    For those of you who believe that sometimes good comes from bad, I believe "Bringdown Bear" has brought me closer to the group.....at least that's how I feel. Don't attack my family, you arrogant a$$pickle.

    Smile Good Bye

    I thoroughly enjoy reading your guys' messages to each other, the helpful hints & offers to drive to each other's cities to give help & support, and the priceless information this website offers. I love my VX, and I wish & hope to someday join the group of loyal 4-wheelers on a trek cross-country. But, I too have family obligations at this time that take priority over playing with friends. I don't know why this guy went off, but nobody here deserves to ridiculed for not being totally into their cars, trucks or suv's. Most of us view our VX's as a fun mode of daily transportation and enjoy being unique in our communities. Thanks to everyone here whoposts and offers priceless information. So far, it's been a great 11 months of VX ownership and I'm looking forward to many years.

    I meant Good Bye to "the bear", not to everyone else.

    Goodbye and good luck

    John
    I know some VehiCROSS owners arenot interested in joining our little online family. Some have no interest in risking "trail-trophies" by taking thier beloved VXes off-roading. Many members miss out on meets (local and/or national) due to things like work, family, finances, illness, etc. However, I have NEVER met a more diverse group of people that were so crazed about a vehicle. Many are members of multiple forums (4x4wire, mwior, pirate4x4), and are always willing to share knowledge, opinion, humor, and help... "apathy and lack of enthusiasm"? I don't think so!

    I was a member of a Fiero group, and went to a few rallies, cruise nights, and dinners... I never hung out with any of them outside club events, and I never truly became friends with anyone from that group.

    I have some great friends that I met simply because we shared a passion for the ISUZU VehiCROSS. I have driven thousands of miles to hang out with some. I've taken off work to hang out with others that happened to be in town. Some are local. Some live very far away. Some no longer own a VehiCROSS (or never did... can't leave out all my non-VX 'Zoids), but that does not make them any less a friend. I'm glad to have each and every one in my life... even the ones I have not met yet!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    If that isn't a clear rebuttal to his claims of apathy and a lack of enthusiasm, I don't know what is.

    LMFAO! I love the loyalty, but I don't even want to think about what the heck an a$$pickle is!!!

    I don't know this guy, nor have I followed the RC Car thread, but he's obviously no longer interested in being a productive member of the group, so... don't let the door hit you in the a$$pickle on your way out!

    In defense of 'thebear'......

    I purchased headlight covers and tail light covers from him....

    ...he sent them quickly , and was a pleasure to deal with.


    I hope thats "passionate and enthusiastic" for you bear....


    Heck ...I'd say more....but I'm being overcome by a raging dose of pococurantism !
