Met a girl at the carwash the other day who owned one of those VW Things, the old army jeep version. Noted how cool of a car it was and then she saw mine roll through, said it looked really cool, saw it before and at times it reminded her of a "Tennis shoe."
I had to laugh and conceded that now that she mentioend it, she's not that far off. After all, the white body and gray cladding. Hm.
From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

Not a "tennis" shoe but the designers were inspired by the "CROSS-trainer" shoe (multi-purpose and multi-surface) so instead of calling it a Cross-vehicle the named it....Vehi-CROSS.(rugged & atheletic)
It's the love child of a Hummer & SLK, uniquely rugged & SLeeK

The girls here at the office call mine a frog.

A frog
Well at least not a toad.

I went out to lunch with my wife and her cooworkers one day. One of the guys had one of those box Scion things. They all said they wanted to see me put my tennis shoe car into his tennis shoe box car. I've heard the shoe thing like 100 times since. I have to admit it.

They are dying to kiss it to see if it turns into a prince (or a Hummer).maybe a horny-toad but not a frog

My friends nicknamed my truck "The Shoe" so I finally gave in:

The earlier 2 door Rav-4 DEFINITELY looks like a funny shoe, makes our VX look like a stretch-limo when they're parked side by side.

I was going to say something about horny toads too but StormTROOPER was too quick. :-)

One of my "friends" calls mine the pregnant roller skate...that friend may need a demotion to aquaintance! :bgwp:

VXcaver, nice decal on the back. i have the same apple sticker as well. i like the plate too.
i have heard "your car looks like a shoe" so many times that i have lost count. most embarising time was when i was taking a right out of a parking lot, after a school bus let me go in front of her. she them got on her PA, with full volume, and said "your car looks like a shoe." it scared the heck out of me, it was so loud. i cant say that i disagree, i just wouldn't scream it on a PA.

I get snake all the time (clearly) and shark every once in a while. I kinda like the shark comment.

My father calls mine the "Reebocross"
(Subsequent name to the original "Nikecross")

At least the VX has a SOLE!
Neither ordinary or extraordinary, just indefatigable.

Yeah, had the VX called a shoe out of probably 80% of the comparisons to other objects.
