Do you still get the looks?

[hyperkid]

So i was out and about alot yesterday and everywhere i went people were pointing and making a serious effort to turn heads to try and see what it was I was driving. Seems that regularly people come up to me when i'm pumping gas and ask "what is that". I don't live in a really large metropolis so it's kinda fun - I feel so righteous and celebrity when i drive my VX.

Do you still get the look?

[circmand]

A couple times a week usually when gassing up the person at the next pump starts a conversation. Its weird that there are still a lot of people who have never seen one.

My latest was at Lowes where I was told it looks like it is "slightly armored"

As a matter of fact, I got a few rubberneckers even today while driving.

[RickOKC]

Yep! I notice a rubbernecker or pointer every 3rd or 4th time I drive it. Every couple of weeks I get a nice comment from a stranger. The last one was, "That's an awesome truck!" Everybody at work was shocked because they thought I'd traded my beloved new-ish Mustang for something even newer!

Now that the gang at work knows what a VX looks like, I've learned there are more in town. Co-workers have told me there is an Astral or Kaiser to the north and another Ironman was spotted just this morning to the south. Too bad they aren't on the forum.

yea i get at least 1-2 comments a week. I was at a car show last Friday and barely got the chance to walk around, just kept getting pulled back to the VX by questions.

My g/f just moved to a new city, and their main street has very high foot traffic. every single time i drive through at least 1 person points

On of the reasons I love my VX.

I had a small car with two women flag me down at a light last week. I was with my beautiful bride and I thought they knew her. I rolled down the passenger window and the the drives said "he that's cool what is it?" at which point my wife just rolled her eyes...she hates the attention it gets...

Yes that's called feminine ego my friend.
My G/F also suffers with that LOL.

She always says : Never thought this toy of yours can get that much attentiom then me

[Gussie2000]

Back on topic. Every single day i get some thumbs up,some jaws heading to the ground,kids walikng around and few chicks wondering (and probably wishing) to get a ride.

The most common words : Man ! Where did you get "that" ? looks like a space ship.

I joke around them saying : At the NASA's dealership,hurry before they all gone

[blacksambo]

I think the VX was the first agressively styled auto, however the rest of the world has now caught up and the VX is a museum piece... in a positive vein.

I get comments and head turns all the time. But I really get a kick out of the ppl that wave, just to acknowledge the truck. They don't know me from Adam, but wave just from the novelty of seeing it. Happens about twice a week or so. Kids especially will wave. Only drawback is I'm rarely quick enough to wave back but it brings a smile to my face every time.

[IRONVIKING]

I get it all the time too. Ive noticed that its a higher percentage of females that like the look.
I used to park on the street in Seattle and people walking their kids to school would suddenly become anchored because their little daughter wanted to look at it. People would always try to figure it out as the jogged by and do a dbl take but I took all the badges off so they cant tell. We would sit in my window after work and laugh at how many people were like "whoa" as they walked by.

Hey just the other week i was getting gas an a guy driving a jeep wrangler waiting at the light started blowing his horn till he got my attenion saying how cool it is,ask me questions how much he likes them what year is it how can he get one and what is it then cars started blowing at him because the light changed it just makes you feel good to be popular lol....

[tom4bren]

... then cars started blowing at him because the light changed it just makes you feel good to be popular lol....

'Cept in Philly. Multiple car horns are frequently followed by gunshots.

"The streets of Philadelphia are safe ... it's the people you have to watch out for" - I think it was the mayor who said that.

[MSHardeman]

I think we're all a bit narcissistic in a way. I mean, really, who else drives around looking at passing motorists to see if they are checking you out? I know I do it all the time, and when I'm in another car, or in a rental, and I see that no one is gawking at my car I get a little sad. There's something just a little off about each and every one of us.
