    Hey Pops - Better hurry on home - your soup's gettin' cold!

    Congrats on the long run of good fortune, both you AND your VX! I'm 54 years old - though I've only owned my VX for 18 months or so, I honestly can't think of ANYTHING at ANY price that I'd rather be driving! And unlike most people here on this Forum, I think Isuzu did a pretty damned good job on this vehicle, right out of the box! I've cut the rear bump stops, removed the rear "Isuzu" BANNER, added a Tone-style hitch, and changed out the radio/CD changer (and removed the rear seat and spare tire); other than that, she's stone stock! 73K miles; hope to get 3 times that before I send her out to pasture...

    Even if my 50's are half as much fun as my 40's, I'm gonna have a blast!

    Well I bought my VX about a month shy of my 29th birthday, so I guess there's a reasonable chance that I'll be able to claim the same thing in less than 9 years.

    And Ganz, I'd say it's only most of the more vocal members. There's something like 2000+ registered accounts, and I would wager the vast majority of them are "stone" stock.
