The Official UNofficial Compliment Thread

[-x-]

From parkin in front of the club downtown (where I shouldn't have) and coming out to find a cop behind me he says over his loudspeaker:

Is that your (short silence) truck? Yes sir, i reply. He says if i knew what it was you'd have a ticket by now...you should move it. = )

From tha majority of my kids (i teach sunday school):

Take me for a ride!!! PLEEEEEASE | Turn up tha radio! PLEEEEASE

Drivin thru the local spot where racers meet up before heading out to race:

Oh ***** its a space ship! | How'd you get your interior like that?
And what makes me happiest: Wanna Race? ; )

I've gotten the "big o'le tennis shoe" before. I've also had a lot of compliments, including today when someone tapped on my window while I was leaving Toys R Us... asked a bunch of questions about it.

I wrote a friend of mine who lives in Japan (had him translate the prices from the JDM VX accessory brochure) and his reference to it was "Oh is that one of those trucks that it looks like the Power Rangers drive?"

My Dentist said it looked like a tennis shoe on wheels...but, he didn't say it in a mean fashion. My next-door-neighbor came over the first week I bought it and said the front looked like the head of a rattlesnake. Coming out of a pizza place a couple told me it looked like a moon buggy. Mainly I get simply..."I've never seen one before!"

my friends said " what the heck is a vx?"

then they see it and say "oh, ive seen those, those rock"

I had to drive to Baltimore this weekend to pick up my new puppy and it's funny to just set your cruise on the highway at 75 (speed limit 65). People would speed up to all sorts of speeds just to get alongside me to see what it is, and since i am debadged, they could get no clue. Then, they would speed up to get in front of me to look for a logo in the grill, breaking their necks to look back. But, I painted my ISUZU logo in the grill black so it's harder to make out. They usually drop off their speed and back off, but many were giving the thumbs up and winking. That sort of stuff will really make your day.

A friend of mine says the front looks like a catfish.... Ya it kinda does...Ha Ha

I just can't get enough out of talking about responses from others who see this thing. It's become one of my hobbies now.... getting various feedback from viewers of the VX.

I let my sister borrow my VX Saturday to go run some errands. When she got back to my place, she asked me "Do people look at you funny when you drive?" I just laughed and said "Sure, but I like it. Makes me feel like I am the allstar quarterback on the high school team. I milk it for all it's worth." She then proceeded to tell me about all of the people who were staring at her and a few of the responses she got from people around. The typical feedback we are used to, but she was clueless as to just what the typical VXer hears and sees everyday on the road. A learning experience for a VX n00b.
