Bought my '99 Ironman, new, in '99. Now runs better than when new and has improved MPG. Knock on wood, never experienced any operational issues beyond the common windows-off-track problem. Never had them repaired, just leave them up/closed all the time. They don't leak or anything. Some years back, the CD player jammed. Removed the player and used the space for an iPod adapter, which worked perfectly with the iPodnano 1st generation. However, the adapter does not charge the iPodnano 6th generation I'm using, now, but it still plays tunes just fine.
Can't think of any other tech issues. Even though I drove a few thousand miles off-road in Texas, I still get asked if it is a new model. The ole VX looks great, inside and out.
For years thought about making the road trip of a lifetime. I was going to drive from Texas (now from California) to Brazil to visit friends, there. Had Belizean neighbors that made annual road trips to Belize from Irving, Texas. They said I could tag along to Belize, but I never got up the nerve. Nowadays, there is no way I am driving south of the border with all the drug related extreme violence.:whiteflag: I am too curious to stick to "safe" routes, even if any exist anymore.
