    Thumbs up

    I'm the third owner of my '01. Purchased it in 2003.

    1st owner lived in Flordia. He put approx. 15,000 miles on the VX.
    2ND owner flew to Florida from Texas. Drove it back to Texas. He was an older dude who didn't like tilting his head to get in and out. He put 3,000 miles on it.
    3rd owner is me. I've put over 70,000 miles on it.

    This will be my 4th ZuZu in Moab this year.

    Peace.

    I'm an original owner for over eight years. It's been my daily driver the whole way so I have 167,000+ miles behind the wheel of a VX. I'm still having 100% pure fun and I hope my VX is still my daily driver eight years from now.

    In less than a year we could see someone proudly proclaim themselves as the first ten year VX original owner in North America. Who will it be?

    I'm the Original Owner of #0467, I bought it Brand New back in 9/02 from M'Lady Isuzu, Crystal Lake, IL. I think there were only 7 New ones left in the country at the time. I had it shipped 2000 miles to the West Coast. I can remember two weeks after I got it was my first Vehicross Meet (LA meet 11/02).
    Found some pics of the meet on Naoki's site.

    A few years before I got the VX I was commuting 120 miles a day to work and back. After 3 years I said enough of that and moved to a smaller house only 7 miles from work. That's why my VX only has 25K on it.
