    Yeah, I think Tom's title is safe.

    You forgot to include "neato sissy flares" in your list...

    No way, the fenders are the only thing with terrible offset, the tires/rims actually don't look like they are out that far at all, at least not for Tom's taste But as far as those flares go, BLAH!!!!! That is terrible, that would be the 1st thing to go

    I'm curious about this "X74"....so I just wrote the seller and asked a bunch of questions. Also asked what's meant by "research 1999 Isuzu". Also wonder why it doesn't meet ebay criteria for their buyer protection plan. I asked for a FREE CarFax instead of making me pay for it...We'll see what I get.

    Wow. That thing doesn't even look like it has a lift?!?! I mean, "to each his own" and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and etc, but damn, imo that poor VX is jacked looking.

    Info on VX "X74"

    Got an answer from seller + a free "CarCheck" which is supposed to be like CarFax. Something just seems fishy.....
    He didn't answer some of my questions either....hummmmm?

    PAUL STEVENS also left you a note about this vehicle:
    Hi Susan,
    If you click on the AutoCheck icon below that's the same as CarFax. We put this Vehicross through our service inspection and all we did was change the oil and replace a window regulator. The brakes were at 70% and everything else checked out. The X74 is Isuzu's designation I think they were all pretty much the same. I almost forgot to mention we have a2nd set of wheels and tires for it. Please email, or call me at your convenience if there's anything else I can do for you.

    Interesting, though all I get when I click on the link is:

    We are sorry, but the vehicle history report cannot be displayed at this time. Please ask the dealer for a copy of an AutoCheck report for this vehicle.



    But since it's you Kat, I'll still go with......

    Y'all had me worried for nuthin. Those rims ain't got no offset. Maybe he used some spacers. I like having the deep dishes.

    My buddy almost has me convinced to enter the Proton in a car show next weekend to help support Children's Miracle Network. I've never been much on car shows but it's for a good cause. I'll letcha know what happens.
