Yeah congrats if that's the case. Tho I personally have issues with diamonds as symbols of fidelity, considering the long and sordid history of De Beers & it's various subsidiaries. But that's a whole 'nother topic.
Back on track, I have got to say that the VX has caused me to get more vehicular attention from the neighbors in the last three weeks since I bought it than I've gotten in the fifteen years since I ran my vintage roadracing modified Bultaco Mercurio up and down the street to check jetting early on a Sunday morning. And the VX attention is WAY more positive than that other, unpleasant cursing out of that loud, smoking whathehellisthat and why is it so loud?
Another ‘head-turning’ report…
We have a neighbor across the street – a tall redhead that is rather pleasing to the eyes (even Kathy would have to concede that point) – who apparently has a certain appreciation for automotive styling and performance, since she bought herself a late`80s BMW M3 a while back…
Anyway, this morning, while I was backing the VehiCROSS out to allow Miss Kathy to drive her Capri XR2 today – an authoritative rasp was coming from the exhaust as I backed up the hill in front of our house – and our shapely neighbor was standing at the opposite curb, setting out her garbage…
While I’m quite sure that she has already noticed the VX sitting in our driveway, apparently this was the first time that she’s had an opportunity to get a really good look at it. --- She smiled and waved, and then kept looking over her shoulder, again and again, as she walked back toward her house.
In this respect, each in our own way, I suppose we were both enjoying the view
I could have very easily coasted back into the driveway after Kathy was on her way, but for some reason I simply couldn’t resist the urge to blip the throttle just a bit; hooking it back into the driveway with a fair amount of gusto… ‘Vrrroom!’![]()

I've trained my kids from an early age (since my first '99) now 9 and 11 that the VX can do no wrong, and that the VX is invincible. On several occasions we have passed weird wreckage or bad stuckedness where the kids have said, "should have had a VehiCross..." I guess I have a lot of driver training to do...
