I Now own a VX!!!

[Techy-D]

JAFO - Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of asking you (If something serious comes up, It's not the time to start looking for a good shop - so Now I have a good place to start if needed)

GOOD NEWS:
I stopped in to the ForestGrove Les Schwab tire store (EXCELENT Guys by the way and one of them knew what my VX was - They even got me in right away), and it seems the rear tires were absolutly brand new as I suspected, but the front ones were, in his opinion, the original tires (about 1/2 tread left). To play it safe I bought 2 more new tires and it seems to have fixed 99% of noise!!! (I have 2 tires to sell)

Thanks for the tip on the oil Checking. Looks like the oil's been in there a while (maybe it doesn't use much???), so that's on my list soon as well as trany fluid (see if that last 1% of noise will go away?)

Tomorrow we'll see my friends reaction when I pick him up for Church! (He has no idea I got a new car - This should be good!!)

Congrats on your new "baby". I'm sure you'll love it. I take mine to Tigard SUV off Scholls Ferry for any work I've needed. I found them to be more reasonably priced and they have better warranties on their work than Braley & Graham Isuzu.

Congrats again and have a great time. I'll wave if I see you around!

You sure know how to give a guy that warm fuzzy feeling!

Thanks for the welcoming, it'll be a fun time and I got you folks to share in the Joys / Unjoys. If I can keep a 74 gremlin going for 234,000miles and a 65 Skylark for 205,000miles (Possibly 305,000), then there is a good chance this rig will be around a while!!!
