A third VX???

[samneil2000]

My wife likes mine and likes how people stare when you're rolling down the street in it. She's a glamour puss.

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

That is a very good thing. I talked to somebeach about a month ago - he lost his VX to his son.

We'll assume that she is NOT reading this!!!!

Joyce says it's OK to have one VX but two just doesn't make sense when we have a two car garage and own five cars. I have two VXs and a BMW and she has a BMW and a Fiat. Now the Fiat is a 1979 Spyder 2000 (red) convertible. It's her fun car which is stored during the Winter. She'll be braking it out at the end of the month. Her BMW is a 1989 325ix (red), it's a limited edition ('89 - '91) AWD car that is really fast and goes anywhere in the snow. Two years ago she got rear ended in it and the insurance company totaled it. It took six months, a donor car and $25,000.00 to get the car totally restored. That included transporting her BMW from Alabama and the donor BMW from Maryland to Lenexa, plus all the repairs and a complete new paint job. All this done by a auto restoration specialist. It's looks and drives like it's off the showroom floor. There was no talking her out of it.

And she says that two VXs is excessive. Three VXs would still be just as excessive, right?

What I think she meant was, "You know, we really should build a second, detached garage."

Sounds like for what she has in the BMW, you could have 2 more VX's...

Possibly even more so...by about 33.33%

Not if you're after one in each color!!!

Big +1 on that. She insisted on dumping $25K into a salvage vehicle and you can't have a few $5-8K VX's? C'mon now.

What about a duplex with a double car garage on both sides?

That sounds perfect for after the divorce! At least you can stay in touch, have 3 VX's and always have one parked outside -- in plain view -- so she can see it out her side of the duplex (windows). It'd be the perfect way to remind her of the reason for divorce! LOL

Seriously Bob, WTF? Who's the 3rd one for? You're OBVIOUSLY a nice guy who's willing to share VX's with the rest of the community. Yet, you want to HOG them all to yourself!

Before buying 3 Corvettes to suit my daily whim, I'd be more inclined to perfect and perfect until the one I drove each day was,,,ugh,,,perfect! (O.K., that might include having a cameleon switch to change colors from day-to-day!)

Or...another option is to legally change your name to Bob Leno -- the VX-collecting brother of Jay.

For now the third VX is on hold.

Wifey says I should finish what I start with VX2 before I think of a third one...and I agree. There's a garage full of stuff to install onto VX2 to bring it up to match VX1.

I would like to have a salvage VX just for parts though. I could put it in the back yard under a tarp. She would really go ape***** over that. The neighborhood association would probably side with her.

89vette, did you get those pics I sent?

Build it inside one of those fort-style swing sets. It'll work!

Didn't get them. PM with my email posted again. Will call this week too!
