I am definitly a head case when it comes to my VX. I wash once or twice a week weather its raining or not , yes i do wash my VX in the rain, why? My VX is going on 13 years old and I still have people come up to me wondering what the new crossover is ,who its made by and I do enjoy telling them that it is 12 years old, I scrub the shocks inside the tires and wheels , the engine compartment is just as clean as the interior and sometimes cleaner! Theres not a better PUV on the market OH HELL ! there is not anything better on the market...
