    Way cool parking job. Maybe it would have looked better on TOP of the pile of snow. ;-)

    As far as parking like that, there is something to consider; it's the oil sump location in the oil pan. I don't know what the VX looks like as far as the shape of the pan, but at point the oil might not be at the point of pickup to feed the engine. (Typically this is a rare problem, but it is devastating).

    If you really like funky angles, you can get a "dry sump" oiling system that guarantees oil at all angles.

    The Mini Cooper IS my boses ride! We always joke about our vehicles being completely opposites, just like the both of us. He is a fast driver, been with him in the cooper; has SC and is very fast and nimble, but that's what you should expect from a car that probably weights about as much as my tires?

    I would race with him, I have a little trail that includes some very minor off roading, but he won't take me up on it. I will even offer to do 2 runs: he picks one and I pick the other, we will combine the times and see who comes out on top. I figure I could do 80-90% of what he can on the street, and he can do less than 10% of what I can do off road.

    Glad everyone enjoyed the story and pics.

    Now we know why....the Mini Cooper became MINISCULE next to the VX in that pose. I had the same urge, but in sunny California the only thing I could drive up on is that 6 inch concrete parking spot stopper, and that just wouldn't have the same effect. P.S. VX and MC not so opposite, I would call the VX the Mini Cooper of 4x4 SUVs.
    It's the love child of a Hummer & SLK, uniquely rugged & SLeeK
