    Farewell and 4-Wheel Burnout

    After having driven my VX 130,000 miles over the past ten years, it is with great reluctance that it is replaced with a shiny new model. The good news is that it will stay in the family, and will always be available to me. My 17 y/o daughter was just 7 when I got it. She & I have made 3 trips to Moab, driven across the Imperial Sand dunes in SoCal, and retraced the Baja 1000, among many closer-to-home adventures. Needless to say, she grew up in in the VX, and loves it as much as I do, so it's hers now.



    Just before I replaced the nearly 50,000 miles-old BFG ATs for her, we tethered it to a post and did a 4-wheel burnout for the fun of it. Once tires start spinning, it takes very little throttle to maintain spin. It was an interesting exercise.







    So what was the VX replaced with? A 556 BHP Jag XFR & BMW M5 eater, known as the "Most powerful V8 production sedan ever made made", Cadillac CTS-V
