Goodbye to the VX Board

Yeah, the price of gas is BRUTAL and it DOES make me think twice about going ANYWHERE on the weekend. I was going to go up to Pyramid Lake last Sunday, just to chill out, but I knew it would cost me a 3rd of a tank there and back, so I decided to not...

...but that said, if there were half a dozen other VXers heading out for the same place, I'd be there for sure!

Moab will cost at least $300 in gas there and back for me, and probably more, but I am going to try as hard as I can to make it out.

But yeah, money is an issue for me....and for a lot of us I'm sure.

ATTACK!?

Hmmm, I dunno about that. I see it as good old teasing fun. Picking on the short kid on the basketball team, but still knowing that he is "on your team". You make someone feel like a quitter enough, and they will give in and NOT quit.

Unfortunately I've been busy when some of these meets have been happening. But I try to attend them.
For some of us traveling several hours to meet up for a few hours just doesn't work.
I'm a member of a car club too and I just attend certain meets. These are the 2-3 day ones an are a good distance away. I've been to small get togethers and it they are close (few hours) I'm usually game but anything farther it just doesn't work - to much travel time.

Hey Brian it's been a while since the Casino meets -- Or I think many I might have missed one? Congrates on the business and maybe I'll see some of you in the near future.

IMO, nobody needs to make any excuses or provide an explanation for not living up to another persons unreasonable expectations...

The only person any of us can change is ourself.

The only person any of us can change, is our self.

I dunno about that. Doctors have solutions to change people. They hand out mood/personality pills like TicTacs these days.

In all, I have been to maybe 5 meets in the past 5 years. All tiny. The most VX's we ever had was like 6. I think the only person left out of that group now is me and Nav. Speaking of which, I never see ANY VX's anymore around here so there is no sense in moaning about lack of meets. The vehicle itself is enough for me to enjoy. And of course, the forums are just a nice place to BS about issues, news, and to simply shoot the poo about everything and anything with other owners. I have been in many other car clubs with other vehicles and even though they were pretty mainstream popular models with 1 on every block, the VX community is still, by FAR, the most helpful, informative, and supporting group I have been witness to. I am a proud VX owner and very happy to be a part of this tiny cult.... I mean group.

Good point...know where I can get some tic-tacs ?

The reason you don't see any VX's around any more is cause your nasty Alpha VX scared them all off.

Probably a bit late in posting here as I just joined again but I decidd to chime in. I belong to another forum for the Jensen Healey. The same feeling was mentioned there. They only imported some 7000+ cars and that was in the 70's. The issue was everyone was so excited and was planning meets. There were times 3 meets were going on in the same area the same weekend or every weekend. Due to limited members the attendance was split and others could not go to every meet. They started setting up a couple of big meets every year based on geogrphical location. All of a sudden there were JH fans coming out of the woodwork. And while gas is expensive it is easier to justify for that one or two trips a year where you will see a bunch of cars and meet their owners. Considering these cars are 30+ years old it kind of disproves the don't want to drive it too much. I actually have more money in it than I paid for my VX new and the car only sold for about $4000 brand new.

Hey all!
Sorry I have been gone so long. Unfortunately Because of the poor design of childrens car seats, I had to part with my VX. My daugter was born on Feb. 1st. I had to purchase a larger vehicle for my primary vehicle. I was made a trade in offer that I couldn't refuse. I ended up with a 2006 Ford F150 super crew 4x4. The deal was so good that my wife let me buy a replacement Toy, While its no VX it is definatley off road ready. I now have a 94 jeep wrangler fully set up for wheelin (air lockers, lift, dana 40, winch etc). So I still will be attending VX off road meets. Maybe down the road I'll get another one. Anyway, I have extra parts laying around the garage such as Manuals, roof mounted bike racks for VX, 18 OEM alloy rims, Roof rack mounting bracket covers, maybe more. let me know if interested, and keep i touch, I am still part of the VX family and always will be! By the way I'll be renewing my membership as soon as I find my credit card. Also, If anyone finds out where my VX ends up let me know, I traded it in in Indianapolis, IN. Also, sorry about highjacking this thread! See ya! Chris
