    also

    dont be scared away people even here post there problems they do not post when everything is going fine. I bought mine new 9 years or so ago had the window issues and some TOD issues under warranty and a rear axle seal leak that the dealer took too many attempts to fix but on the whole I am happy with cost of ownership VS thrill of ownership

    True. Other than the window issues (now fixed), the only problems I've had are self imposed.

    Nope ... MANY of my problems are imposed by Zeus or Handeeman. I'd go nutz if I didn't have Lbud as a wingman.

    Arrow

    The mayor issue with VX is its engine.
    Good bunch of isuzu trucks carrying this same engine blows away due oil compsumtiom.keep a tight & consistent view on its oil level & you wiil be on the right path.
    Also it is important that you find a VX that the previous owner took take of it.
    Besides that & the windows there's all other stuff that can go bad in any car as it normal.happens.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Ha, some wingman, I'll betcha if ya radioed him right now and said ya got a bogie (Zeus) on your tail, your wingman is asleep. So most of the time your flyin solo. Plus so many times it appears you're on a Kamikazi mission......I'll let Zeus take it from here.
    Oh and not to TJ, the biggest problem I've had with my VX is not having the funds to Mod it, not fix it. If my money comes in from that guy I sold the Bugatti Veyron to in Texas, I'll be set.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
