    Question Random thought...

    Anyone else thought the VX looks similar to an off road Porsche 944 Turbo? Just add cladding and lift...

    I've seen reviews compare a VX to a porche, but i never saw it either.

    Month ago or so I pulled into a shop and some dude working there was loving the VX and said he liked it better than the new 4x4 Porche, but I still dunno what he was talking about.

    I know exactly what you mean as a 1984 Porsche 944 was my 1st car when I was 16 and I feel like it is the extended fenders on the 944 and the lines of the cars are similar. I think this is one of the reasons I love VX's ;-) Good call for sure! The 944 was basically a 924 with wider fenders.

    If you zoom in on the area just about the rear tire on the VX and then on the 944 you will see that area is almost identical on both cars. :-)

    hmmm.....

    See the similarities in the fender angles? And the relation to the side window is similar as well:

    There you go!

    Also, I had forgotten about this model of 944 (VERY limited edition).
    It squares off the back end a bit to be a little closer to the VX...



    .............well, maybe not. LOL

    Haha, nah, although I just got done with the Projector HID headlight Mod on the VX, and I had a lot of fumes from painting yesterday, but I wore a very nice mask so I think I am ok by now ;-) I am VERY pleased with the final results and I rewired everything, especially the Hella Micro DE HID fog lights right below them. Now the fogs have a relay per bulb just to make sure :-)

    Pics and video shortly.....
