    I think we're all a bit narcissistic in a way. I mean, really, who else drives around looking at passing motorists to see if they are checking you out? I know I do it all the time, and when I'm in another car, or in a rental, and I see that no one is gawking at my car I get a little sad. There's something just a little off about each and every one of us.

    The other day someone told me my proton looked like a banana on wheels - then today a guy told me it looked like a match box car on steroids - I guess that was a complement !!

    Just as long as you don't have to testify to Congress about it you're good...

    Well, I know that's not the reason I bought mine. It's simply difficult NOT to notice the gawking and head-turning because it seems to happen so much. I can only imagine how many additional times it happens that we DON'T notice while we're driving.

    Not even 24 hours since I started this thread and got approached at the light to be asked "hey what is that".

    What's really awesome is to get the looks and smiles from the people driving expensive cars. Had a dude in a new Acura TL checking me out last week while at the light. Looks like he was thinking "gee i love my Acura but I really want one of those". I love it!

    Thanks for sharing all your stories

    I was at a stop light today when I noticed a guy on the side walk staring at the VX. He proceeded to do a complete walk around of the truck while I was sitting there waiting for the light to change.

    The best one though had to be the time a young couple were crossing the street in front of me. They were engaged in heavy conversation...well she was doing most of the talking. As they passed in front of me I watched his head swivel around to look over the Vehicross. The last words I heard out of her mouth were, "YOU'RE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO THAT STUPID TRUCK THAN ME!"

    That's funny, I always look at people I pass to see if they're looking at my VX. Today I was passing a girl waiting at a traffic light, as I went by her head was turning and she had her mouth open Maybe she was checking me out?......NAH, I'm sure it was the truck.

    I see your point, but how sombody as fugly as I could possibly be narcissistic escapes me.

    Maybe some of you are prettyboys/gals and mirror addicts, but as for me, i just like the truck. Other people enjoy seeing it, and that brings joy. Nothing narcissistic about that IMHO.
