    I seriously considered buying a 99 Astral a couple months ago as my daily driver..
    ... but it was up in north Jersey (near New York) and they were asking about $8500 with abotu 70k miles on it...

    Instead I opted to buy my friends 99 Grand Prix GTP in October.
    He put a LOT of add-ons on it late last summer, just before he decided to buy a GTO on clearance in January...

    Lets see.. a 3" exaust manifold downpipe, U-bend removal (where the downstream O2 sensor is), complete magnaflow exhaust with high perf cats... reduced size supercharger pulley.. thrasher air box with K&N cone filter ... All I need to do now is replace the PCM and I will have close to if not over 300 HP (Guestimation right now is about 285+)

    Not a bad deal for $5000 ... Looking forward to spring, and taking her to Cecil County and seeing what she can do.

    Actually, if I had a trailer, I'd love to take them BOTH to the track and see what they can do!!

    Right now the VX gets driven about every 2 weeks to keep everything in working order, or of course, if it snows!

    VXs have gotten more affordable, considering that the newest one is almost 7years old. Both of ours cost less than 1 when it was new.

    I let my wife drive mine around for a few days and it grew on her too. I think that it was all the attention that she got driving it.
    Other than myself, there are/were a number of other multi-VX households. Off the top of my head, both past and present:
    Tone,
    Joe Black,
    Biju,
    TechnoPope,
    I know there's a few more, I just can't think of them right off.

    There were two black ones here, for a short while, back in 02 & 03. One is still in storage.

    Hopefully we'll one day have one of each color, but for now have to be happy with the IronMan and Ebony. Gotta thin the herd of other wheeled denizens first! I do really miss my bought-new Dragon though, hopefully still being enjoyed by Velvis.

    When that one with the blown tranny went up for dibs here in ATL, I was sorely tempted. It found a good home up in Canada though so I'm glad it's in good hands. I may still get a second as a dedicated off-roader.
