    Talking VX in the shop

    What's happening to me. I found myself sitting in a 2007 Rubicon. Seriously thinking about it. I really don't want more payments though! Somebody stop me.

    STOP! Don't get pulled into that new car smell and feel! Even a new ride will sooner lose that. Keep the VX dammit.

    RUNNNN SCOTT-EST RUNNNNNNN!!!
    get away from there.........
    a quick and recent story.....i pulled into a gas station to get a pop, and a brand new rubicon pulled in next to my, uhh huge ugly work van. the people that got out were like, how should i say, muffy, and exavier, i dont like to judge people, but i just know that this couple will NEVER take that thing off the road, and they just had that air of snobbnishness. then the next day, same gas station, same objective with the pop, ANOTHER rubi pulles in, and another different couple, dressed in the same miami vice-ish clothes, same "air" about them, i dont know, i should stop.
    anyway, i shouldnt say this either, but they (the rubicon, not these owners) do look capable, like i know anything.....
    but i live in small town indiana, and here are two of them in as many days, and two for two on the type of owner. and i do see a few of them on the road as well.
    where as the vx, all around more uniqie, and EVERY owner i have met thats owned one, is someone i can enjoy their company and consier a friend.
    i was wishing soooooo bad that i could have benn in my vx, but it really wouldnt have mattered , these folks were clueless..........
    dont become one ot "THEM" LOL

    I pulled into Famous Dave's this weekend and a Unlimited Rubi was leaving the parking lot... until he saw my VX! Then the driver stopped in his tracks and just about broke his neck looking at the Zeus. He sat there for over a minute with all passengers looking in the same direction... buyer's remorse or green with envy - the look is about the same. I am glad I didn't bite the bullet and buy a Rubicon a couple of months ago.

    Scott, your Ironman is one of the coolest, meanest Ironmans I have seen. No Jeep can replace it.

    Normally when the new car bug bites me it's a done deal. The VX's fantastic ness(if that is a word) is what's stopping me. Idon't want payments,but a warranty would be nice.Finding parts would be nice. That is what mainly triggered the bug. One part is going to take 4-6 weeks ,another part 2weeks. My favorite dealer gave up their franchaise. They no longer stock any Isuzu parts. It will only get worse

    Scott, what's wrong with your VX?

    I think about this sometimes too. But I look at it a little differently. I think I will keep my VX, and eventually buy something a little better on gas as a daily driver. I will most likely never buy a new vehicle again (except of course if Toyota releases the RSC, I am still sticking to that). I just don't see any reason to get rid of my VX. Buy another vehicle, yes, but not without my VX safe in the garage!
