I get "what is it?" all the time, especially when I go downtown. Sometimes yelled from open windows of cars next to me at lights. I think 3 people total have said "nice Vehicross" (including a guy at a Starbucks drive-thru) but then this is Colorado

One woman outside Home Depot was wandering around my VX when I came out then started asking me all kinds of questions about it. She loved it (too bad she wasn't single or attractive) but her last question was "where can I get one?". To which I replied "1999". She went away dejected.

Then two guys at the carwash (Octopus on Colfax if you're in Denver...best for the money anywhere) ask me what it is, I tell them, then one of them says "we were just trying to decide if we like it".

I told him "why should I care whether you do or not?". I did not also point out that he works at a car wash. He shut up and gave me my receipt lol.

It's never been called a Rav-4 though.
