I am not the japanese car/lite truck typical car buyer/driver. I am a Euro trash geek. SAABs(the real ones) pre GM. Porsche, Audi, VW. So why a Vehicross? It's cool, fun, different. I picked up an Audi Allroad this last year. Great car. But then my wife's cousin calls me and said, "there's this cool/odd suv for sale at my friend's neighbors place, and I know this thing is right up your alley. It's called an Ironman. I knew what it was in short order. I remember those. I thought about it, after a month it was still nagging at me. I followed up on it. It was still there. I'm in Motown. Not a big Japanese car place. Or Euro trash for that matter. My neighbors don't drive foreign cars much. I don't even do Harley's, I have MV Agusta and Ducati bikes. So, I drove the VX, the engines pretty weak, but I can get used to that, I think I'm really going to like this ride. Perhaps a real good going over will breath life into this mill. The Allroads up for sale. I hope I'm doing the right thing, going from a twin turbo rocket to a VX, but I just gotta know. I joined this forum to educate myself on my new ride and get leads on parts/performance general repair,service tips and links. So far I'm not hitting any goldmines. I just can't get that VX off my mind, I think it will make a great alternate car. A modified Porsche 944 Turbo, or a VX Ironman. Heh,heh,heh What shall I drive today? The choices we have to make....... Shall I be naughty, or very naughty?
