    Just hit 100k miles

    I don't know why this "mile"stone seems so momentous, but after many years, my trusty Ebony VX has finally hit 100,000 miles. For its anniversary I polished the headlights and installed LED bulbs in the round front foglight holes. It looks and runs sharp!

    Guess, though, like an aging wife, it's time to trade the old warhorse in for a new Prius or Hyundai or Kia Soul or even a shiny Jeep, huh?


    BWAAAAA-haaa-haaa, had you going. I'll keep this VX forever.
    OEM roof rack, Thule Xpedition 696 rack, Rancho RS9000 shocks, OME 913 coil springs, 3" lift, American Racing Teflon Chambers wheels, Yokohama Geolandar HT/S G051 tires (275/70/16), Energy Suspension greaseable bushings, steel-braided Kevlar-reinforced brake lines, WeatherTech wind deflectors, Malibu 18w driving lights, Plasma SuperWhite 100w headlights, NGK Iridium plugs, K&N drop-in air filter, Optima Red Top, Psychos2 rear-door subwoofer enclosure w/CDT Audio 10" sub, Blaupunkt subwoofer amp, iPod Video 80GB, Kenwood KVT-617 DVD head unit w/7" motorized touch-screen, Kenwood GPS HD navigation module, Kenwood iPod adapter, Kenwood back-up camera, Sirius radio, Flowmaster Extreme Off-Road muffler (black diamond-plate steel) w/ carbon fiber tip, Ford Taurus OEM cup-holder/coin tray (single-DIN/lower bay), personalized license plate "ORBITAL", 3M window tint, debadged, removed rear seat, custom 'radiation symbol' side magnetic signs, VX Concepts front skid plate

    Grats on the milestone.

    Nah, you didn't have me going. "Prius or Hyundai or Kia Soul or even a shiny Jeep" just ain't believable ... even for someone as gullible as me.

    Nice, I never saw my VX without 6 digits in the odometer. Its funny to think that 100,000 miles on a 99' can be considered "low mileage."

    Keep that low mileage VX pristine
