Is that thing custom?
That's the question I got from someone as I got out of the VX the other day. He wanted to know if I had built it, or if it really was an Isuzu (still have all of my badging). After I assured him that it was fully stock, he said that it was good to see that Isuzu was finally catching up to some of the other manufacturers in the design department. In all fairness, I still have the dealer tags on the car because I just bought it a couple of weeks ago. When I told him that it was, actually, a 2000 model his jaw hit the floor.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole exchange, and can't wait stump someone else.
