of experience???

[Travelin2]

Roger that!

This whole thread is too funny! All true, but still funny! Dave 1st got married at 43...so imagine the "training" I've had to do! At least I had a "practice husband" for about 20 yrs! ........Hummm, "Admiral", I kind a like the sound of that.....

I have the opposite problem...Dave's not quite as enamored with the VX as I am.... His FJ is his baby....well, everybody has their own taste, right?

p.s. Navi- Go for it! What's the worst that can happen? Just remove all sharp objects from the house!

I guess I am extra lucky. My wife likes the VX, thinks it's cool, but hates driving it because she can't see.

On the flip-side she has several pet names for the Trooper. The School Bus, The Dump Truck, the white-trash mobile, etc.

I would rather not talk about her opinion of the Falcon.

DO IT!

And my wife likes the VX alot. Almost got her one. But then I thought no only I can be the one with the rare car around this town.

I think she has evil motives...she just keeps telling you that she hates the VX's anticipating that you will buy yet another, she will act like it is the end of all things evil, file for devorce and be the proud new owner of 3 VX's from the devorce settlement!

Ughhhhh my wife keeps stealing mine.

My beautifu bride (see how well trained I am) will tolerate the VX, but does not like it.

My kids, all of whom drive, don't like it at all.

Guess who gets to ALWAYS drive this wonderful vehicle...

Go for it Navi!
