    Smile She just turned 140k!!

    Happy to report the ol' Astral just turned 140k and running strong. Gave her a synthetic oil change and Mobil 1 Filter, check over, and all is looking good! My next fix is the window updates. Who says the VX is a clunker.......ba humbug......

    Hi Lisa,
    The Diff from your RIP VX is working out great too. Nice and quiet and do not have to crank the stereo everytime to drown out the loud diff whine at freeway speeds. Thanks again for the good deal, you are a lifesaver!!

    I am about the same farmpro but I did fix my rear diff (thanks to Lisa/VX Crazy). I average about 16-17 mpg.

    Ya'll need to get out and drive your VX more.



    I have over 25,000 miles in the last twelve months! I work three days a week, 47 weeks a year, 140 days, at 22 miles one way thats only a 6,100 mile a year commute. That means I have 19,000 miles having fun driving my VX to outdoor recreation areas. I enjoy the outdoors year-round. At 25K per year, I'll be at 300K miles in just four short years!

    Follow me. I will lead you to 300K.
