Goodbye to the VX Board

[PHO2GR4]

about 14 hours ago, maybe page one, I was going to comment. Had it typed, then in the end I didn't post it, but what the hell. Being a new VX'er, was keen to meet other VX owners in the Pacific Northwest and suggested a get together back in October. With the exception of Kpaske, no one was interested. Could this be what The Bear was hinting at?

Wait! Wait! Don't give up!

I just GOT my VX, and it needs a little work. Once it's running, I'll meet anytime, anywhere.

Honest.

I've already been to one meet! They're fun! Heck, Tone drove all the way from Texas to Seattle for that meet. I think there were more than 11 or 12 of us.

Cooooooooooool.

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.
