First day I drove my VX, which was probably just over 2 weeks ago, I pulled into an automotive store to check out rubber mats. The car that pulled in next to me - well, I'm not the type who's looking to see if anyone's looking, but this guy was pretty obvious and stopped me and asked some questions. Then the next day I was out and there were two women I had to wait on to get out of their car so I could get to my VX. They were checking it out and said it was "cute", and I know that bothers some of you but it really doesn't bother me because a compliment's a compliment. Besides, my mom saw it and said it was pretty tough looking and definitely looked like a guy's vehicle. My dad saw it and he normally doesn't get too excited about much of anything and he said something I won't repeat, but he liked it. I've seen a few people looking since but haven't been approached anymore yet. What's kinda interesting is that there is definitely some kind of jealousy or competitive thing under the surface at work. There are supervisors who I don't think like having people who work for them having nicer vehicles, and people with new vehicles who talked about them a lot and now they may feel trumped. One guy was, in a roundabout way, putting down my previous car once, and hasn't uttered a peep on the VX. Just plain silly stuff. I did have someone say it looks a bit like something else on the road but they couldn't remember what. No big deal, but I can't think of anything like it. Closest thing is maybe some of the Amigos, or if you want to really stretch it a Hyundai Santa Fe from the front. Headlights are probably most like some of the Preludes or Mitsubishi sports cars... there just really isn't anything I'd confuse it with. Then again there are people who just don't pay it that kind of attention and practically can't tell a Mustang from a Mazda or whatever. One thing I've noticed is a lot of things with similar cladding, but less of it, and I think they all came out with it after the VehiCROSS debuted. Oh, and on a side note, I had this guy with a tricked out older Integra sitting a mile from the steering wheel with the aftermarket exhaust from hell and all the rest (you know the type) who pulled out right behind me and then decided he had to race past me, and I played with that a bit because this thing is my baby and I haven't even gunned it yet. Before we hit the speed limit he backed off after I let him get almost even with me and then just left him. Now I'm not really one for street racing (and the VX isn't meant for it) and I won't make a habit of this and don't want to rag it out, but it was kinda fun just this once, and I didn't even give it all the VX had.
