I was up in the North Carolina mountains the past few days (lots of fun in a VX) , and I got as much attention with the VX there as all the time I had it up until then. Apparently up in Asheville and along the Blue Ridge Parkway they don't see alot of these things. :-) I had lots of folks swiveling around in their seats and doing double-takes. Picked up some fingerprints. My wife got asked about it, and an older gentleman in a new Mercedes was eyeing it a lot and walked up and asked me if I liked it.

I had someone park right next to it when they had all kinds of places elsewhere like Simon mentioned. I think that's not so much admiration as jealousy and wanting to take you down a notch. I did nothing to provoke that, unlike a guy in a Camaro at the hotel who parked on the line and took up two spaces to keep people away from his car, which is real silly and counterproductive because it really makes some people mad and makes you MORE likely to get your car vandalized. Anyway, the guy who parked next to mine must have thought I had it parked away from everyone else because I thought I was better than everyone else or something, so he wanted to bug me and make it real hard to get in my door. Actually it was about the only parking option when I got there, but when he got there, it looked to him like I parked it off to itself.
