    Jurrassic Park?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but do any of the Jurrassic Park movies have a VX in there?

    I was at a gas station last weekend and some dude comes up to me and was like, "You must like Jurassic Park!"

    I was like, "Huh?"

    And then he said, "You know, Jurrassic Park, where they had all these trucks like yours, I haven't seen one of those since I watched the movie."

    And then I said, "ummm, ok" and got in and drove off.

    I am pretty sure those were Land Rovers or something in Jurrassic Park...I've only seen the movie once, so I can't really remember, but I definitely do not think there were any VXes in the first movie. What about the sequels?

    OK good. Cause I gave the dude a few "what the hell are you talking about" looks while he was telling me this and then afterwards I felt kinda bad because maybe there is a VX in one of the movies, so now I don't feel bad. He must of been drunk or something.

    The weird thing is, I didn't even have my roof rack and light bar on so right now my VX bears about as much a resemblance to the Jurrassic Park truck as it does to the A-Team van. I really don't know where he got this idea from. People are weird and their brains make them do weird things. Lay off the crystal meth, bro.

    I think the Mercedes were in one of the later ones; there were definitely first-gen Explorers in the original.

    Woooow, easy on the hates there, one of our most valued trusted members went from his VX to a Benz SUV and I must say that the Benz can blow the doors off the VX in a straight line.

    I'd have to agree. Aside from the Unimog, I don't think there is a Mercedes out there that doesn't induce my gag reflex. To me, I don't care if its the fastest, best off roading, 100 MPG vehicle in the world. If it's ugly, it's ugly. Period.

    No Mercs here...never had one. Nice enough cars, but not my style at all. I am tempted by a few of the current AMG cars, and the SL Black series will be truly awesome, but I see neither in my immediate future.

    i do have my all time favorite suv's, exotics, etc., and there are some that just "aren't me". but i have respect for everyone out there that is a true car enthusiast.

    as for the jurrassic park thing, maybe they were just trying to make conversation about the VX and didn't quite go about it right. it does kind of look reptilian like with the small headlights and "fangs". but then again, i've even had my boxster referred to as a "go-kart". hehe!
