    150,015 miles!

    Still going strong! I'm getting ready for my 5th set of tires....burn about 1/2 quart between oil changes. Probably will need to replace the battery soon. I love this truck!!!

    I just bought my wife a new Nissan 350Z Roadster and I can't even imagine what I want next. Sure wish Toyota would start making that FJ Cruiser.

    What are most people moving on to from their VX's? It seems like there is a constant parade of sellers on ebay.

    Thumbs up

    Randy, it sounds like you have the same taste in autos as myself.

    Congrats on the high mileage without major problems. I hope I am so lucky!

    FX and VX goes well together...

    I just talked to Nyk (FLuid). He is at 127,000 miles with no problems at all up to this point on his 99 ironman.

    I plan on keeping my VX (and maybe even buying a second for off-road), but hope to buy something else once the payment is gone. It may be the FJ Cruiser, or maybe the FX45, or I may go to a sportscar like the STI, RX8 or 350Z. I haven't decided yet - been too busy with work to give it much more than a passing thought.

    After my VX is done... motor... system... payments... I'm gonna put some time and money into my '78 Super Beetle... THEN I'll get something new like that FJ Cruiser myself... IF they ever make it... I hate concept cars... they RARELY come to life... I'll keep my fingers crossed though.

    TTYL!

    Man, lots of thumbs up for the concept FJ! I don't remember so many people liking it before, but I sure do, so it's cool to see people considering it!
