I love my VX, and here's why...

[goffaramma]

I know it's been done to death, because we all love out VXs, but I had to say that I just love this car. Today I was walking to my Vehicross to go see a client, and it was sitting there in the parking lot between a big pickup truck and an Expedition, and it just looked SO bada$$. The thing is so unique, unless it was sitting between a Lamborghini and a Lotus Elise, it would always be the car I'd want to get into. Nothing looks as cool or different than the VX.

That's it. I just had to say that to people who get it... many of my friends just don't get it. My girlfriend does, but I think she's just being nice... she's way too practical. But I don't care, I love my VX.

The cool thing there is that if it really were sitting between a Lotus and a Lamborghini, it is probable that while few of those cars are seen, they are much more recognizable. More people have seen one of those either in person or in print or on TV than have ever laid eyes on a VX. They'd think the Lotus and Lambo were pretty cool, but they'd go back to the VX because of the what-the-heck-is-that-thing factor.

Very True, Heraclid.

And by the way, I went to eat with my girlfriend tonight and after parking the VX, an older gentleman walked by as we were getting out and said "I like that thing. It's unique!". No lie, the guy said exactly that. I smiled and thanked him, and my girlfriend was kinda laughing at me. "You love that", she said. I do.

My girlfriend HATES my VX. She thinks its "cute" and all, but she can't stand the stiff ride. This forces me to have to drive her boring accord on any road trips.

Get a new girlfriend.

I can't stand that floating on air sort of feeling of some vehicles. I much prefer some road feel and feedback. Some people do not realize that a stiff ride is not necessarily a bad thing and there are benefits that go with it. Sport suspensions are stiff. But yeah, my wife and mother have complained about the ride in the VX too. I have the 9-way adjustable Ranchos, but they spend just about all of their time set on 8.

unfortunately I can't replace the girlfriend. The financing just got approved on some hardware that belongs to her in the near future :-/
