I've had 10 vehicles during my life, and some I honestly believed would be around forever...however...none before the VX had lasted more than 5 yrs. Usually after 3 yrs I get bored and look for something else. My 2000 VX was purchased "new" in '01 so I've owned it 3 years now. My game-plan is to pay if off in 2yrs and add another vehicle to the stable...possibly a new Mustang or maybe just a Monte Carlo SS for a work car.

1)1969 Plymouth Roadrunner (5yrs.)
2)1982 Pontiac Trans Am (5yrs.) owned @ same time

3)1979 Ford Bronco 4X4 (5yrs.)
4)1989 Dodge Daytona (3yrs.) work car

5)1992 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (2yrs.)

6)1996 Dodge Ram 4X2 pickup Starcraft Conversion (3yrs.)
7)1978 Chevy Monza Spyder 350V8 (3yrs.) work car

8)1995 Jeep Grand Cherrokee Limited (3yrs.)

9)2000 Isuzu "IronMan" VX (3yrs.) pleasure car
10) 1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula (4yrs.) work car

The only SUV I've seen out now that has sparked my interest is the Infinity FX45. They are rare in my neck of the woods as the closest Infinity dealer is in Pittsburgh. I don't know if I'm ready for 4-doors w/o low range. Price tag is hefty too....$44k-$50k
