    You should add Bart that buying another vehicle to drive everyday makes things alot easier. I currently DD mine but plan on buying something else soon, not so much to keep miles off the VX in my case, but more so that I can have it down to do modifications without having to worry about having a vehicle if I need one. My wife needs her car for work so I need to have something in case i need to take the kids somewhere

    I drive my VX daily and wheel the snot out of it...I will worry about the parts shortage if/when that time comes! The VX is meant to be enjoyed!

    Most parts as said above are shared with other Zu's. As time goes by the creative/mechanically inclined are also finding new options (i.e. Bigmeatvx's bolt on 5-speed tranny). I am sure if it ever comes down to it the cladding pieces will be able to be copied in fiberglass by some crafty individual and metal can always be reshaped! At least thats what I keep telling myself

    I like the way you think. They are 100% correct. Most mechanicals can be scavenged off of the flood of Zus thanks to Cash for Clunkers. There are few that can't be obtained, but with some creativity, and a grinder, most parts can be modified to fit.
    Plastic is our biggest downfall.
    I am like Billy (triathelete) I beat the piss out of mine, take VERY good care of it as far as maintenance and I will worry about broken stuff when the time comes. It is by far the coolest car to drive ever. It turns heads everywhere, it could be at an exotic car show, and hold its own.
    GO FOR IT!!!! (only if you are going to use it, none of this garaged for three years hoo ha)

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
