    Bart,

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this one, as it's probably the number one cause of major problems in VX'es... OIL! Bring a few quarts of your favorite oil, preferably a good synthetic of the proper specs. I've noticed the oil consumption problem, if you have it, to get especially bad on long road trips. Check your oil every time you stop and keep it topped off. Letting it get low is very, very bad!

    Good luck in Reno. I've only been there once, and it seemed kind of sleepy for my taste, but I'm a big city guy at heart. Would have been a great place to retire were it not for all the development...

    Thank you x1000.

    Bart,

    Good to meet you in Cheyenne yesterday. You have a great lookin' VX!

    Just wanted to publicly thank you for haulin' an OEM VX windshield all the way from Chicago for me. You are a saint amongst VX'ers!

    Best of luck in Reno - and your new gig. Hope to see you again out at Zu in 07.

    -biju.
