Personally, if someone would build a tennis shoe to look a bit like a VX, I'll be first in line to buy a pair. That would be great! :-)
I am convinced that the people who have the ugliest comments find the VX threatening to them on some level and would have been the first in line to get one if they hadn't missed the boat. They're afraid it's better than theirs. They want the attention you're getting. They spent more and don't have something as unique or that gets the same looks. They didn't spend more and they're pissed off that you could. They basically just resent the fact that you have and they don't have. And that's what I think of every time someone (and especially other SUV's and trucks) feels an urge to race by me and cut me off for no good reason other than that they have some need to try to compensate for some deficiency of theirs.
