    Whats the forum gonna be like...

    in five to ten years? No, I am not going to jail. I just was thinking while at a stop light yesterday about as more VX's break down and people lose interest, whats gonna happen? How many of us will there be? There still seems to be plenty of VX's out there that are in good shape.

    Any thoughts?

    Good thought. I think sometimes in ten years will this VX I have still run? When should I buy my replacement VX and then how many will be available and what price and what condition.

    I am certain I will be here too. I hope to have a second VX by then. I also wonder about part availability and cost.

    We'll finally be hearing from Rickshaw that he has 70K on his Dragon

    Seems likely that since this very unique vehicle elicits such loyalty from it's owners, that many current owners would buy another if something unfortunate happened to the VX they are driving now. Being 2nd time buyers, they would choose very carefully, so this would create a demand / premium for low milage VX's......

    I suspect prices will continue to drop, mode people will do more drastic modifications to them and they will have a loyal following like the Isuzu Impulse community where folks drive across country for a car that they pay $1000 for. I really want to either get a pristine one and chop the top off mine, or buy a beater and chop it. Someday, I will have a topless VX!

    ...And if we are around, maybe Moncha can save back enough donation $$$ to convert the forum to a 3D virtual reality world. Would make meets much easier.

    Good thought. You guys know my plan, however I don't know how soon I will be able to enact it, but I do plan to get my VX all fixed up proper and park her in the garage and drive her much, much less.

    But given the FUBAR state of our economy, and given the other massive money pit project I have on deck, who knows when I will be able to park my VX. I was really hoping to find a Trooper sometime here soon. There is still a chance I can do this sometime this summer but right now a lot is up in the air.

    I think there will always be VX enthusiasts out there, old timers or noobs, but the real question is, how long with Moncha decide to keep the site up and running? It such a large amount of upkeep!!

    Maybe he should farm out the responsibility to India?

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    No worries, Even if I'm the only one left, this site will be running! I've left specific instructions regarding it's up keep and existence should I happen to kick the bucket.

    This site will always be here.
