    I believe this is the most common attribute, if you can consider anything common about VX owners. I don't off-road (OK, I did ONCE!), my VX is mostly mod-free (except for the PV1 and slightly larger tires), I don't camp and do "outdoors" things, I'm definitely NOT a social person, and I hate guns!

    I bought a VX because it is different! But, it is also tough, great looking, and (yes) reliable! As many know, I traded in a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC Collector's Edition for my VX. Being a CE, it was rare, but it still looked like thousands of other Mark VIII's on the road. It was nice, but it was kind of boring!

    VX owners are all the same -- we're DIFFERENT!

    If you’re the type of person that will avoid standing in line even if it takes longer to get where you’re going. You might be a VX owner.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    If you’re the type of person that sees a 30 something driving a Ford Taurus as someone that has given up on there dreams. Then you might be a VX owner.

    P.S. Unless it’s an SHO.

    Ahhhh, but much the same as the EMO/goth kids, they all appear the same in their attempt to be different.

    If you have a massive Gas Mask collection and you see every bad situation as an excellent photo opportunity. You might be a VX owner.

    Let's see...

    I'm 42. Goth. Don't really do the outdoors. Don't own guns, nor would I want to. Since I bought it new in 2001, my VX has been very reliable. Lastly, as I have said before, this is the first group of enthusiasts I have really taken to. I would say we are UNIQUE, just like our rides. We pride ourselves on our individuality and feel compelled to make our VXes reflect that. Some mods might be more extreme than others, while some mods are popular by demand. I would agree with us all being obsessive over our VehiCROSS.

    Where do I fit?

    I am 22 now. Female. When I bought my first VX I was 17. I guess you can say I am half white (Irish, Polish and Puerto Rican). Guns are not really my thing. Though I have gone shooting, was pretty good too, and I enjoyed it. I just don't like hunting. I DO love the outdoors though... hiking, off roading, mountain biking, camping, watersports of all kinds... I see us all as having PASSIONATE and HIGHLY ADDICTIVE personalities... (to our rides that is).

    Since LBUD hasn't been active lately, I'll have to include the shameless advertisement.

    VX owners are INFORMED - thanks to this great site. You should go out and make a donation.

    Good point, just in the last 3 months I have been on here, I have learned a ton of stuff about the VX, and had all of my questions answered right away.
    Especially from the dozen or so regulars, thanks guys.(you know who you are)
