Or---next June 06 I turn it in but then all that money I put into during leasing was for nothing.

That's a bad way of looking at it. A lease is designed to calculate interest + depreciation only. You're not puting money into the vehicle, you're "renting" it at a predetermined rate that will make a marginal profit for the bank. The cost (and risk) to you is minimal. I say turn it in.... you can get a VX on open market for under 10k these days if you shop around for a desperate seller.

Turn it and buy a used motorcycle while you look for a good price on a VX. You'll save a TON of money on gas and you might even get lucky enough to find your original VX on the lot of a dealer who is willing to sell it for a lot less than the 'official' buy-out price.

HAH! I like your idea, WyrreJ!

LVX, your sweet baby will end up on the block in York, PA. A licensed dealer or wholesaler can buy it back for you - time to make a new friend!

The MC solution won't last long, though... winter's on its way, even in PA.
