When I bought my first VX 2 weeks ago, it was the first car I had bought in 30 years. . More accuratly, it was the first real car in 30 years...there were 2 clunkers and my 56 Willys CJ3B; but first car payment in 30 years. Now I think...this could well be the last car I ever own. I am 53 years old , my VX only has 37K miles and I look forward to the challenge of making it last forever. Maybe in 30 years I can say, "I've only bought 1 car in the last 60 years."
