    Red face Near Death Experience

    Driving through a new business park... each building is like one big mirror. Couldn't help it... almost ran over some smoke-breakers... "Well, officer... I uh... well... ya see..."

    i should know better but damnit my VX looks so cool
    Do they ever stop looking?

    I know the feeling, I do that all the time whenever I go by storefronts or any other building with mirror like windows. The secret is to keep one eye looking in the direction you're travelling and one eye on the pretty reflection. Just don't keep your eyes like that for too long, could cause permanent damage.

    Yeah, I 'm definitely all about mirror-windowed buildings. I still look back at her when I park and walk to a building, too. Can't help it, she's so perty!

    LOL, glad to see I'm not the only one, nothing like being able to see your own lil beaute in motion, kinda like an out of body experience.

    I never leave my fog lghts on(separate switch not tied into ignition) because I always look back.
    I switch cars with a buddy every so often just so I can see her in motion.
    At VX meets I ride shot gun so I can see all the other VXes.

    Talk about looking back, try looking sideways

    was in the parking lot of my school (night college, im old ) and this big *** green dodge truck pulls in next to me, well, damn near on top of me
    i could not back out as his *** end was in my spot and behind me
    his passenger door was 7 inches away from my door and 2 inches from my cladding.
    needless to say i sat there and gave him the "evil eye" through my tint and his tint.

    he started to back up and correct his parking job and scared the **** outta me cause he turned his tires towards me.

    needless to say all came out ok, he moved down to take up two spots instead of jsut the one, so left plenty of room for me to get out and also protected my car from anyone parking next to me

    then, low and behold a WOMAN steps out from behind the wheel. Shoulda known.

    she was in my class so gave her a hard time, plus shes hot so let it go after that

    Okay...so how about when I passed a semi-truck toting one of those chrome like "milk" transports....I couldn't take my eyes off the VX reflection...I could see the black hood insert with IronMan decal and side profile as though it was in a "house of mirrors" carnival funhouse! Wonder I didn't wipe us both out!

    GOT VX!

    VX Rule #1
    When passing any highly shiney surface driver must oogle over his vehicle in the reflection while smiling from ear to ear and loudly playing Right Said Freds "I'm too sexy" with the window down!

    Wouldn't try that, might have a REAL out of body experience. Just make sure it's a milk truck.
